I JOHN HOWARD STOTT of Baron Street, Rochdale in the County of Lancaster,
Machine Maker 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
-
This invention relates to the machines known as sectional warping' and beaming
machines and consists in arrangements which render such machines more efficient in
action and more convenient in use than they have hitherto been
Fast upon the shaft to which is secured the arm upon which is mounted the presser
18 an arm upon which is mounted the presser weight Secured to the framework of
the machine is a bracket mounted in which and capable of being rotated therein is
boss upon which is mounted a ratchet wheel, which ratchet wheel at times receives
motion by means of a piwl or in any other convenient manner from the shaft on
which the sections are wound In the interior of the said boss are formed screw-
threads which take into or engage with screw-threads formed upon a rod to one end
of which is jointed one end of each of two links One of the said links is jointed to
The
an arm in which is formed a slot and which arm-is loose upon the presser shaft
said arm will hereinafter be styled the slotted lever Projecting into the slot above
mentioned is a stud projecting from a nut capable of being moved by means of a
screw, longitudinally in a slot formed in a lever mounted in or upon a bracket secured
to the framework of the machine Carried by the bracket above-mentioned is one end
of an arm the other end of which is Jointed to one end of one of the links before
mentioned From the arm by which the nut above mentioned is carried projects an
arm provided with a pin which at times passes into a slot formed in an upright rod
Jointed at its lower end to a lever provided with a projecting part which at times
acts against a projecting part or arm fast upon the presser shaft Communicating
with the slot in the upright rod before mentioned is a cross slot in which the pin
above mentioned may at times be retained by a peg or pin passing through a hole in
the said rod
In order that the winding of a "trial section " may be commenced the presser
weight is placed in position to give the required amount of pressure to the yarn
The pin upon the projecting part of the slotted lever is placed in the longi-
tudinal slot in the vertical rod and prevented from passing into the cross slot by
means of the peg or pin previously mentioned so that the presser lever and the 1od
upon which the screw-threads are formed may be moved independently of each other
The "trial section is then wound When the "trial section" has been-wound th
position of the pin in the slot in the vertical rod is observed and should such pin not
be in position to enter the cross slot the nat carried by the slotted lever, is raise or
lowered by the screw until the said pin will enter the cross slot, the pin.or-peg above
mentioned being removed to allow the said pin to enter such cross. slot and after-
wards replaced to prevent the said pin from escaping from the sand cross slota: The
"

page_text: machine is then "set" to commence winding another "section
"and if as the
winding of the "section" proceeds the diameter of the "section" does not increase is
rapidly as is necessary the vertical rod will cause the projecting part on the lever
turning loosely upon the presser shaft to act against a projecting part or arm tast
upon the presser shaft so as to tend to accelerate the ascent of the presser weight and
thereby reduce the pressure upon the "section" being wound In those cases in
which the diameter of the "section" being wound increases too rapidly the descent
of the vertical rod will allow the presser weight to press upon the yarn or thread
being wound upon the "section block" and thereby tend to prevent the too rapid
increase of the diameter of the "section" being wound
"
The slotted lever above mentioned is connected by means of an arm or jaw to the
boss of the friction bowl by means of which the shift on which the " sections are
wound is rotated so that as the ",
"
section being wound increases in diameter the
friction bowl will be moved away from the axis of such shaft so that the yarn will be
wound upon the "section" at an uniform or nearly uniform rite
I provide means by which the lever or arm above mentioned upon the presser shaft
which lever or arm is jointed to and acted upon by the vertical rod before referred to
may after the "trial section "has been wound be secured to the presser shaft
This invention is illustrated by the accompanying drawings in which Fig 1 18
side elevation and Fig 21 front view Certain of the parts shown in Figs and 2
are shown detached in Figs 3 and 4, Fig 3 being a side elevation and Fig 4 a
front elevation of such parts The same letters of reference are applied to corresponding
parts in all of the figures
a, a¹ are side-frames connected by cross bars 6, 61 Supported by and capable of
being turned in bearings formed in the side frames a, a is the presser shaft d fast
upon which is the arm d¹ upon which is secured the presser weight e Secured to the
side frame a is a brichet mounted in which and capable of being rotated therein
18 a boss
upon which is mounted a ratchet wheel g¹ which ratchet wheel g¹ at times
receives motion by means of a pawl g³ The pawlg is mounted upon a lever g³ which
18 oscillated upon a stud 9 by means of a grooved cam h mounted fast upon the
shaft c upon which are mounted the plates c¹, between which is placed the "section
block"A
"
upon which a "section is to be wound
In the interior of the boss g are formed screw-threads which take into or engage
with screw-threads formed upon a rod to one end of which is jointed one end of each
of a pair of links k, k¹ The link is jointed to an arm 7 in which is formed a slot
The arm and other arms and levers and parts acting in conjunction therewith and to
be hereinafter referred to are more clearly shown in Figs 3 and 4
The arm is mounted upon the presser shaft d but is free to be turned thereon
Projecting into the slot is a stud m projecting from a nut m¹ capable of being moved
longitudinally in a slot n¹ formed in the arm n which is provided with a stud n capable
of being turned in a bracket o secured to the cross-bar b The nut m¹ may be moved
longitudinally in the slot n¹ by means of the screw n³ which while free to be turned
in the arm n is prevented from being moved longitudinally therein The screw n³
is provided with a wheel n by which it may be turned Carried by the bracket o
and free to be turned upon the stud n³ is an arm k² one end of which is jointed
to one end of the link k¹ From the arm n projects an arm n³ provided with a
pin p which pin p at times passes into a slot q' in an upright rod 9 Jointed at its lower
end to a lever carried by and free at times to be turned upon the piesser shaft d
The lever is provided with a projecting part 1 which at times acts against a pro-
Jecting parts formed upon a boss & fast upon the presser shaft d Communicating
with the slot ql is a cross slot q² shown more clearly in Fig 5 which shows a
portion of the arm q detached Passing into a hole formed in the rod q is a pin or
peg t
The arms
k¹ act as guides to the end of the rod, to which the
Links kk are jointed
In order that the winding of a "trial section" may be commenced the boss 9 is
turned by means of the handle u in such direction that the rod 12, links k k¹, arms n,
and lever r occupy the positions in which they are indicated in Fig 1, and so that the
and links

or a
presser B carried by the arm d² fast upon the shaft d rests against the " section
block" A The presser weight e is placed and secured in position upon the arm d¹ to
give the requied amount of pressure upon the yarn wound upon the "section block" A,
and the pin p is placed in the slot 9 and is by means of the pin or peg t prevented
froin passing into the cross slot g² so that the arm n and rod q may move independently
of each other Rotary motion being imparted to the shalt ca "trial section'
portion of a "trial section" may be wound During the winding the "trial sec-
tion" the projecting part is kept in contact with the projecting parts by means of
the weight
When the winding of the "tial section or of a portion of the
"trial section" has been completed the attendant stops the machine and observes
the position of the pin p in the s'ot q¹ and if such pin p is not in position to enter
the cross slot q³ the screw n³ is turned by meins of the wheel n¹ so as to
turn the arm n in one direction or the other so as to place the pin p in position to
enter the cross slot q², the pin or peg & being removed to allow the pin p to pass into
the slot in which such pin p is refained by the pin or peg t being replaced in the
position in which it is indicated in the drawings The machine is then ' set to
wind another section" and if is the winding of the "section proceeds the diameter
of the "section" does not increase is rapidly as is necessary the vertical rod 2 will
be raised by the sides of slot of the irm icting on the stud in projecting from
the nut m mounted in the slot a¹ in the arm n The raising of the rod 9 will
cause the projecting part 71 on the lever to act against the projecting part sand
by so doing tend to turn the presser shatt d in the direction indicated by the
arrow E and thus tend to accelerate the ascent of the prosser weight e so as to
reduce the pressure upon the "section" being wound In case the diameter of the
"section" being wound increases too rapidly the sides of the slot l'acting upon the
stud m will by turning the arm n cause the rod q to descend so is to turn the lever
in a direction opposite to that indicated by the arrow E and by so turning the lever r
will carry the projecting part r¹ away from the projecting parts and allow the presser
weight e to act by means of the presser B upon the "section" being wound and so
tend to prevent the too rapid increase of the diameter of the "section" being wound
To the arm n 18 jointed one end of a rod jointed at its other end to an arm to secured
to a boss to secured to a short shaft & supported by and capable of being turned in a
boss & formed on the cross bar b Fast upon the boss w¹ is an arm y the lower end of
which is formed with jaws provided with pins which pins pass into a groove ¹ formed
in the boss of the "friction bowl" z by means of which and one or other of the discs 2³,
c, the shaft c is rotated As the "section" being wound increases in diameter the
"friction bowl " 2 will be moved away from the axis of the shaft c so that the yarn will
be wound upon the "section" at an uniform or nearly uniform rate
The shaft 1 receives rotary motion in any suitable manner and imparts rotary motion
to the "friction bowl" z by means of a key and groove
"
"
1 provide the boss of the lever r with a set screw 2 by which the lever may be
made fast upon the shaft d
"trial section
When a
or a portion of a "trial section
has been wound as previously described and the stud m has been placed in position for
causing the pin p to be placed in position for entering the slot the lever is made
fast upon the presser shaft d by the set screw 2 By the lever being made fast
upon the presser shaft d the subsequent "sections" wound will be prevented from
being of a diameter greater than that of the "trial section If desired the lever r
may be made fast upon the presser shaft d during the winding of the "trial section
During such winding of the "trial section" the pin p is prevented from passing into
the slot by the pin or peg t
When a portion of the "trial section" has been
wound the position of the pin p in relation to the cross slot is observed and
should the pin p not be in position to pass into the cross slot q³ the wheel n* 18
turned in one direction or the other until the cross slot q* is brought opposite to
the pin P
"
The pin or peg t is then removed to allow the pin p to pass into the cross slot 9*
in which it is retained by the pin or peg t being inserted into the hole formed to receive
it in the and

subsequently wound are thus rendered the same or nearly so
"
In some cases instead of imparting rotary motion to the boss 9 by meins of a
pawl g³ and ratchet wheel g¹ as above described I impart rotary motion to the boss
by means of a worm and worm-wheel or any other convenient and suitable means
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
