JAMES COOK 7 Chapel Street, Hyde, Cheshire, Overlooker over Power-loom
Weavers.
I JAMES COOк do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
:-
My invention consists in being able to adjust the improved swell for greater or
less lift of stop rod of loom. The swell being in two divisions, or parts, and
connected by angles of the swell and connecting arm at the back of swell: -the
angle of swell having a slot in middle through which a set screw goes and is
received by the angle of arm; or a lock nut let in slot of arm so that by screwing
the nut tight the two parts become as one, and constitute the swell. The said
angles can be tongued and grooved if desired; or raised in middle and on the
edges as prefered. For a greater or less lift of stop-rod of loom :-Unscrew
the nut that connects the two divisions of swell and put the swell far through the
box back in box of loom; or vice verza; screw the nut tight again and you have
as great or as little a lift as you desire, and will always strike the picker in centre
at the same time.

JAMES COOK 7 Chapel Street Hyde Cheshire Overlooker over Power-loom
Weavers, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :-
My invention is an adjustable swell for loom, which consists in being able to
adjust the same for greater or less lift of stop rod of loom.
The swell being in two divisions or parts connected by angle A. of the swell
Fig. 1. and angle B. of connecting arm Fig. 2. The angle A. of swell Fig. 1.
having a slot C in middle Fig. 3. through which a set screw D. goes Fig. 4. and is
received by the angle B. of arm, Fig. 2 or a lock nut E. Fig. 4. let in slot F. of
arm Fig. 2 so that by screwing the set screw D. Fig. 4 tight the angle A. of
swell Fig. 1. and angle B. of arm Fig. 2. become as one and constitute the swell;
as shown complete on Fig. 7.
Angle A Fig. 1. and angle B. Fig. 2. can be tongued and grooved if desired or
raised in middle and on the edges if prefered.
For a greater or less lift of stop rod of loom :-Unscrew the set screw D. Fig. 4.
that connects the two divisions of swell and put the swell G. Fig. 5 (No. 2. Sheet)
far through the box back H. Fig. 6 (No. 2. Sheet) in box of loom or vice verza;
screw the set screw D. Fig. 4. tight again and you have as great or as little a lift
as you desire and will strike the picker in centre at the same time.

page_text: The last drawing on (No. 1 Sheet) Fig. 7. is a plan of Fig. 7. above it.
The topmost drawing Fig. 6. (No. 2 Sheet) is a box back in which the front of
swell is shown by letter G. Fig. 5.
The middle drawing Fig. 6. (No. 2 Sheet) is a side view of swell in box back
as shown by letter G.
The last drawing Fig. 6. (No. 2 Sheet) is a back view of swell in box back as
shown by letter G. Fig. 5.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
1st Claim. The novelty of my invention consists in, the swell itself, its being in
two divisions, or parts.
2nd Claim. The swells capacity to be adjusted for greater, or less lift of stop
rod of loom.
3rd Claim. The junction, or the angles of swell, and connecting arm, whether
slotted, tongued and grooved, or raised on the edges and middle, or plain as a
slide; whether fastened by set screw, lock nut or other attachment so that they
constitute the swell.
