Improvements in or relating to Pattern and Let-off Mechanism of
Looms for Weaving.
I, WILLIAM SUTCLIFFE of 12, Norfolk Street, Nelson, in the County of
Lancaster, Machinist, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The first part of my invention relates to arrangements of mechanism for con-
trolling the action of pattern cylinders, and it embraces features of novelty not
possessed by any other index machine for the like purpose, namely that of holding
all the feelers or indicating levers out of contact with the pattern cylinder at one
and the same time, when weaving the groundwork of a handkerchief, or a long
repetition of the same colour of weft, whilst for the time being the pattern surface
is at rest and inoperative; also, in causing the pattern cylinder or cylinders of
rotary boxes, dobbies and jacquards to reverse and repeat any given pattern over
and over again in a peculiar and novel manner, by which arrangements of
mechanism, I am enabled to dispense with the use of cards and pegged pattern
surfaces to a considerable and surprising extent not possible with any existing
machine or index motion.
In carrying out this part of my invention, I employ one or more ratchet wheels,
which are mounted on a stud, which is preferably chased with a screw thread, the
ratchet wheels being likewise chased to correspond, so as to be capable of moving
laterally upon the said stud.
To hold up the feelers or indicating levers out of contact with the pattern surface
whilst weaving the ground pattern, use another feeler or lever, which is raised
and lowered with the rest, and provided with a pin at its extremity similar to the
other levers. When the pin of the said additional lever enters a hole or perforation
in the card surface, a catch jointed to the said lever or feeler is lowered to engage
with a segment, which is thereby raised by the lifting action of the said lever,
sufficiently to prop the levers or feelers out of contact with the pattern surface.
During the inoperation of the indicating levers or feelers, a ratchet wheel is set in
motion taking up a tooth at a time, until an adjustable peg on the said wheel is
brought in contact with the segment or prop, pushing it out of contact with the
feelers or levers, which then fall and actuate the pattern surface in the usual
manner, after the completion of the ground work. Immediately the prop or
segment is thrown out of contact, it bears against a retaining catch, disengaging it
from the ratchet wheel, which then recoils back to its normal position by the action
of a spring until a fresh groundwork or long repetition of the same colour of weft
is required, when the prop or segment is again brought in contact with the feelers
or levers and the ratchet wheel again set in motion.
To reverse the motion and repeat any particular pattern on the card cylinder, I
make use of another of the ratchet wheels hereinbefore mentioned, to which 1 affix
a disc, on the periphery of which is formed a series of indentations and projections,
one following the other alternately in succession. The length of each indentation
and projection is equal to the traverse or movement of a tooth of the said ratchet
wheel.
A double catch or pallet strides and actuates a wheel secured to the arbor of the
pattern cylinder. This wheel is provided with two rows of teeth, one row being
reversely disposed to the other. The indentations of the disc are designed, by the
intervention of an intermediate lever, to engage the pallet with the teeth on one
side of the wheel, to actuate the pattern cylinder in one direction; whilst the
projections on the disc cause the pallet to engage with the teeth on the reverse side
of the wheel, to reverse the direction of the cylinder.

page_text: When therefore any particular part of the pattern surface is to be repeated, a
peg is fixed to the surface at each end of such particular part, so as to raise a lever
and engage an actuating catch with the ratchet wheel attached to the disc for the
space of one tooth, and present an indentation under the intermediate lever to
reverse the pallet and consequently the pattern cylinder. In this position the
pallet remains, until the peg at the opposite end of the particular part of the
pattern surface engages the actuating catch for the space of another tooth of
the ratchet wheel, when a projection is then presented under the intermediate lever
to reverse the pallet and turn the pattern cylinder the reverse way. When this
part of the pattern has been repeated to the extent required, an adjustable piece
fixed to the disc is now brought into position, so as to prevent the intermediate
lever from falling into the indentation following on the disc, thereby allowing the
pattern surface to proceed forward unmolested by the peg on the pattern surface.
Simultaneously with the presentation of the adjustable piece under the inter-
mediate lever as above described, a projection or stud on the disc wheel releases or
throws back a retaining catch, when the wheel and disc recoil backwards, where
the said projection or stud drops the retaining catch upon the wheel in readiness
for the next repetition of the particular part of the pattern.
To further increase the extent and range of operation of the ratchet wheel and
its disc, they are mounted upon a chased stud, and when in operation are caused to
travel laterally for one or more revolutions of the said wheel and disc before their
motion is arrested by the adjustable piece and projection secured to their respective
wheel and disc.
In another arrangement, substitute for the disc wheel above described a
suitable drum, which is mounted upon a stationary chased stud, on the end of which
is loosely mounted two ratchets, secured together with a long projecting pin or
dragger, which connects the drum to the ratchets in such a manner that as the
latter revolve they carry round with them the drum, but at the same time allow
the drum to travel laterally upon the chased stud. These two ratchets have their
teeth reversely disposed to each other and are respectively acted upon by a pallet
or double catch jointed to an additional feeler or lever, which is raised and lowered
upon the pattern surface with the rest, and provided with a pin at its extremity
like the rest of the feelers or levers.
When the pin of the additional lever enters a hole or perforation in the card
surface, the subsequent lift of the lever enables the pallet or double catch jointed
thereto to act upon the teeth of one or other of the ratchets, turning them and
the drum to the extent of one tooth, but when a blank on the card is presented
to the additional lever or feeler, no motion is imparted to the ratchets or to
the drum. On the circumference of this drum are formed a series of holes
following each other in a spiral manner with the distance apart equal to the
extent of the movement of one tooth of the ratchets. Into these holes or per-
forations are fitted pegs or half pegs, which act upon a lever, which is thereby
capable of reversing the pallet or double catch from one ratchet to the other
of the card cylinder when a full peg is presented on the drum; but when a half
peg is presented, the pallet is moved midway of its traverse, so as to engage with
neither one nor the other of the ratchets of the pattern cylinder, which is therefore
inoperative for the time being. During this time, however, a hole is present on
the card to allow the pin of the additional feeler or lever to enter, so as to obtain
sufficient lift to actuate the ratchets of the drum otherwise the whole system would
be inoperative and fail to act.
It will be obvious, that during a following of half pegs upon the drum, the
pattern surface will be stationary and consequently only the same colour or filling
of weft will be woven as the boxes are at rest.
To prevent the perpendicular arms
of the feelers or levers from throwing the catches upon the knife at this time, a
lever is caused by the action of the half pegs upon the drum to bear against the
perpendicular arins of the feelers.
The extent of lateral traverse of the drum upon the chased stud in either direction

page_text: is determined by a tilting lever, loosely mounted on the chased stud, and which
is thrown over on the reverse side of the stud by a peg suitably disposed upon the
drum, and is so connected with the pallet or double catch, as to throw it upon the
reverse ratchet of the drum, when the said drum will be moved in a reverse lateral
direction to that it previously took upon the chased stud. Or, in substitution of
the drum an endless chain of lags may be used on a barrel, and provided with pegs
and half pegs acting in a similar manner to the pegs and half pegs described in the
foregoing arrangement.
The second part of my invention relates to looms having two or more warp beams,
from which the yarn from one beam is taken up into the fabric more than that of
the other as in weaving terry and crimp cloths, aud consists in an arrangement or
positive delivery of the warp beam, which is effected from the double carrier wheels
of the taking up motion, through the medium of a pair of sprocket wheels and chain,
which actuate a measuring roller, delivering the warp at a positive and uniform
speed.

Improvements in or relating to Pattern and Let-off Mechanism of
Looms for Weaving.
I, WILLIAM SUTCLIFFE of 12, Norfolk Street, Nelson, in the County of
Lancaster, Machinist, 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 iollowing statement:-
The first part of my invention relates to arrangements of mechanism for controlling
the action of pattern cylinders, and it embraces features of novelty not possessed by
any other index machine for the like purpose, namely that of holding all the feelers
or indicating levers out of contact with the pattern cylinder at one and the same
time, when weaving the groundwork of a handkerchief or a long repetition of the
same colour of weft, whilst for the time being the pattern surface is at rest and
inoperative; also in causing the pattern cylinder or cylinders of rotary boxes,
dobbies and jacquards to reverse and repeat any given pattern over and over again
in a peculiar and novel manner, by which arrangements of mechanism, I am enabled
to dispense with the use of cards and pegged pattern surfaces to a considerable aud
surprising extent, not possible with any existing machine or index motion.
In carrying out this part of my invention, I employ one or more ratchet wheels,
which are mounted on a stud which is preferably chased with a screw thread, the
ratchet wheels being likewise chased to correspond; so as to be capable of moving
laterally upon the said stud.
To hold up the feelers or indicating levers out of contact with the pattern
surface whilst weaving the ground pattern, I use another feeler or lever, which is
raised and lowered with the rest and provided with a pin at its extremity similar
to the other levers. When the pin of the said additional lever enters a hole or
perforation in the card surface, a catch jointed to the said lever or feeler is lowered
to engage with a segment, which is thereby raised by the lifting action of the said
lever, sufficiently to prop the levers or feelers out of contact with the pattern surface.
During the inoperation of the indicating levers or feelers, a ratchet wheel is set in
motion, taking up a tooth at a time, until an adjustable peg on the said wheel is
brought in contact with the segment or prop, pushing it out of contact with the
feelers or lovers, which then fall and actuate the pattern surface in the usual
manner after the completion of the groundwork. Immediately the prop or segment
is thrown out of contact, it bears against a retaining catch, disengaging it from the
ratchet wheel, which then recoils back to its normal position by the action of a
spring, until a fresh groundwork or long repetition of the same colour of weft is

page_text: required, when the prop or segment is again brought in contact with the feelers
or levers, and the ratchet wheel again set in motion.
To reverse the motion, and repeat any particular pattern on the card cylinder, I
make use of another of the ratchet wheels hereinbefore mentioned, to which I
affix a disc, on the periphery of which is formed a series of indentations and
projections, one following the other alternately in succession. The length of each
indentation and projection is equal to the traverse or movement of a tooth of the
said ratchet wheel.
A double catch or pallet strides and actuates a wheel secured to the arbor of the
pattern cylinder. This wheel is provided with two rows of teeth, one row being
reversely disposed to the other. The indentations of the disc are designed, by
the intervention of an intermediate lever, to engage the pallet with the teeth on one
side of the wheel to actuate the pattern cylinder in one direction; whilst the
projections on the disc cause the pallet, to engage with the teeth on the reverse
side of the wheel, to reverse the direction of the cylinder.
When, therefore, any particular part of the pattern surface is to be repeated, a
peg is fixed to the surface at each end of such particular part, so as to raise a
lever and engage an actuating catch with the ratchet wheel attached to the disc
for the space of one tooth, and present an indentation under the intermediate lever
to reverse the pallet and consequently the pattern cylinder. In this position the pallet
remains until the peg at the opposite end of the particular part of the pattern
surface engages the actuating catch for the space of another tooth of the ratchet
wheel, when a projection is then presented under the intermediate lever to reverse
the pallet and turn the pattern cylinder the reverse way. When this part of the
pattern has been repeated to the extent required, and adjustable piece fixed to the
dise is now brought into position, so as to prevent the intermediate lever from
falling into the indentation following on the disc, thereby allowing the pattern
surface to proceed forward unmolested by the peg on the pattern surface.
Simultaneously with the presentation of the adjustable piece, under the inter-
mediate lever as above described, a projection or stud on the disc wheel releases or
throws back a retaining catch, when the wheel and disc recoil backwards, where
the said projection or stud drops the retaining catch upon the wheel in readiness
for the next repetition of the particular part of the pattern.
To further increase the extent and range of operation of the ratchet wheel and
its disc, they are mounted on a chased stud, and when in operation are caused to
travel laterally for one or more revolutions of the said wheel and disc before their
motion is arrested by the adjustable piece and projection secured to their respective
wheel and disc.
In another arrangement, I substitute for the disc wheel above described a
suitable dram, which is mounted upon a stationary chased stud, on the end of which
are loosely mounted two ratchets secured together by a long projecting pin or
dragger, which connects the drum to the ratchets in such a manner, that as the
latter revolve they carry round with them the drum, but at the same time allow
the drum to travel laterally upon the chased stud. These two ratchets have their
teeth reversely disposed to each other, and are respectively acted upon by a pallet
or double catch jointed to an additional feeler or lever, which is raised and lowered
upon the pattern surface with the rest and provided with a pin at its extremity
like the rest of the feelers or levers.
When the pin of the additional lever enters a hole or perforation in the card
surface, the subsequent lift of this lever enables the pallet or double catch jointed
thereto to act upon the teeth of one or other of the ratchets turning them and the
drum to the extent of one tooth, but when a blank on the card is presented to the
additional lever or feeler no motion is imparted to the ratchets or to the drum. On
the circumference of this drum are formed a series of holes following each other in
a spiral manner with the distance apart equal to the extent of the movement of
one tooth of the ratchet. Into these holes or projections are fitted pegs or half
pegs, which act upon a lever, which is therefore capable of reversing the pallet or

page_text: double catch from one ratchet to the other of the card cylinder when a full peg is
presented on the drum, but when a half peg is presented, the pallet is moved
midway of its traverse, so as to engage with neither one nor the other of the
ratchets of the pattern cylinder, which is therefore inoperative for the time being.
During this time, however, a hole is present on the card to allow the pin of the
additional feeler or lever to enter, so as to obtain sufficient lift to actuate the
ratchets of the drum, otherwise the whole system would be inoperative and fail
to act.
It will be obvious, that during following of half pegs upon the drum, the
pattern surface will be stationary, and consequently only the same colour or filling
of weft will be woven as the boxes are at rest. To prevent the perpendicular arms
of the feelers or levers from throwing the catches upon the knife at this time, a
lever is caused by the action of the half pegs upon the drum to bear against the
perpendicular arms of the feelers.
The extent of the lateral traverse of the drum upon the chased stud in either
direction is determined by a tilting lever loosely mounted on the chased stud, an i
which is thrown over on the reverse side of the stud by a peg, suitably disposed
upon the drum, and is so connected with the pallet or double catch as to throw it
upon the reverse ratchet of the drum, when the said drum will be moved in a
reverse lateral direction to that it previously took upon the chased stud. Or in
substitution of the drum an endless chain of lags may be used mounted on a barrel
and provided with pegs and half pegs, acting in a similar manner to the pegs and
half pegs described in the foregoing arrangement.
The second part of my invention relates to looms having two or more warp
beams, from which the yarn from one beam is taken up into the fabric, more than
that of the other as in weaving terry and crimp cloths, and consists of a novel
arrangement whereby I am enabled to obtain a positive delivery from one of the
warp beams. The warp from one of the warp beams is drawn into the fabric in a
positive manner by means of sprocket wheels and chain, or ropes or belts and
pulleys, or other suitable driving arrangement may be employed.
In connection with the double carrier wheel of the taking-up motion, is fixed a
wheel or pulley, which by means of a chain, rope or belt transmits motion to
another wheel or pulley at the back of the loom, and through a system of gear
wheels, a measuring roller and guide rollers draws the warp from off the (upper)
warp beam in a positive manuer into the fabric.
In the accompanying drawings,
Fig. 1 is a front view, Fig. 2 an end view, and Fig. 3 a plan of my improved
arrangement of mechanism for controlling the action of pattern cylinders.
A is a ratchet wheel loosely mounted on the stud A. The feelers or indicating
levers are held out of contact with the pattern surface (when it is desired to form
the ground pattern) by means of an additional feeler or lever B (seen in Figs. 2
and 3) provided with a pin at its extremity similar to the other levers. When the
pin of the said additional lever enters a hole or perforation in the card surface, a
catch B jointed to such lever or feeler is lowered, and engages with the segment C,
the vertical portion of which, by being raised by the lifting action of the
additional lever, props all the indicating levers C2 out of contact with the pattern
surface. Simultaneously with this movement, the lower portion C³ of the segment
allows the weighted catch D, against which bears the spring D', to engage with
the teeth of the ratchet A, and by means of the operating lever D sets it in
motion tooth by tooth, until an adjustable peg on the said ratchet (not shewn on
the drawings) is brought in contact with the segment or prop C, which is thereby
pushed out of contact with the feelers or indicating levers C to allow them to fall
and actuate the pattern in the usual manner after the completion of the ground
work. Fixed to the vertical arm C₁ of the segment is a projecting piece E, which
when the vertical arm of the segment is withdrawn from the indicating levers (2
bears against the flange E' of the retaining catch E disengaging it from the.
ratchet A, which then recoils back to its normal position by the action of the coil

page_text: spring E3 (seen in Fig. 4) until a fresh groundwork or long repetition of the same
colour of weft is required, when the prop or segment C₁ is again brought in contact
with the feelers or levers C2 and the ratchet wheel again set in motion, in the
manner already described.
The motion of the card cylinder is reversed and any particular pattern thereon
repeated by means of another ratchet wheel F, to which I affix the disc G, having
formed on its periphery a series of indentations G and projections G, one
following the other alternately in succession, the length of each indentation and
projection respectively being equal to the traverse or movement of a tooth of the
said ratchet F.
A double catch or pallet H strides and actuates the wheel H', secured to the
arbor of the pattern cylinder, and provided with two rows of teeth reversely
disposed.
To repeat any particular part of the pattern surface, a peg I is fixed to the
surface at each end of such particular part, so as to raise the lever 1, which is
pivotted on the stud 12, and which being thereby partially withdrawn from the
heel of the actuating catch 1 causes it to engage with and actuate the ratchet F
for the space of one tooth by the motion of the operating lever D, against which
it bears. A projection G2 is thus presented to the foot of the lever I', which is
thereby raised to reverse the pallet H, and consequently the pattern cylinder. In
this position the pallet remains, until the peg at the opposite end of the particular
part of the pattern surface engages the actuating catch 13 for the space of another
tooth of the ratchet wheel, when an indentation is then presented under the
intermediate lever 1 to reverse the pallet and turn the pattern cylinder the
reverse way. This part of the pattern having been repeated to the extent required,
the adjustable piece J fixed to the disc G is now brought into position, so as to
prevent the intermediate lever 11 from falling into the indentation following on the
dise G, thereby allowing the pattern surface to proceed forward unmolested by the
peg on the pattern surface.
In Fig. 4 is illustrated means for simultaneously releasing the ratchet wheel F
and disc G on the presentation of the adjustable piece, and returning the same back
to their former position in readiness for the next repetition of the particular part of
the pattern. K is a projection or stud adjustable in any of the perforations K,
and immediately on the presentation of the adjustable piece J (seen in Fig. 1) the
projection or stud K releases or throws back the retaining catch K, against the
stop piece K3, when the ratchet F and disc G immediately recoil backwards by
the action of the spring E³, and with their return movement, the projection or
stud again causes the retaining catch K to engage with the teeth of the
ratchet F.
To further increase the extent and range of the ratchet wheel and its disc, the
stud on which they are mounted may be closed, and when in operation they may be
caused to travel laterally for one or more revolutions upon the said stud before
their motion is arrested in the manner just described.
Figs. 5 and 6 are respectively front and end elevation of another arrangement of
mechanism for effecting the same object. For the ratchet and disc wheel for
operating and reversing the order of motion of the pattern cylinder, I substitute a
suitable drum A mounted upon a stationary chased stud B on the end of which
are loosely mounted face to face two ratchets C and D, secured together by a long
projecting pin or dragger E, which also connects the drum to the ratchets in such
a manner, that as the latter revolve they carry round with them the drum, but at
the same time allow the drum to travel laterally upon the chased stud. These two
ratchets C and D have their teeth reversely disposed to cach other, and are
respectively acted upon by the pallet or double catch F jointed to the feeler or
lever G, which is raised and lowered with the rest of the indicating levers H. H,
and provided with a pin at its extremity like the rest.
To permit of freedom of movement of the double catch F it is preferably jointed
at I to a portion of the additional lever G, which is bent over the other indicating

page_text: lever H, and carried to the outside. When the pin of the additional lever G
enters a hole or perforation in the card surface, the subsequent lift of this lever
enables the pallet or double catch F jointed thereto to act upon the teeth of one
or other of the ratchets C and D, turning them and the drum to the extent of one
tooth in the manner hereinafter described, but when a blank on the card is
presented to the additional lever or feeler, no motion is imparted to the ratchets or
to the drum. On the circumference of this drum A are formed a series of holes
following each other in a spiral manner with the distance apart equal to the extent
of the movement of one tooth of the ratchet. Into these holes or projections are
fitted pegs and half pegs K, which act upon an anti-friction pulley on the vertical
arm L carried by the lever M, which bears on the underside of the weighted
double catch or pallet N, and is therefore capable of reversing such double catch
or pallet from one ratchet to the other of the card cylinder when a full peg is
presented on the drum, but when a half peg is presented, the pallet is moved
midway of its traverse, so as to engage with neither one nor the other of the
ratchets of the pattern cylinder, which is therefore inoperative for the time being.
During this time, however, a hole is present on the card to allow the pin of the
additional lever or feeler G to enter so as to obtain sufficient lift to actuate the
ratchets C and D, otherwise the whole system would be inoperative and fail
to act.
It will be obvious that during a following of half pegs upon the drum A, the
pattern cylinder will be stationary and consequently only the same colour or filling
of weft will be woven as the boxes are at rest. The perpendicular arms H of the
indicating feelers or levers H would, however, under such circumstances, throw
the catch R upon the knife at this time, but in order to obviate this, I provide the
buffer S, swinging freely on the stud S¹ fixed to the weighted end of the lever M.
This buffer is so disposed that when a peg is absent or a full peg presented on the
drum the nose T of the buffer steers clear of the sneck M of the lever M, but
when only a half peg is presented the nose T comes in contact with the sneck M¹
and by aid of the lever V prevents the perpendicular arm H. from throwing the
catch R at this time.
The extent of the lateral traverse of the drum A upon the chased stud B in
either direction is determined by the tilting lever carrying two arms loosely
mounted on the chased stud B, and which is thrown over on the reverse side of the
stud by a peg P, suitably disposed upon the drum coming in contact with an
adjustable projection or lug P fixed to the tilting iever. With this movement one
of the arms of the tilting lever O comes against the projection Q fixed to the
pallet or double catch F, and thereby throws it on the reverse side of the drum A.
when the drum will be moved in a reverse lateral direction to that it previously
took upon the chased stud. In substitution of the drum an endless chain of lags
may be used mounted on a barrel, and provided with pegs and half pegs, acting in
a similar manner to the pegs and half pegs described in the foregoing arrangement.
The additional operating lever W and tappet Ware preferably employed for
operating the additional lever G, although in some cases the old operating lever X
may serve this purpose.
Fig. 7 illustrates my improved arrangement for producing terry or crimp cloths.
A is a driving wheel or pulley, fixed to or in connection with the double carrier
wheel of the take-up, which is on the shaft or arbor of the ordinary measuring
roller B. From the driving wheel or pulley A proceeds the endless chain rope or
belt C, which, after passing under the carrier pulleys D is carried forward and
transmits motion to the wheel or pulley E and thereby also to the change wheel F.
The yarn from the upper warp beam G is passed under guide roller H, over
measuring roller I, and under guide roller J, when it is then carried under the
bearer or guide roller K, and forward under and over the respective lease rods L
and M.
The change wheel F through the medium of the endless chain, rope or belt C
imparts motion to the gear wheels N and O, the latter of which drives the

page_text: measuring roller, whereby the warp is drawn from off the upper warp beam G in a
uniform and positive manner into the fabric.
It will be evident that the altering of the ordinary change wheels for obtaining
a greater or less number of picks to the inch does not in any way affect my
improved crimping arrangement, as this can be altered by substituting a fresh
change wheel F.
In this class of goods very heavy or strong and soft yarns are often woven
together into the fabric. Now, in order to prevent the heavy yarn on the warp
beam P from bearing upon and tearing down the softer yarn, I provide a separate
bearer Q for the heavy yarn, thereby allowing the softer yarn to proceed forward
over the bearer R unmolested and undisturbed into the shed.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, 1 declare that what J
claim is:
-
1. The arrangement of mechanism for controlling the action of pattern cylinders
of rotary boxes, dobbies or jacquards, substantially as described and illustrated
