Improvements in Sectional Warping and Beaming Machines and
Machines similar to Sectional Warping and Beaming Machines
and used in Dressing Warps in Sections, and Balling Machines for
use in the Formation of Balled Warps from Yarns or Threads and
the Winding into Balls of Yarns or Threads in the Form of Warps
or other analogous Forms.
I, JOHN HOWARD STOTT, of Wardleworth Iron Works, Whitworth Road, Roch-
dale, in the County of Lancaster, Machine Maker, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention to be as follows: -
My invention consists in improvements in sectional warping and beaming
machines and machines similar to sectional warping and beaning machines and
used in dressing warps in sections and balling machines for use in the formation of
balled warps from yarns or threads and the winding into balls of yarns or threads
in the form of warps or other analogous forms.
My invention consists firstly in the application of tapering speed cones for trans-
mitting motion between parts of sectional warping or beaming machines and
machines similar to sectional warping and beaming machines and used in dressing
warps in sections and balling machines which require to have their relative angular
velocities changed or adjusted from time to time. The tapering speed cones
applied in a sectional warping or beaming machine or a machine similar to a
sectional warping or beaming machine or balling machine according to this part
of my invention may be surrounded by open or crossed belts or the transmission of
motion from one speed cone to another may be effected by a band, placed around
one of them, being kept in contact with both of them, and such speed cones may
be of a conical or conoidal or other form as may be considered preferable. The
belts or bands employed in conjunction with speed cones applied in accordance
with this part of my invention may be traversed or moved lengthwise of the cones
in conjunction with which they are employed either by parts moved by hand or
by parts moved by means of gearing receiving motion from any suitable parts of
the machines in which they are employed or by parts moved by levers or other
devices moved in one direction by the tension of the yarns or threads being operated
upon in such machines and in the other direction by springs or weights or other
means.
My invention consists secondly in the application of friction-driving arrange-
ments, each consisting in a pair of discs or plates respectively mounted upon or
connected to the parts from which and the parts to which motion is to be trans-
mitted and having flannel, leather, felt, cloth or other suitable material placed
between them for transmitting motion between parts of sectional warping and
beaming machines and machines similar to sectional warping and beaming
machines and used in dressing warps in sections, and balling machines, which
require to have their relative angular velocities changed or adjusted from time to

page_text: time. The discs employed according to this part of my invention in a sectional
warping or beaming machine or a machine similar to a sectional warping or beam-
ing machine or balling machine and used in dressing warps in sections are mounted
respectively upon a shaft or part from which motion is to be transmitted and upon
a shaft or part to which motion is to be transmitted from such part aforesaid and
the flannel, leather, cloth, felt or other suitable material to be employed in con-
junction with the said discs or plates may be simply placed between them, or
one or each of such discs may have a piece of flannel, leather, felt, cloth or other
suitable material secured to it by any suitable means. Springs or nuts or other
suitable means may be provided to enable the said discs or plates to be pressed
together as may be necessary or desirable.
This invention consists thirdly in means, simple and more efficient than those
hitherto provided for the purpose whereby yarns or threads being wound into
sections in sectional warping and beaming machines and in machines similar to
sectional warping and beaming machines and used in dressing warps in sections
and yarns or threads being wound into balls in balling machines, may be marked
with marks or indications to indicate the terminations of the successive lengths
into which such yarns or threads may be required to be cut or divided after being
formed into sections or balls or after being woven. The objects of the improve-
ments in which this fourth part of my invention consists are to enable lengths
either of any required number of yards, metres or other measures of length or of
any required number of yards, metres or other measures of length and an additional
fraction of a yard, metre or other measure of length as may be necessary from time
to time to be marked with accuracy upon the yarns or threads being operated upon
in a sectional warping or beaming machine or a machine similar to a sectional
warping or beaming machine and used in dressing warps in sections or in a balling
machine and to enable the changes requisite from time to time in the lengths, the
terminations of which are to be marked upon such yarns or threads to be made
readily and without calculation or with little calculation.
According to this part of my invention, I provide in a sectional warping or
beaming machine.or a machine similar to a sectional warping or beaming machine
and used in dressing warps in sections or a balling machine to which this part of
my invention is to be applied, a train of gearing arranged to receive motion from a
roller, the circumference of which is made equal to or made to bear any other
suitable relation to a yard or metre or other measure of length to be used as a
standard in measuring the yarns or threads to be operated upon in such machine
and provide in such train of gearing a wheel to be used as a change-wheel and also
provide in such train of gearing a bevel-wheel mounted so as to be capable of being
revolved about an axis which is itself capable of being made when required to
revolve about the axes of the wheels with which the said bevel-wheel gears or
engages or any other equivalent form of gearing which will modify by its opera-
tion the angular velocities of the parts to which motion is transmitted through
it when it is made to receive motion from the train of gearing aforesaid by any
suitable means comprising a wheel which may be used as a change-wheel. The
roller above mentioned is caused to receive motion from the yarns or threads being
operated upon in the machine and in conjunction with the train of gearing above
mentioned is arranged a suitable marking hammer or other suitable marking
appliance adapted to be brought into action or allowed to act by the said train of
gearing from time to time and arranged to act when required in a suitable manner
upon the yarns or threads to be operated upon. The train of gearing aforesaid is
arranged so that when the bevel-wheel mounted so as to be capable of being
revolved about an axis which is itself capable of being made when required to
revolve about the axes of the wheels with which the said bevel-wheel gears or
engages or the other equivalent form of gearing aforesaid is made to transmit
motion from one part of the train of gearing aforesaid to another part thereof
without modifying by its operation the angular velocity of the parts to which
motion is transmitted through it, the marking hammer or marking appliance

page_text: aforesaid shall be brought into action or allowed to act at the termination of a
number of revolutions of the roller aforesaid equal or corresponding in any suit-
able manner to the number of teeth in the wheel which is provided to act as a
change-wheel in the train of gearing aforesaid, and preferably the said train of
gearing is so arranged that the number of teeth in the said wheel provided to act
as a change-wheel shall be equal to the number of whole yards, metres or other
measures of length which are required to pass in contact with the roller aforesaid
between one operation of the said marking hammer or marking appliance and the
next. The gearing which is provided for use when required to impart motion to
the axis of the bevel-wheel which is capable of being revolved about an axis which
is itself capable of being revolved about the axes of the wheels with which the said
bevel-wheel gears or engages or the other equivalent form of gearing employed is so
arranged that when the said axis is caused to revolve or the said equivalent form
of gearing is brought into operation to modify by its operation the angular
velocities of the parts to which motion is transmitted through such bevel-wheel or
equivalent form of gearing the roller aforesaid shall make besides the number of
revolutions equal or corresponding in a suitable manner to the number of teeth
in the wheel which is provided to act as a change-wheel in the train of gearing
aforesaid and preferably corresponding to a number of whole yards, metres or
other measures of length of yarns or threads which are required to pass in contact
with the roller aforesaid between one operation of the marking hammer or marking
appliance and the next, a revolution or revolutions or portion or fraction of a revo-
lution corresponding to the portion or fraction of a yard, metre or other measure of
length which it may be requisite to include besides the aforesaid number of whole
yards, metres or other measures of length between one of the marks made upon the
yarns or threads by the aforesaid marking hammer or marking appliance and the
next mark made thereby, the gearing by means of which motion is transmitted to
the wheel or other part on which is mounted the bevel-wheel the axis of which is
capable of being revolved about the axes of the wheels with which such bevel-
wheel gears or engages or the corresponding part of the equivalent form of gear-
ing employed being arranged in a suitable manner and preferably so that the
number of teeth in the wheel which may be used as a change-wheel in the means
employed to transmit motion to the wheel or part on which is mounted the bevel-
wheel the axis of which is capable of being revolved about the axes of the wheels
with which such bevel-wheel gears or engages or the corresponding part of the
equivalent form of gearing employed shall bear some obvious or simple relation
to the portion or fraction of a yard, metre or other measure of length to be included
along with a whole number of yards, metres or other measures of length between
one mark made upon the yarns or threads by the marking hammer or marking
appliance above mentioned and the next mark made thereby. In conjunction with
the mechanism above described which when in operation causes marks to be made
upon the yarns or threads operated upon at the ends of lengths each comprising a
portion or fraction of a yard, metre or other measure of length besides a number of
whole yards, metres or other measures of length, I may provide a stop catch of
any suitable kind which may be employed to hold the said mechanism securely out
of action when marks are to be made upon the yarns or threads operated upon at
the ends of lengths each comprising only a number of whole yards, metres or other
measures of length.
My invention consists fourthly in simple, efficient and convenient means whereby
the yarns or threads being wound into sections in sectional warping and beaming
machines and in machines similar to sectional warping and beaming machines and
used in dressing warps in sections, and yarns or threads being wound into balls in
balling machines may be conditioned, damped or moistened to any extent which
may be desirable from time to time.
According to this part of my invention, I provide in a sectional warping or
beaming machine or a machine similar to a sectional warping or beaming machine
and used in dressing warps in sections or a balling machine to which this part of

page_text: my invention is to be applied a tube supported in any suitable manner and pro-
vided in a suitable part of its length and circumference with a number of holes
and provided with plugs which are furnished with cup-leathers or other suitable
packings by means of which water-tight joints may be made between such plugs
and the interior surface of the said tube and are connected to rods which pass
through blocks or guides secured in the said tube and are adapted to be placed and
secured in different positions either by being slidden and secured in position by
pegs or pins or being formed with screw-threads so that they may be moved longi-
tudinally by being turned or by being arranged in any other suitable manner.
The interior of the said tube is placed in communication with any suitable supply
of water under pressure by means of a pipe provided with a cock or valve to be
used in regulating the pressure at which water shall issue from the perforations in
the said tube and preferably with a cock or valve which shall be opened and closed
according as the handle or lever employed to start and stop the machine in which
the tube aforesaid is employed, is moved to start or moved to stop the machine.
The yarns or threads to be conditioned, damped, or moistened are caused to pass in
contact with the perforated part of the tube aforesaid and the plugs above
mentioned are adjusted into such positions in the said tube that water shall only be
allowed to issue from such of the perforations in the tube as are beneath or opposite
to yarns or threads to be conditioned, damped or moistened and the said tube is
preferably provided with a cock or valve which may be opened in order to enable
the plugs above mentioned to be readily moved into different positions. A trough
is preferably provided beneath the tube above described to receive any water which
may drip therefrom or issue from the cock or valve provided to enable the plugs
to be readily moved into different positions and the said trough is preferably pro-
vided with a pipe to conduct to any suitable place any water which may pass into
such trough.
My invention consists fifthly in improvements in means to be employed in sup-
porting beams or section-blocks of greater than the ordinary width while yarns or
threads are being wound upon them in sectional warping and beaming machines
and machines similar to sectional warping and beaming machines and used
in dressing warps in sections and the principal object of this part of my
invention is the provision of means which shall be efficient in affording adequate
support to the shafts upon which the said beams or section-blocks are mounted and
be capable of being readily moved into and secured in position to support the
shafts upon which beams or section-blocks are mounted and of being readily moved
so as to permit beams or section-blocks to be placed upon or removed from the said
shafts.
According to this part of my invention, I provide in a sectional warping or
beaming machine or a machine similar to a sectional warping and beaming
machine and used in dressing warps in sections a standard or side-frame of any
suitable form. Upon the said standard or side-frame I mount an arm connected
to such standard or side-frame by means of a pivot or hinge or pivots or hinges of
any suitable kind and preferably by being provided with an axle capable of being
oscillated in brackets secured to the said standard or side-frame and provided with
set-screws which may be turned to bear upon the said axle and so secure the arm
aforesaid against being moved and also provided with a stop or stops of any suitable
kind if considered desirable to prevent the said arm from being moved too far in
one or either direction. The said arm is provided with a socket to receive and
support and act as a bearing for the shaft upon which the beams or section-blocks
on to which yarns, or threads are to be wound in the said machine and the said
socket and the portion of the said shaft which is required to enter it are made of a
conical or other analogous form in order that the said arm may be turned to place
the said socket upon or remove it from the said shaft.
My invention consists sixthly in improvements in the arrangement of the rollers
used in sectional warping and beaming machine and machines similar to sectional
warping and beaming machines and used in dressing warps in sections and in

page_text: balling machines for the purpose of drawing off the yarns or threads to be operated
upon from the bobbins or cops or other bodies or forms upon or into which they
may have previously been wound and affording by their revolution a measure of the
length of the yarns or threads operated upon or for either or both of such purposes
with or without also serving for other purposes, and the object of this part of my
invention is to enable large rollers which it is necessary or desirable to employ in
order that the yarns or threads being operated upon may be accurately measured
and especially in cases in which marks are to be made upon such yarns or threads
at the ends of the lengths consisting of whole numbers of yards or metres or other
measures of length and additional portions or fractions of a yard or metre or other
measure of length to be so arranged that such rollers shall not prevent or hinder
the attendants in charge of such machine from being able to see when any of the
yarns or threads being operated upon become broken or terminate or become
entangled or otherwise require attention.
According to this part of my invention, I provide in or in conjunction with a
sectional warping or beaming machine or a machine similar to a sectional warping
or beaming machine and used in dressing warps in sections or a balling machine to
which this part of my invention is to be applied, a pair of rollers, the journals of
which, or one of which, are made capable of revolving and of being raised and
lowered in inclined slots or channels formed in brackets or frames of any suitable
kind. Means of any suitable kind may be provided to cause the upper roller to
bear sufficiently upon the yarns or threads passed between it and the lower roller
and means of any suitable kind may be provided to enable the upper roller to be
raised and held clear of the lower roller as may be necessary or desirable from time
to time.

Improvements in Sectional Warping and Beaming Machines and
Machines similar to Sectional Warping and Beaming Machines
and used in Dressing Warps in Sections, and Balling Machines for
use in the Formation of Balled Warps from Yarns or Threads and
the Winding into Balls of Yarns or Threads in the Form of Warps
or other analogous Forms.
I, JOHN HOWARD STOTT, of Wardleworth Iron Works, Whitworth Road, Roch-
dale, 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: -
My invention consists in improvements in sectional warping and beaming
machines and machines similar to sectional warping and beaming machines and
used in dressing warps in sections and balling machines for use in the formation
of balled warps from yarns or threads and the winding into balls of yarns or
threads in the form of warps or other analogous forms.
My invention consists firstly in the application of tapering speed-cones for trans
mitting motion between parts of sectional warping or beaming machines and
machines similar to sectional warping or beaming machines and used in dressing
warps in sections and balling machines which require to have their relative angular
velocities changed or adjusted from time to time. The tapering speed-cones

page_text: applied in a sectional warping or beaming machine or a machine similar to a
sectional warping or beaming machine or balling machine according to this part
of my invention may be surrounded by open or crossed belts or the transmission of
motion from one speed cone to another may be effected by a band, placed around
one of them, being kept in contact with both of them, and such speed cones may be
of a conical or conoidal or other form as may be considered preferable. The belts
or bands employed in conjunction with speed-cones applied in accordance with this
part of my invention may be traversed or moved lengthwise of the cones in con-
junction with which they are employed either by parts moved by hand or by parts
moved by means of gearing receiving motion from any suitable parts of the
machines in which they are employed or by parts moved by levers or other devices
moved in one direction by the tension of the yarns or threads being operated upon
in such machines and in the other direction by springs or weights or other means.
This part of my invention and the manner in which it may be carried into effect
are illustrated in Figs. 1, 2, 3 and 4 of the accompanying drawings. Fig. 1 also
serving for the illustration of a further part of my invention to be hereinafter
mentioned.
Fig. 1 is a side elevation and Fig. 2 is a plan partly in section illustrating so
much of the mechanism by which the yarns or threads to be formed into balls in
a balling machine for use in the formation of balled warps from yarns or threads
and the winding into balls of yarns or threads in the form of warps or other
analogous forms are unwound from the beams, bobbins or other forms in or upon
which they may have previously been wound as is requisite for the illustration of
the application of one form of this part of my invention in the transmission of
motion in the said balling machine from the mechanism for unwinding yarns or
threads to the part of the balling machine by which they are wound into balls.
(51) (52) are rollers which will be hereinafter further referred to in reference to a
further part of my invention and are mounted in pedestals of which though one
only is shown in the drawings and in Fig. 1 thereof there are two, one upon each
of the side-frames (58) of the part of the machine which is illustrated in Figs. 1
and 2.
The yarns or threads intended to be operated upon are led from the beams,
bobbins or other body or bodies or form or forms upon or into which they may
have previously been wound to the rollers (51) (52) and passed over and partially
around and beneath the roller (52) between such roller (52) and the roller (51) and
over, partially around and beneath the roller (51). A pulley (53) is mounted
fast upon the axle of the roller (51) and when the machine is in operation is caused
to revolve by means of a belt placed upon it, and a loose pulley is also provided
upon the axle of the said roller (51). Upon the axle of the roller (51) is also
mounted a pulley (54) which by means of a belt (55) imparts motion to a pulley (56)
mounted fast upon a shaft (57) which is capable of being revolved in bearings
formed in the side-frames (58) and is provided with a speed-cone (59). A belt (60)
is passed around the speed-cone (59) and around a speed-cone (61) mounted fast upon
a shaft (62) which is capable of being revolved in bearings formed in brackets
secured upon the side-frames (58) and has mounted fast upon it a pulley (63) which
by means of a belt (64) transmits motion to the part of the balling machine which
winds the yarns or threads operated upon into balls. The belt (60) is embraced by
the fingers of a belt-fork (65) which is secured upon a bar (65) provided with a
rack into which gears a toothed sector (66) mounted fast upon a vertical shaft (66)
capable of being oscillated but prevented from being moved vertically in brackets
secured upon cross-frames secured to the side-frames (58). The bar (65") is capable
of being slidden longitudinally in bearings formed in the side-frames (58). Fast
upon the shaft (66) is mounted a bevel wheel (67) which gears into a bevel
wheel (68) mounted fast upon a shaft (69) capable of being oscillated in bearings
formed in brackets secured upon the side-frame (58). Fast upon the shaft (69)
are mounted arms (70) provided with bearings in which the axle of the roller (71)
is capable of being revolved. From the roller (51) the yarns or threads to be
operated upon are led under a roller (72) and over a roller (73) and then under the

page_text: roller (71). The rollers (72) (73) are provided with axles capable of being revolved
in bearings provided in standards secured in the side-frames (58) but as the
rollers (72) (73) and the standards by which they are supported are similar to
other rollers employed in machines already in use for forming warps and yarns
or threads in the form of warps or other analogous forms into balls further descrip-
tion of the rollers (72) (73) is unnecessary and the illustration of the standards
supporting the rollers (72) (73) is also unnecessary. From the roller (71) the
yarns or threads being operated upon are led through or over any suitable guides
which may be similar to those employed in machines already in use, to the part of
the machine by which they are formed into balls. Any variations which may
occur in the tension of the yarns or threads passing beneath the roller (71) while
the machine is in operation will cause the roller (71) to rise or allow it to descend
according as the tension increases or decreases and by so doing will cause the
belt (60) to be moved upon the cones (59) (61) so as to vary the angular velocity
of the cone (61) in relation to that of the cone (59) and so vary the speed of the
belt (64) and so adjust the speed of the part of the machine by which the yarns
or threads operated upon are formed into balls to the speed at which yarns or threads
are delivered by the rollers (51) (52) and so preserve an approximately uniform
tension of such yarns or threads. The yarns or threads passing from the roller (51)
to the roller (72) are shown in Fig. 1 as being caused to be passed over a damping
device which is indicated only in part and is described hereinafter in reference to
a further part of my invention but so far as this part of my invention is concerned
may be dispensed with. Instead of the belt (64) a shaft or bevel wheel or any
other suitable mechanism, may be employed to transmit motion from the speed-
cone (61) to the part of the machine which is to receive motion therefrom.
Figs. 3 and 4 are respectively a side elevation partly in section and an incomplete
plan illustrating cones (59) (61) similar to those illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2 but
employed in conjunction with an endless band (74) placed around one of such cones,
that is to say preferably around the speed cone (59) and in contact with both of
them. Except in so far as the band (74) is employed and the bar (65) carrying
the belt-fork (65) employed to move such band (74) upon the cones is placed
approximately parallel to the adjacent parts of the surfaces of the cones (59) (61).
the mechanism employed with the arrangement illustrated in Figs. 3 and 4 is
similar to that of the mechanism illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2 and so needs no further
description.
The description hereinbefore given of the application of this part of my inven-
tion to balling machines for forming balled warps from yarns or threads and
forming yarns or threads in the form of warps or portions of warps into balls is
sufficient to enable the application of this part of my invention to the other
machines to which it is applicable to be readily accomplished.
The employment of speed-cones according to this part of my invention enables
the requisite variations in the relative angular velocities of parts of the machines
to which this part of my invention is applicable to be readily provided for.
My invention consists secondly in the application of friction driving arrange-
ments, each consisting in a pair of discs or plates respectively mounted upon or
connected to the parts from which and the parts to which motion is to be trans-
mitted and having flannel, leather, felt, cloth or other analogous material placed
between them for transmitting motion between parts of sectional warping and
beaming machines and machines similar to sectional warping and beaming
machines and used in dressing warps in sections, and balling machines, which
require to have their relative angular velocities changed or adjusted from time to
time. The discs employed according to this part of my invention in a sectional
warping or beaming machine or a machine similar to a sectional warping or beam-
ing machine and used in dressing warps in sections or balling machine are
mounted respectively upon a shaft or part from which motion is to be transmitted
and upon a shaft or part to which motion is to be transmitted from such part afore-

page_text: said and the flannel, leather, cloth, felt or other analogous material to be employed
in conjunction with the said dises or plates may be simply placed between them, or
one or each of such discs or plates may have a piece of flannel, leather, felt, cloth
or other analogous material secured to it by any suitable means. Springs or nuts
or other suitable means may be provided to enable the said discs or plates to be
pressed together as may be necessary or desirable.
Fig. 5 is a side elevation in part a transverse section and Fig. 6 is a section in
part a side elevation at right angles to Fig. 5 of discs or plates employed according
to this part of my invention. (75) and (76) are shafts connected respectively to
the parts which require to have their relative angular velocities changed or
adjusted from time to time and (77) (78) are the discs or plates provided upon such
shafts (75) (76) respectively in accordance with this part of my invention. Each
of the discs or plates (77) (78) is shown as formed in one with the shaft upon
which it is provided, but obviously might be secured thereon in any suitable
manner. Upon each of the shafts (75) (76) is mounted a flange (79) capable of
being revolved thereon Each flange (79) is provided with a recess to receive
the disc or plate (77) or (78) upon the shaft upon which such flange (79) is
mounted. A circular piece or circular pieces (80) of flannel, leather, felt, cloth or
other analogous material is or are placed between the discs or plates (77) (78),
one piece of flannel, leather, felt, cloth or other material being preferably secured
upon one or each of such discs or plates. Circular pieces (81) of flannel, leather,
felt, cloth or other analogous material provided with central openings, and if
necessary with radial or other slots in order that they may be passed on to the
shafts (75) (76) are placed between the discs or plates (77) (78) and the adjacent
flanges (79). The flanges (79) are provided with holes through which are passed
bolts (82) provided with nuts (82) between which and the adjacent flange (79)
springs (83) surrounding the bolts (82) are placed. The nuts (82) enable the pres-
sure exerted by the springs (83) upon the adjacent flange (79) to be adjusted and
the lock nuts employed with such nuts (82) enable them to be secured in position
when adjusted upon the bolts. The springs (83) press the one flange (79) towards
the other and each flange (79) against the disc or plate (77) or (78) with which it is
used and the two discs or plates (78) (79) towards each other. Screws (82b) screwed
in one flange (79) and bearing against the other afford a further means of regu-
lating the extent to which the discs or plates (78) (79) are pressed towards each
other. The discs or plates (78) (79) enable motion to be transmitted from the one
shaft (75) or (76) to the other while also allowing the relative angular velocities
of such shafts to vary as may be requisite from time to time for the proper working
of the machines to which this part of my invention is applied. It is obvious that
without departure from the principles of this part of my invention the means for
pressing the discs or plates (77) (78) towards each other may be different in
different cases.
This invention consists thirdly in means, simple and more efficient than those
hitherto provided for the purpose whereby yarns or threads being wound into
sections in sectional warping and beaming machines and in machines similar to
sectional warping and beaming machines and used in dressing warps in sections
and yarns or threads being wound into balls in balling machines, may be marked
with marks or indications to indicate the terminations of the successive lengths
into which such yarns or threads may be required to be cut or divided after being
formed into sections or balls or after being woven. The objects of the improve-
ments in which this third part of my invention consists are to enable lengths
either of any required number of yards, metres or other measures of length or of
any required number of yards, metres or other measures of length and an additional
fraction of a yard, metre or other measure of length as may be necessary from time
to time to be marked with accuracy upon the yarns or threads being operated upon
in a sectional warping or beaming machine or a machine similar to a sectional
warping or beaming machine and used in dressing wraps in sections or in a balling
machine and to enable the changes requisite from time to time in the lengths,

page_text: the terminations of which are to be marked upon such yarns or threads to be made
readily and without calculation or with little calculation.
According to this part of my invention, I provide in a sectional warping or
beaming machine or a machine similar to a sectional warping or beaming machine
and used in dressing warps in sections or a balling machine to which this part of
my invention is to be applied, a train of gearing arranged to receive motion from a
roller the circumference of which is made equal to or made to bear any other
suitable relation to a yard or metre or other measure of length to be used as a
standard in measuring the yarns or threads to be operated upon in such machine
and provide in such train of gearing a wheel to be used as a change-wheel and also
provide in such train of gearing a bevel-wheel mounted so as to be capable of
being revolved about an axis which is itself capable of being made when required
to revolve about the axes of the wheels with which the said bevel-wheel gears or
engages or any other equivalent form of gearing which will modify by its opera-
tion the angular velocities of the parts to which motion is transmitted through it
when it is made to receive motion from the train of gearing aforesaid by any suit-
able means comprising a wheel which may be used as a change-wheel. The roller
above mentioned is caused to receive motion from the yarns or threads being
operated upon in the machine and in conjunction with the train of gearing above-
mentioned is arranged a suitable marking hammer or other suitable marking
appliance adapted to be brought into action or allowed to act by the said train of
gearing from time to time and arranged to act when required in a suitable manner
upon the yarns or threads to be operated upon. The train of gearing aforesaid is
arranged so that when the bevel-wheel mounted so as to be capable of being
revolved about an axis which is itself capable of being made when required to
revolve about the axes of the wheels with which the said bevel-wheel gears or
engages or the other equivalent form of gearing aforesaid is made to transmit
motion from one part of the train of gearing aforesaid to another part thereof with-
out modifying by its operation the angular velocity of the parts to which motion
is transmitted through it, the marking hammer or marking appliance aforesaid
shall be brought into action or allowed to act at the termination of a number of
revolutions of the roller aforesaid equal or corresponding in any suitable manner
to the number of teeth in the wheel which is provided to act as a change-wheel
in the train of gearing aforesaid, and preferably the said train of gearing is so
arranged that the number of teeth in the said wheel provided to act as a change-
wheel shall be equal to the number of whole yards, metres or other measures of
length which are required to pass in contact with the roller aforesaid between one
operation of the said marking hammer or marking appliance and the next. The
gearing which is provided for use when required to impart motion to the axis of
the bevel-wheel which is capable of being revolved about an axis which is itself
capable of being revolved about the axes of the wheel with which the said bevel-
wheel gears or engages or the other equivalent form of gearing employed is so
arranged that when the said axis is caused to revolve or the said equivalent form of
gearing is brought into operation to modify by its operation the angular velocities
of the parts to which motion is transmitted through such bevel-wheel or equivalent
form of gearing the roller aforesaid shall make besides the number of revolutions
equal or corresponding in a suitable manner to the number of teeth in the wheel
which is provided to act as a change-wheel in the train of gearing aforesaid and
preferably corresponding to a number of whole yards, metres or other measures
of length, of yarns or threads which are required to pass in contact with the roller
aforesaid between one operation of the marking hammer or marking appliance and
the next, a revolution or revolutions or portion or fraction of a revolu-
or other
tion corresponding to the portion or fraction of a yard, metre
measure of length which it may be requisite to include besides the aforesaid number
of whole yards metres or other measures of length between one of the marks made
upon the yarns or threads by the aforesaid marking hammer or marking appliance
and the next made thereby, the gearing by means of which motion is transmitted

page_text: to the wheel or other part on which is mounted the bevel wheel the axis of which
is capable of being revolved about the axes of the wheels with which such bevel-
wheel gears or engages or the corresponding part of the equivalent form of gearing
employed being arranged in a suitable manner and preferably so that the number
of teeth in the wheel which may be used as a change-wheel in the means employed
to transmit motion to the wheel or part on which is mounted the bevel-wheel the
axis of which is capable of being revolved about the axes of the wheels with which
such bevel-wheel gears or engages or the corresponding part of the equivalent form
of gearing employed shall bear some obvious or simple relation to the portion or
fraction of a yard, metre or other measure of length to be included along with a
whole number of yards, metres or other measures of length between, one mark
made upon the yarns or threads by the marking hammer or marking appliance
above mentioned and the next mark made thereby. In conjunction with the
mechanism above described which when in operation causes marks to be made upon
the yarns or threads operated upon at the ends of lengths each comprising a
portion or fraction of a yard, metre or other measure of length besides a number of
whole yards, metres or other measures of length, I may provide a stop or catch of
any suitable kind which may be employed to hold the said mechanism securely out
of action when marks are to be made upon the yarns or threads operated upon at
the ends of lengths each comprising only a number of whole yards, metres or
other measures of length.
Fig. 7 is a side elevation and Fig. 8 a front elevation, partly a transverse section,
illustrating the mechanism which is applied to a sectional warping and beaming
machine, or a machine similar to a sectional warping and beaming machine and
used in dressing warps in sections or a balling machine according to this part of
my invention. In Fig. 7 (a) (b) (c) are rollers employed to draw off the yarns or
threads to be operated upon from the bobbins, sections or beams or other objects or
forms upon or into which they may have been previously wound. The said yarns
or threads are passed beneath the roller (a) between such roller (a) and the
roller (b), over the roller (b) and between the roller (b) and the roller (c), and
beneath the roller (c). The axle of the roller (a) is mounted and capable of being
revolved in bearings provided in pedestals (1) provided upon side-frames (d),
Figs. 7 and 8 show only one pedestal (d) and only a part of one side-frame (d).
The axle of the roller (c) is also capable of being revolved in bearings formed in
the pedestals (¹) and the axle of the roller (b) is capable of being revolved and
capable of being raised and lowered in slots in the pedestals (d) like similar rollers
employed in sectional warping machines and other machines already in use, so that
the rollers (a) (b) (c) may be caused to release or grip the yarns or threads being
operated upon as may be necessary from time to time. From the roller (c), which
is caused to revolve by any suitable means and so cause the yarns or threads which
are to be operated upon to be unwound from the beams, bobbins, sections or other
bodies or forms upon or into which they may have previously been wound, the
said yarns or threads are led in a horizontal direction towards the parts by which
they are to be further operated upon and some of them are caused to pass beneath
a marking hammer (13) which will be hereinafter further referred to. Fast upon
the axle of the roller (a) is mounted a skew-bevel wheel (s) gearing into another
skew-bevel wheel (t) of equal size mounted fast upon a shaft (t¹) which is capable
of being revolved in bearings formed in brackets secured upon the side-frame (d)
part of which is illustrated in Figs. 7 and 8 and which will hereinafter for con-
venience be referred to as the side-frame (/). Fast upon the shaft (¹) is mounted
a bevel wheel (u) which gears into a bevel wheel (v) mounted fast upon a short
shaft (1) capable of being revolved but incapable of being moved endwise in bear-
ings formed in brackets secured to the side-frame (d). Fast upon the shaft (v) is
mounted a bevel wheel (w) which gears into a bevel wheel (a) mounted and capable
of being revolved upon a stud secured in a bracket secured upon a toothed wheel (y)
capable of being revolved upon or of having revolved in it the short shaft (v1).
The bevel wheel (r) gears into a bevel wheel (2) equal in size to the bevel wheel (w)

page_text: and mounted fast upon a shaft (1) capable of being revolved in bearings formed in
brackets secured upon the said side-frame (d). Fast upon the shaft (1) is mounted
a worm (2) which gears into a worm-wheel (3) mounted fast upon a shaft (4)
which is capable of being revolved in bearings formed in the said side-frame (d)
and has mounted fast upon it a toothed wheel (5) into which gears a toothed
wheel (6) capable of being revolved upon a stud secured in an arm (7) which is
capable of being oscillated about a bearing formed on the said side-frame (d)
around the shaft (4) and capable of being secured in different positions by means
of a wing-nut screwed upon a stud which is secured in the said side-frame (d) and
passes through a slot formed in the arm (7). The toothed wheel (6) which acts as
a carrier-wheel gears into a toothed wheel or change-wheel (8) mounted upon a
shaft (9) so as to be capable of imparting motion thereto while being readily
removable therefrom so as to be capable of being replaced by another change-
wheel. The shaft (9) is capable of being revolved in bearings formed in the side-
frames (d) and is provided with a spiral cam (10) on which bears the lower end of
a rod (11) capable of being slidden vertically in a guide (12) secured to the said
side-frame (d). In jaws upon the rod (11) is secured a stud which forms the pivot
of a lever (13) which at one end bears the marking hammer (13) and at the other
end balance weights (13b), which are only shown in Fig. 8. Upon the said side-
frame (d) is secured a bracket to which is secured a stop (13°) which is provided
with arms embracing and serving to guide the lever (13). The weighted arm of
the lever (13) ordinarily rests upon the stop (13) but when the cam (10) allows
the rod (11) to descend the shock of its descent causes the weights (13b) to rise and
cause the marking hammer (13) to strike the yarns or threads beneath it into
contact with a pad (14) charged with any suitable marking material and then the
weights (13) raise the marking hammer clear of the said yarns or threads. The
pad (14) is supported in a tray carried by a cross-rail secured to the side-frames (d).
The guide (12) is provided with a ring of indiarubber which forms a buffer for the
shoulders at the upper part of the rod (11) to strike against when the cam (10)
allows such rod (11) to drop. Fast upon the shaft (9) is mounted a bevel wheel (15)
which gears into a bevel wheel (16) of equal size mounted fast upon a shaft (17)
capable of being revolved but prevented from being moved endwise in bearings
formed in brackets secured upon the said side-frame (d). The shaft (17) is pro-
vided with a toothed wheel (18) arranged to receive motion therefrom but also
to be capable of being readily removed and replaced by another toothed wheel or
change-wheel. The toothed wheel or change-wheel (18) is made to gear into a
carrier-wheel (19) capable of being made to gear into or be removed out of gear
with the toothed wheel (y) and capable of being revolved upon a stud secured in an
arm (20) capable of being turned about a bearing formed around the shaft (vl) on
the bracket in which such shaft (1) is mounted and capable of being secured in
different positions by means of a wing-nut screwed upon a stud which is secured in
a bracket upon the said side-frame (d) and passes through a slot formed in the
arm (20). A catch or lock (21), capable of being secured in position by a wing-
nut (21) and mounted upon the stud which passes through the slot in the arm (20)
is provided to engage when required with the bracket in which the stud carrying
the bevel wheel (r) is mounted and prevent the toothed wheel (y) from being
revolved when such toothed wheel (y) is required to remain stationary at which
times the arm (20) is moved into such position that the carrier-wheel (19) is out
of gear with the change-wheel (18). When the toothed wheel (y) is prevented
from revolving each revolution of the roller (a) will as is obvious from the pre-
ceding description cause one revolution of the worm (2) and cause the shaft (4) to
revolve through an angular distance corresponding to one tooth of the worm-
wheel (3) and the toothed wheel (5) having one half as many teeth as the worm-
wheel (3) it follows that in order to turn the shaft (9) through one revolution the
roller (a) will make twice as many revolutions as there are teeth in the wheel (8)
and so between one descent of the rod (11) and the next descent thereof the
rollers (a) (b) (c) will draw off from the hobbins, sections, beams or other objects

page_text: or forms upon or into which they have previously been wound yarns or threads
each equal in length to as many times twice the circumference of the roller (a) as
there are teeth in the wheel (8), so that if the circumference of the roller (a) be
one half of any measure of length such as a yard or metre, the marks made by
successive descents of the rod (11) will divide the yarns or threads operated upon
into lengths of as many times such measure of length as there are teeth in the
wheel (8) and so by such wheel (8) being changed from time to time as may be
desirable any required lengths may be indicated upon the yarns or threads operated
upon. When the catch or lock (21) is moved out of engagement with the bracket
upon the toothed wheel (y) and the carrier-wheel (19) is placed in gear with the
change-wheel (18) the bevel wheel (e) will be carried around the axis of the short
shaft (¹) in a direction opposite to that in which such shaft (¹) is made to revolve
and thus deduct from the angular movement which would be transmitted to the
bevel wheel (z) were the toothed wheel (y) stationary an amount equal to twice
the angular movement imparted to the toothed wheel (y) and thus as the shaft (17)
revolves at the same speed as the shaft (9) the roller (a) will when the toothed
wheel (y) is made to receive motion from the change-wheel (18) make
between one descent of the rod (11) and the next descent thereof
besides twice as many revolutions as there are teeth in the wheel (8)
such proportion of two revolutions as is expressed by the ratio between
the number of teeth in the change-wheel (18) and the number of teeth in the
wheel (y). Thus by the employment of a change-wheel (18) bearing the requisite
proportion to the wheel (y) any required fraction of a measure of length equal to
twice the circumference of the roller (a) may be added to the number of such
measures of length corresponding to the number of teeth in the wheel (8) and
contained in the length of yarns or threads passing the roller (a) between one
descent of the rod (11) and the next descent thereof.
Although it is preferable that the number of teeth in the wheel (8) shall indicate
the number of whole measures of length of the yarns or threads being operated.
upon which intervene between the successive marks made by the hammer (13) and
that the relation between the number of the teeth in the wheel (18) and the
number of the teeth in the wheel (y) shall directly express the fraction or portion
of a measure added to such whole number of measures of length so that no calcu-
lation is needed in the preparation of the machine for indicating different lengths
upon the yarns or threads operated upon, it is obvious that in cases in which it is
preferred to employ rollers (a) which are not equal in circumference to one half
of the measure of length to be employed as a standard the gearing employed may
be arranged so that very few and very simple calculations are needed. It is
also obvious that by the toothed wheels employed being suitably proportioned a
roller (a) having a circumference equal to twice a whole measure of length may
be employed instead of a roller having a circumference equal to half a measure of
length. Instead of the wheel (y) and wheels (w) (x) (2) any other equivalent
arrangement of gearing may be employed.
The shaft (9) is provided with a brake-drum (9) upon which bears a brake-
strap (9) which is connected to a stud (9°) secured in the said side-frame (d) and
is provided with a weight (9). The brake-strap (9b) tending to restrain the
revolution of the shaft (9) prevents the rod (11) from being too soon allowed to
drop from the larger part of the cam (10) should there be any slackness in the
gearing.
The arrangements provided in accordance with this part of my invention
enable lengths either of any required number of yards, metres or other measures of
length, or of any required number of yards, metres or other measures of length
and an additional fraction of a yard, metre or other measure of length as may be
necessary from time to time to be marked with accuracy upon the yarns or threads
being operated upon in a sectional warping or beaming machine or a machine
similar to a sectional warping or beaming machine and used in dressing warps in
sections or in a balling machine, and enable the changes requisite from time to

page_text: time in the lengths, the terminations of which are to be marked upon such yarns
or threads to be made readily and without calculation or with little calculation.
My invention consists fourthly in simple, efficient and convenient means whereby.
the yarns or threads being wound into sections in sectional warping and beaming
machines and in machines similar to sectional warping and beaming
machines and used in dressing warps in sections, and yarns or threads being.wound
into balls in balling machines may be conditioned damped or moistened to any
extent which may be desirable from time to time.
According to this part of my invention, I provide in a sectional warping or
beaming machine or a machine similar to a sectional warping or beaming machine
and used in dressing warps in sections or a balling machine to which this part of
my invention is to be applied a tube supported in any suitable manner and pro-
vided in a suitable part of its length and circumference with a number of holes and
provided with plugs which are furnished with cup-leathers or other suitable pack-
ings by means of which water-tight joints may be made between such plugs and
the interior surface of the said tube and are connected to rods which pass through
blocks or guides secured in the said tube and are adapted to be placed and secured
in different positions either by being slidden and secured in position by pegs or
pins or being formed with screw-threads so that they may be moved longitudinally
by being turned or by being arranged in any other suitable manner. The interior
of the said tube is placed in communication with any suitable supply of water
under pressure by means of a pipe provided with a cock or valve to be used in
regulating the pressure at which water shall issue from the perforations in the
said tube and preferably with a cock or valve which shall be opened and closed
according as the handle or lever employed to start and stop the machine in which
the tube aforesaid is employed, is moved to start or moved to stop the machine.
The yarns or threads to be conditioned, damped or moistened are caused to pass in
contact with the perforated part of the tube aforesaid and the plugs above
mentioned are adjusted into such positions in the said tube that water shall only
be allowed to issue from such of the perforations in the tube as are beneath or
opposite to yarns or threads to be conditioned, damped or moistened and the said
tube is preferably provided with a cock, or valve which may be opened in order
to enable the plugs above mentioned to be readily moved into different positions.
A trough is preferably provided beneath the tube above described to receive any
water which may drip therefrom or issue from the cock or valve provided to enable
the plugs to be readily moved into different positions and the said trough is pre-
ferably provided with a pipe to conduct to any suitable place any water which may
pass into such trough.
Fig. 9 is a front elevation and Fig. 10 is a side elevation of so much of a balling
machine as is requisite for the illustration of this part of my invention and the
manner in which it may be carried into effect, and Fig. 11 is in part a plan and in
part a horizontal section of the tube and some of the other parts employed in
accordance with this part of my invention.
In Figs. 9 and 10, (a) (b) (c) are rollers similar to the rollers (a) (b) (c) shown
in Fig. 7.
From the roller (c) shown in Figs. 9 and 10 the yarns or threads being operated
upon pass over a tube (g) fixed by means of set screws in brackets (91)-secured upon
cross-rails (92) secured at their ends to the side-frames (d) of the part of the machine
which is illustrated in Figs. 9 and 10. In the tube (g) there are formed in the part
with which the yarns or threads passing over such tube (g) are in contact a number
of holes of as small a size as can conveniently be made, for instance of a diameter
of one thirty-second of an inch.. The said holes may conveniently be formed about
one half inch apart. In the ends of the tube (9) are secured blocks or guides (g³)
through which are passed rods (g') capable of being secured in different positions
therein as may be necessary from time to time by means of pins passed through
holes in the blocks (93) and holes in the rods (9). Each of the rods (g) is provided
at the end which is within the tube (9) with a piston (95) provided with a cup-

page_text: leather secured to the said piston and rod and bearing against the interior surface
of the tube (9) so that when water under pressure is supplied to the interior of the
tube the cup-leathers will make tight joints with the interior of the tube (g) and
prevent water from escaping from the ends of such tube (g). To the tube (g) at
or near its central portion is connected a pipe (22) provided with a cock (25) so
connected to the rod (24) by which the handle (24") by means of
which the machine is stopped and started is connected to the strap-fork employed
in the machine that when the handle (24") is moved so as to place the belt
which transmits motion to the operative parts of such machine upon the fast pulley
used therewith and cause the machine to commence operating, the cock (25) will
be opened and when the said handle (24) is moved to place the said belt upon the
loose pulley so that the machine is caused to cease operating the said cock (25)
will be closed. The pipe (22) is placed in connection with any suitable supply of
water under a suitable pressure and when the cock (25) is opened, water passing
through the pipe (22) will enter the tube (9) and issuing from the holes therein
will moisten or condition the yarns or threads passing over the said tube (9). The
pipe (22) is also provided with a cock (27) capable of being turned by hand in
order to regulate the admission of water to the tube (g) and so regulate the pressure
at which water may issue from the holes in the said tube (g). By the rods (9) being
moved into different positions the pistons (95) and the cup-leathers thereon may be
placed in different positions in the tube (9) as may be requisite or desirable from
time to time to prevent water from issuing from such of the holes in the tube (g)
as may not be beneath yarns or threads when the yarns or threads being operated
upon do not cover the whole extent of the perforated portion of the tube (g). In
order to render it easier to move the rods (g) the tube (9) is provided with a
cock (26) ordinarily kept closed but capable of being opened to allow water to issue
from or air to enter the tube (g) when the rods (94) are to be moved. Beneath
the tube (g) is placed a trough (29) to receive any water which may drip from the
tube (g) or issue from the cock (26) and the trough (29) is provided with a pipe (29)
to conduct to any convenient place any water which may fall into such trough (29).
The arrangements provided according to this part of my invention enable the
yarns or threads being wound into sections in sectional warping and beaming
machines and in machines similar to sectional warping and beaming machines
and used in dressing warps in sections, and yarns or threads being wound into balls
in balling machines to be readily conditioned, damped or moistened to any extent
which may be desirable from time to time.
My invention consists fifthly in improvements in means to be employed in
supporting beams or section-blocks of greater than the ordinary width while yarns
or threads are being wound upon them in sectional warping and beaming machines
and machines similar to sectional warping and beaming machines and used in
dressing warps in sections and the principal object of this part of my invention is
the provision of means which shall be efficient in affording adequate support to the
shafts upon which the said beams or section-blocks are mounted and be capable of
being readily moved into and secured in position to support the shafts upon which
beams or section-blocks are mounted and of being readily moved so as to permit
beams or section-blocks to be placed upon or removed from the said shafts.
According to this part of my invention, I provide in a sectional warping or
beaming machine or a machine similar to a sectional warping and beaming machine
and used in dressing warps in sections a standard or side-frame of any suitable
form. Upon the said standard or side-frame I mount an arm connected to such
standard or side-frame by means of a pivot or hinge or pivots or hinges of any
suitable kind and preferably by being provided with an axle capable of being
oscillated in brackets secured to the said standard or side-frame and provided with
set-screws which may be turned to bear upon the said axle and so secure the arm
aforesaid against being moved and also provided with a stop or stops of any suitable
kind if considered desirable to prevent the said arm from being moved too far in
one or either direction. The said arm is provided with a socket to receive and

page_text: support and act as a bearing for the shaft upon which the beams or section-blocks
on to which yarns or threads are to be wound in the said machine are placed and
the said socket and the portion of the said shaft which is required to enter it are
made of a conical or other analogous form in order that the said arm may be turned
to place the said socket upon or remove it from the said shaft.
Fig. 12 is a side elevation and Fig. 13 is a plan of so much of a sectional warp-
ing or beaming machine or a machine similar to a sectional warping or beaming
machine and used in dressing warps in sections as is necessary for the illustration of
this part of my invention and one manner in which it may be carried into effect.
In Figs. 12 and 13, (84) is the shaft upon which are mounted the beams or section-
blocks on which the yarns or threads to be operated upon are to be wound, (85) is
the standard or side-frame provided in accordance with this part of my invention
and (86) is the arm which in accordance with this part of my invention is mounted
upon the standard or side-frame (85). The standard or side-frame (85) is con-
nected to the other parts of the framework of the machine by means of cross-
bars (87) of which only one is indicated in the accompanying drawings and that
only in Fig. 13. The arm (86) is connected to the standard or side-frame (85) by
means of an axle (88) capable of being oscillated in brackets (89) secured to the
said standard or side-frame (85) and provided with set-screws (90) which may be
turned to bear upon the axle (88) and so secure the arm (86) against being moved.
The arm (86) is provided with a socket (86") to receive and support and act as a
bearing for the shaft (84) and the socket (86) and the portion of the shaft (84)
which is required to enter it are made of a conical or other analogous form in order
that the said arm may be turned to place the said socket (86") upon or remove it
from the said shaft (84).
Fig. 14 is a side elevation and Fig. 15 is a plan illustrating another arrangement
of this part of my invention and like Figs. 12 and 13, Figs. 14 and 15 show so
much of a sectional warping or beaming machine or a machine similar to a
sectional warping or beaming machine and used in dressing warps in sections as
is requisite for the illustration of this part of my invention and one manner in
which it may be carried into effect. In Figs. 14 and 15 the same letters of refer-
ence as are employed in Figs. 12 and 13 are employed to indicate parts which corre-
spond to parts shown in Figs. 12 and 13 and which will not be described further
except in so far as may be necessary for the description of the parts which differ
from those shown in Figs. 12 and 13. The arm (86) illustrated in Figs. 14 and 15
is provided with an axle formed in one with it and made in part cylindrical in
form and in part square, so that by being moved in the direction of its axis in one
direction or the opposite direction in a socket of corresponding form formed in a
bracket (91) secured upon the standard or side-frame (85) it may either be moved
into position so that it may be turned or be moved into a position in which it will
be secured against being turned and thus be capable of being made to support or
release the shaft (84) as may be requisite from time to time. The arm (91) is
provided with an arm (91º) to the upper end of which a pad of leather is secured
by wooden pegs. The arm (91") serves to support the arm (86) when it is turned
away from the shaft (84) to allow beams or section-blocks to be placed upon or
removed from such shaft (84).
The arrangements provided in accordance with this part of my invention are
efficient in affording adequate support to the shafts upon which the beams or
section-blocks are mounted in the machines to which this part of my invention
relates and are also capable of being readily moved into and secured in position to
support the shafts upon which beams or section-blocks are mounted and of being
readily moved so as to permit beams or section-blocks to be placed upon or removed
from the said shafts.
My invention consists sixthly in improvements in the arrangement of the rollers
used in sectional warping and beaming machines and machines similar to sectional
warping and beaming machines and used in dressing warps in sections and in
balling machines for the purpose of drawing off the yarn's or threads to be operated

page_text: upon from the bobbins or cops or other bodies or forms upon or into which they
may have previously been wound and affording by their revolution a measure of
the length of the yarns or threads operated upon or for either or both of such
purposes with or without also serving for other purposes, and the object of this
part of my invention is to enable large rollers which it is necessary or desirable to
employ in order that the yarns or threads being operated upon may be accurately
measured and especially in cases in which marks are to be made upon such yarns
or threads at the ends of the lengths consisting of whole numbers or yards or
metres or other measures of length and additional portions or fractions of a yard
or metre or other measure of length to be so arranged that such rollers shall not
prevent or hinder the attendants in charge of such machines from being able to
see when any of the yarns or threads being operated upon become broken or termi-
nate or become entangled or otherwise require attention.
According to this part of my invention, I provide in or in conjunction with a
sectional warping or beaming machine or a machine similar to a sectional warping
or beaming machine and used in dressing warps in section's or a balling machine to
which this part of my invention is to be applied a pair of rollers the journals of
which or one of which are made capable of being raised and lowered and of revolv-
ing in inclined slots or channels formed in brackets or frames of any suitable kind.
Means of any suitable kind may be provided to cause the upper roller to bear suffi-
ciently upon the yarns or threads passed between it and the lower roller and means
of any suitable kind may be provided to enable the upper roller to be raised and
held clear of the lower roller as may be necessary or desirable from time to time.
This part of my invention and the manner in which it may be carried into effect
are illustrated by Fig. 1 of the accompanying drawings which has hereinbefore
been referred to in reference to a former part of my invention. Fig. 1 shows a
pair of rollers (51) (52) the journals of one of which, that is to say, the journals
of the roller (52) are made capable of being revolved and of being raised and
lowered in inclined slots formed in the pedestals (d) in which the rollers (51) (52)
are mounted, the journals of the roller (51) being simply capable of being revolved
in the said pedestals (d¹).
The arrangements provided according to this part of my invention enable the
machines to which this part of my invention relates to be provided with large
rollers which while rendering it possible to obtain the advantages hereinbefore
mentioned as rendering the employment of large rollers desirable shall not pre-
vent or hinder the attendants in charge of such machines from being able to see
when any of the yarns or threads being operated upon become broken or terminate
or become entangled or otherwise require attention.
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:-
1. The combination with parts of a sectional warping or beaming machine or a
machine similar to a sectional warping or beaming machine and used in dressing
warps in sections or a balling machine which require to have their relative angular
velocities changed or adjusted from time to time, of tapering speed-cones, employed,
arranged and operating for the purposes and substantially as hereinbefore
described in reference to the first part of my invention.
2. The combination with parts of a sectional warping or beaming machine or a
machine similar to a sectional warping or beaming machine and used in dressing
warps in sections or a balling machine which require to have their relative angular
velocities changed or adjusted from time to time of discs or plates respectively
