PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Friedrich Eduard August

FRIEDRICH EDUARD AUGUST BUSCHE, of Schwelin, Westphalia, in the Empire of
Germany, Manufacturer. "IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF LACE,
BRAIDS, AND OTHER ORNAMENTAL FABRICS AND TRIMMINGS, AND IN THE
MACHINERY OR APPARATUS TO BE EMPLOYED THEREIN."
This Invention relates to the production, by a braiding machine of peculiar
construction, of lace, braids, and other ornamental fabrics and trimmings, whereby
certain classes of goods, such as lace and embroidered work, hitherto produced by
hand alone, can be manufactured at a much cheaper rate by machinery. The
general construction and mode of operation of the said improved machinery is
similar to that of a braiding machine, but with certain additions and improvements
which will be hereinafter more fully described. In the improved machine the
toothed driving wheels are separate from the notched discs which carry the bobbin
carriers or travellers, and they transmit the rotary motion to such notched discs by
sliding clutches, the toothed wheels and notched discs being mounted loose upon
fixed vertical spindles, as in the well known French braiding machines, whilst the
clutches slide along and turn with a continuation of the central boss of the notched
discs. These sliding clutches are actuated or governed by mechanism which is
in its turn actuated or governed by travelling pattern chains, straps, or other pattern
surfaces, the arrangement being such as to admit of the stopping and starting of
any one or more of such notched discs at the desired moment, according to the
pattern of work to be produced, the notched discs when thus arrested being always
in such a position with regard to the adjoining discs as to allow a bobbin carrier
to be delivered and received by them. A similar arrangement of mechanism to
TPS17
'

page_text: that employed for actuating the sliding clutches, and which is also governed by
travelling pattern chains, straps, or other surfaces, is employed for regulating the
positions of the guiding fingers or directors for directing the course of the bobbin
carriers as required. With a view to extending further the range of variety of
work to be produced on the improved machine, it is also proposed to use in combi-
nation with the general system of notched discs above set forth additional or
auxiliary notched discs, which are disposed at the outside or inside, or on both
sides of the notched disc whecis of the general system, and in connection therowith
these auxiliary notched discs being also capable of being stopped and started at
any moment required by similar arrangements of clutches and pattern surfaces to
-that-before-mentioned. By the use of these auxiliary notched discs facility is
afforded for keeping in reservo an extra number-of-bobbin-carriers.over and above
those which are required in the ordinary working of the machine, any required
number of these extra or reserve bobbin carriers being either put into work in
addition to the ordinary set, or exchanged for them, according to the requirements
of the pattern or design to be produced. The herein beforo described system of
self acting engaging and disengaging clutches governed by travelling pattern chains
or other pattern surfaces for the purpose of stopping and starting the notched dises
when required may also be applied to what is known as the German system of
braiding machines, wherein the bobbin carriers are mounted upon and travel along
slotted or grooved guiding plates, which system further admits of a modified
arrangement for stopping the bobbin carriers. According to this modified
arrangement-the-notched discs are also separate from the toothed wheels, but in
lieu of being thrown in or out of action by the clutch the said notched. discs are
allowed to slide up and down the bosses of the toothed wheels, and continuo always!
in rotation, the arrest of the motion of the bobbin carriers being effected as required
by the descent of the notched discs out of the range of the lower ends of such
carriers.
In manufacturing lace it is frequently necessary to arrest the operation of some
of the bobbin carriers whilst allowing others to continue their work, in order to
braid or interlace some parts longer and some shorter, and then to join the longer
parts with the shorter, by which proceeding the openings or meshes in the work
are produced. For this purpose it is proposed to employ two sets of delivery
rollers, the one set being situate behind the other. The rollers of the set nearest
to the braiding point though continually rotating allow the lace or work to pass
freely between them, they being held asunder at the time that the rear set is
working in the usual manner, which rear set of rollers is driven through a sliding
clutch actuated or governed by a pattern cam or by the travelling pattern surfaco
before referred to. The act of throwing the rear set of rollers out of action brings
the rollers of the front set into contact with each other, which rollers then take up
or deliver the work, such operation taking place only when the interlacing is being
carried on in parts of the work, whilst in other parts it remains suspended as
before mentioned. When the rear rollers are brought into action again the front
rollers are simultaneously separated, and the slack of the work along with the
slack of the non-interlaced threads between the braiding point and the rear rollers
is drawn back by the action of the tension weights in the bobbin carriers to the
point where the operation of the rear rollers had been previously suspended, so as
to enable the parts which have been separately braided or interlaced to be joined
to the other parts of the work for the formation of loops or meshcs.

FRIEDRICH EDUARD AUGUST BÜSCHE, of Schwelm, Westphalia, in the Empire
of Germany, Manufacturer. "IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF LACE,
BRAIDS, AND OTHER ORNAMENTAL FABRICS AND TRIMMINGS, AND IN THE
MACHINERY OR APPARATUS TO BE EMPLOYED THEREIN."
My said Invention relates to the production by a braiding machine of peculiar
construction of lace, braids, and other ornamental fabrics and trimmings, whereby
certain classes of goods, such as lace and embroidered work, hitherto produced by
hand alone, can be manufactured at a much cheaper rate by machinery. The
general construction and mode of operation of the said improved machinery is
similar to that of a braiding machine, but with certain additions and improvements
which will be hereinafter more fully described. In my improved machine the
toothed driving wheels are separate from the notched discs which carry the bobbin
carriers or travellers, and they transmit the rotary motion to such notched discs
by sliding clutches constituting a stop action, the toothed wheels and notched
discs being mounted loose upon fixed vertical spindles, as in the well known French
braiding machines, whilst the clutches of the stop action slide along and turn with
a continuation of the central boss of the notched discs. These sliding clutches aro
actuated or governed by mechanism which is in its turn actuated or governed by
travelling pattern chains, straps, or other pattern surfaces, the arrangement being
such as to admit of the stopping and starting of any one or more of such notched
discs at the desired moment, according to the pattern of work to be produced, the
notched discs when thus arrested being always in such a position with regard to tho
adjoining discs as to allow a bobbin carrier to be delivered and received by them.
A similar arrangement of mechanism to that employed for actuating the sliding
clutches, and which is also governed by travelling pattern chains, straps, or other
surfaces, is employed for regulating the positions of the guiding fingers or directors
for directing the course of the bobbin carriers as required. With a view to
extending further the range of variety of work to be produced on my improved
machine, I also propose to use in combination with the general system of notched
discs above set forth, additional or auxiliary notched disc wheels, which are disposed
at the outside or inside or on both sides of the notched disc wheels of the general
system and in connection therewith, these auxiliary notched discs being also
capable of being stopped and started at any moment required by similar
arrangements of clutches and pattern surfaces to that before mentioned. By the use
of these auxiliary notched discs facility is afforded for keeping in reserve an extra
number of bobbin carriers over and above those which are required in the ordinary
working of the machine, any required number of these extra or reserve bobbin carriers
being either put into work in addition to the ordinary set or exchanged for them,
according to the requirements of the pattern or design to be produced. The herein-
before described system of self acting engaging and disengaging clutches or stop
action governed by travelling pattern chains or other pattern surfaces for the
purpose of stopping and starting the notched discs when required may also be
applied to what is known as the German system of braiding machines, wherein the
bobbin carriers are mounted upon and travel along slotted or grooved guiding
plates, which system further admits of a modified arrangement of -stop action for
stopping the bobbin carriers. According to this modified arrangement the notched
discs are also separate from the toothed wheels, but in lieu of being thrown in
or out of action by the clutch the said notched discs are allowed to slide up and
down the bosses of the toothed wheels and continue always in rotation, the arrest

page_text: of the motion of the bobbin carriers being effected as required by the descent of
the notched discs out of the range of the lower ends of such carriers.
In manufacturing lace according to my Invention it is frequently necessary to
arrest the operation of some of the bobbin carriers whilst allowing others to
continue their work, in order to braid or interlace some parts longer and some
shorter and then to join the longer parts with the shorter, by which proceeding
the openings or meshes in the work are produced. For this purpose it is proposed to
employ two sets of delivery rollers, the one set being situate behind the other.
The rollers of the set nearest to the braiding point, though continually rotating,
allow the lace or work to pass freely between them, they being held asunder at
the time that the rear set is working in the usual manner, which rear set of rollers
is driven through a sliding clutch-actuated or governed by a pattern cam or by the
travelling pattern surface beforo referred to. The throwing of the rear-set-of-rollers..
out of action brings (according to one arrangement) the rollers of the front set into
contact with each other, which rollers then take up or deliver the work, such 1
operation taking place only when the interlacing is being carried on in parts of the
work, whilst in other parts it remains suspended as before mentioned. When the
rear rollers are brought into action again the front rollers are simultaneously
separated, and the slack of the work along with the slack of the non-interlacod
threads between the braiding point and the rear rollers is drawn back by the action
of the tension weights in the bobbin carriers to the point where the operation of
the rear rollers had been previously suspended, so as to enable the parts which have
been separately braided or interlaced to be joined to the other parts of the work for
the formation of loops or meshes. Or, if preferred, the two sets of rollers may be
actuated separately and independently, so that the take up of tho work can be
entirely suspended.
And in order that my said Invention may be fully understood I shall now proceed
more particularly to describe the same, and for that purpose shall refer to the
several Figures on the explanatory Sheets of Drawings hereunto annexed, the same
letters of reference indicating corresponding parts in all the corresponding Figures.
Figure 1 (Sheet 1) of the Drawings represents a general plan and partial
horizontal section, taken along the lines 3-4 and 5-6 in Figure 4, of my improved
machinery or apparatus, complete as arranged for the manufacture of lace and other
like ornamental fabrics; Figure 2 is a front elevation of the same, partly in section,
taken along the line 1-2 in Figure 1; Figure 3 is a side elevation of the improved
arrangement of delivery_rollers; Figure 4 is a transverse vertical section, taken
along the line 7-8 in Figure 1, of one of the toothed driving wheels with its
notched disc wheel (herein referred to as a main or principal notched disc wheel),
sliding clutch, and actuating mechanism; Figure 5 (Sheet 2) is a transverse
vertical section of the arrangement of a principal notched disc wheel in combination
with auxiliary notched disc wheels (and their respective stop actions), the section
being taken along the line 9-10 in Figure 6; Figure 6 is a plan of the same
arrangement, partly in horizontal section, taken along the line 1-2 in Figure 5;
Figure 7 is a transverse vertical section of my improved arrangement of notched
disc wheel, with its sliding clutch, stop motion, and actuating lever, as adapted for
use in what is known as the German system of braiding machine, the section being
taken along the line 11-12 in Figure 8; Figure 8 is a plan and partial horizontal
section of the same taken along the line 3-4 in Figure 7; Figure 9 is a detail
elevation of a modified arrangement of stop action to be used in the German
system of braiding machines for arresting the motion of the bobbin carriers at and
during the time required by the descent of the notch discs out of the range of the
lower ends of the bobbin carriers; and Figure 10 is a corresponding plan and
partial horizontal section of the same. The most impartant feature of my Invention
is the employment of special mechanism for stopping the action of any one of the
bobbin carriers at any required moment, and for keeping the same out of action
during any desired period of time. This may be accomplished by various combi-
nations or arrangements of mechanism, examples of two of which I have illustrated

page_text: by my Drawings. In the first arrangement, as illustrated by Figures 1, 2, 4, 5,
and 6, the toothed driving wheels a in lieu of being fixed as heretoforo to the
notched discs a' they are maintained separate therefrom by an interposing collar on
tho fixed spindle. The boss of the notched disc wheels a¹ turns loosely on the said
spindle and rests at its lower end upon the said collar. Along the said boss slides
vertically the clutch p, which, when rotated, imparts its movement to the said boss
with its notched discs. On the under flange c of the clutch p (Figure 4) there are
provided as many projections as there are notches in the discs (see Figures 5 and 7),
and a corresponding projection is provided on the upper surface of the toothed
wheel, with which projection one or other of those on the clutch at c engages, as
hereinafter explained. The underside of the upper flange of the clutch is provided
with projections corresponding to those on the lower flange, each of which projections
is made with an incline on one side, terminating in a vertical face (see Figures 5
and 7.) The intermediate part of the clutch is embraced by a forked bell crank
lever e, which works between the two flanges, and is turned up at the forked end
so as to form a catch (see Figures 4, 5, and 7). The lower end of the said lever is
connected with a pattern surface, such, for example, as a pattern chain, band, or
pattern cam, actuated by the braiding machine itself, the connection being effected
by wires, chains, or other suitable connectors, guided or not, as may be required, by
guide pulleys, as shown at fin Figures 2 and 4. In Figures 1 and 2 I have shown,
by way of example only, a pattern surface, consisting of an endless inetallic band Gi
passing over a roller G adjustable round a carrying shaft driven from the machine
by suitable gearing. In this band slots or openings are made, arranged according
to the pattern required, and corresponding with annular grooves in the roller G.
Pins or pegs in the circumference of the roller at each end gear into the pattern
band and cause it to travel along with the roller. g, g, (Figures 1 and 2) are levers
mounted on an axle above each roller, and carrying adjustable fingers which, by the
action of a spring attached to the slotted guiding plato H (as shown), or otherwise
mounted, aro caused to drop into the annular grooves of the roller at those parts of
the band where the slots or openings occur, thereby causing the lover g to move the
turned up ends of the clutch lever e upwards by the agency of the connecting wire.
When the adjustable fingers are forced out of the slots onto the surface of the
pattern band another and weaker spring (Figures 5 and 7) attached to the lever c
returns it to its original position, again allowing the clutch to descend by its own
gravity and engage again with the toothed wheel. If desired, a helical spring may
be employed to assist this descent of the clutch (see Figures 5 and 7). When the
forked ends of the lever e are elevated the before mentioned inclines on the under-
side of the upper flange of the clutch p rotate in such a direction as to cause the
said inclines to slide upon the turned up ends of the clutch lever, which, remaining
stationary, compels the clutch to rise up the boss of the notched disc wheel, thereby
disengaging it from the toothed driving wheel, by which time the stops or
projections on the ends of the inclines, by coming in contact with the turned up
ends of the lever, will arrest tho rotary motion of the notched discs, the said stops
or projections being so situate with regard to the notches in the disc as to ensure
the arrest of its motion at the proper time for the transfer of the bobbin carriers
from one disc to another, that is to say, when two adjoining notches coincide. In
order to ensure the coincidence of the notches in the main disc provided with the
stop action and its adjoining discs in the circle, I dispose the centre of the said
main disc in a straight line, joining the centres of the adjoining dises, the entire
series of discs thus forming a polygon in lieu of a circle (see Figure 1.)
One of the simplest forms of my improved machinery as regards the arrangement
of the notched disc wheels is that shown in Figure 1, where each principal
notched disc wheel has four notches, and is provided with the stop action, whilst
the intermediate disc wheels have two notches only and no stop action, a separate
pattern roller and band being provided for each principal notched disc wheel and .
its directors hereinafter referred to. The speed of the pattern rollers is so regulated
with reference to that of the principal notched disc wheels as to allow a fresh slot

page_text: in the pattern band to come into action for each notch in the corresponding disc.
When auxiliary notched discs are employed, as shown in Figures 5 and 6, the
centres of the said discs are on a radius passing through the centre of their main
disc. In a machine constructed and arranged as above described with notched
discs provided with stop action, it is necessary, in order to secure the full benefit
to be obtained from such an arrangement, to employ fingers or directors i, i, which
I actuate, govern, or control independently by means of pattern surfaces in lieu of
allowing such directors to be simply moved or actuated by the bobbin carriers
themselves in their passage, as is the case in ordinary braiding machines. For
this purpose I mount the directors i upon vertical rocking spindles provided at
the lower ends with lever arms connected by wires or otherwise with the lovers g
--of-the-pattern-mechanism, as..herein before described with reference to the levers e
of the stop motion in Figures 1 and 2, the said directors being restored to their
original positions by springs (not shown in my Drawings) as will be readily
understood. I would here observe that I lay no claim to the use of directors
governed by pattern surfaces when not combined with notched disc wheels provided
with stop actions, such combination constituting an important feature of my
Invention, as by its use I am enabled to arrest the motion of any one or more of
the bobbin carriers at any suitable point of its course and during any required
length of time; also to allow bobbin carriers to remain on or in the same disc,
twisting their threads together, during any length of time, and to commence their
return from any of the main notched discs provided with the stop action without
risk of collision; hence I am enabled to vary the relative positions of the bobbin
carriers to any extent, according to the patterns to be provided. Moreover, by the
use of auxiliary notched discs provided with a stop action & disposed on the
opposite sides of the main or principal notched disc wheels, and also on the side or
sides of the intermediate notched disc wheels, I am enabled greatly to extend the
range and variety of patterns and work to be produced, and to manufacture by
my improved machinery a class of ornamental lace fabrics which heretofore has
only been produced commercially by hand labour, and which is known in tho
market as "real Torchon lace," such lace work consisting of threads partly twisted
and partly braided together, and, where the pattern requires it, partly interwoven
crosswise (whether at right angles or diagonally) with other threads. The twisting
together of the threads is effected by the main or principal notched disc wheels, the
bobbin carriers therein being prevented by the directors from leaving the wheel
during its rotation. The twisting action having proceeded to the required extent
the directors are so adjusted as direct the bobbin carriers from one principal
notched disc wheel to the next, through the intermediate notched disc wheel, when
the braiding process commences, as will be readily understood. Where an inter-
weaving of threads is required the bobbin carriers are directed onto the auxiliary
notched disc wheels provided with stop actions, and disposed on the outer and
inner sides of the principal wheel, one carrier travelling along the main series of
discs, thereby laying its thread across those of the carriers on the auxiliary wheels.
Having completed its course in one direction the other bobbin carriers on the
auxiliary discs are caused to cross their threads on the inain series of disc wheels,
and are then again put into reserve in the auxiliary discs, after which action the
first mentioned single travelling bobbin carrier, or any other that takes its place,
returns, recrossing the other threads, thereby interweaving them together, the same
operations being continued and varied according to the pattern required. The
above mentioned threads of the bobbin carriers in the auxiliary wheels may also
in some cases chango position without crossing, but in such a way as to interweave
their threads with the thread of the singlo travelling bobbin carriers crosswise or
at right angles therewith. In making ornamental braid or trimmings, consisting,
for example, of a plain braided foundation having threads oither of the same or
different material or colour interbraided therein, so as to form designs or patterns
thereon resembling embroidery, tapestry, or jacquard work, which class of goods has
never heretofore been produced in a braiding machine, the intermediate notched

page_text: dise wheels of the machine herein before described may be provided with four
notches in lieu of two, wheroby the machine is enabled to work as an ordinary
braiding machine, and auxiliary notched disc wheels with stop motion are employed,
as in the arrangement already described, in order to receive the bobbin carriers
with the bobbins required for producing the ornamentation of the braid. The
machine when thus arranged and governed by pattern surfaces admits of the inter-
changing of the bobbin carriers, producing the plain work with those which aro
intended for producing the ornamental work; also of the latter bobbin carriers
working partly together with the entire series of bobbin carriers intended for
producing the plain work, and of their interweaving their ornamenting threads
crosswise with the threads of the plain braid or foundation.
The heroinbefore described arrangement of stop action consisting of a sliding
clutch is represented in Figures 7 and 8 as applied to the German system of
braiding machines wherein the bobbin carriers are supported by and travel along a
slotted guiding plate. The notched disc, as in the previous arrangement, is separato
from the toothed wheel a, and the sliding clutch p is actuated by a bell crank
lever e, as already described. As in the German system the bobbin carriers are
entirely guided by the slotted plate, it is necessary to make provision for tho
transfer, as required, of the bobbin carriers from one disc to another. I accomplish
this by making the receiving point W (Figure 8) in the guiding plate (and which
point intervenes between two adjoining discs) moveable laterally, and with its
surfaces flush with the upper and underside of the guiding plate so as to open or
close either of the slots as required, and at the same time allow the bobbin carrier
to pass over it. The said moveable directing point W is mounted on the rocking
spindle W', which is governed, liko the rocking spindles ¹ already described and
referred to, by a pattern surface.
In the second arrangement of stop action, shown in Figures 9 and 10, and which
is also specially adapted to the German system of braiding machine, the driving
disc V of the bobbin carrier, which is provided with projections in lieu of notches
(see Figure 10) is entirely separate from its toothed driving wheel; it is formed
with a flanged boss which slides freely up and down the lengthened boss of the said
toothed driving wheel, being forced to rotate along with the said wheel by a groove
and feather. The sliding boss is embraced by the forked end of the lever e¹, and is
pressed upwards by a spring beneath on the boss of the driving wheel, or otherwiso
placed so as to produce the same result. The disc V is so formed as to allow the
lower ends of the bobbin carriers after leaving one of the projections to pass freely
to another. When the motion of the bobbin carriers is to be arrested the lever e¹
acted upon by the pattorn surface as hefore described, depresses the disc V so as
to bring it out of range of the lower ends of the said bobbin carriers, which then
remain stationary until the disc V is again elevated by the release of the lever e',
as will be readily understood.
When the motion of some of the bobbin carriers is arrested during longer or
shorter periods, as hereinbefore described, for the purpose of producing openings or
meshes in lace work by braiding, twisting, or interlacing some parts of the work
longer and some shorter, and then joining the longer parts with the shorter, it is
evident that the worked parts of the lace along with the unworked threads of the
arrested bobbin carriers must be drawn back from the delivery rollers in order to
enable the worked parts to be joined onto the unworked threads at the point where
the work of the latter ceased. To effect this I employ two sets of delivery rollers,
shown in detail at Figure 3. is a vertical driving shaft receiving its motion from
the machine, as is well understood; this shaft carries a bevel wheel which drives
another wheel fast on the horizontal shaft carrying two endless screws which
impart motion to the two sets of delivery rollors, as shown in Figure 3.
The set
nearest to the braiding point consists of two rollers, whilst the other or rear set,
which is in the position and answers the purpose of the usual delivery rollers, may
consist of three or more rollers. The endless screw which drives the latter rollers
is loose on the shaft ¹ but is prevented from sliding thereon. It is rotated by a

page_text: sliding clutch connected by a groove and feather with the shaft k' from which it
receives its rotary motion, the engaging and disengaging of the said sliding clutch
is effected by the lever k¹¹ fixed on an axle 1 (see Figures 1 and 3). On the same
axle there is fixed a lover arm which is connected with a pattern surface or cam
in such a manner as to receive motion therefrom as required. The two front rollers,
which receive a continuous rotary motion from the shaft k', are kept separate by
the springs m (Figures 2 and 3), which act upon the upper roller in order to allow
of the free passage of the work between them; the rise of this upper roller is
limited by projections in the framing in order to prevent the disengagement of the
teeth of the gearing on both rollers when separated. At the moment when the
-pattern-surface.effects the disengagement of the sliding clutch from the endless
screw which drives the rear set of rollers, the lever arm n, which-is-also-fixed-on.
the axle (Figure 1), acts by an adjustable connecting rod or bar upon the knee
jointed levers n¹ and n² (Figures 2 and 3), and causes them to press down the
sliding cross piece o which rests upon the bearings of the upper one of the front
delivery rollers, thereby bringing it into contact with the lower roller so as to
enable these rollers to take up the work, whilst the rear set of rollers remain
stationary. On bringing into action at the required moment the rear rollers the
knee levers n¹ and n² separate the two front rollers, thereby suspending their
drawing off action, and allowing the slack of the work which has necessarily been
formed between the front and rear rollers during the time tho rear rollers had
ceased to work to be taken up and drawn back by the action of the tension weights
in the bobbin carriers, so as to admit of the joining of the worked parts with the
unworked parts of the lace arising from the arrest of the motion of some of the
bobbin carriers. Thus it will be seen that the front rollers are only required to
be in action during the time that some of the bobbin carriers are at rest for the
purpose hereinbefore described.
By bringing the connecting rod of the kuce jointed lovers into direct connection
with a separate pattern surface by any suitable arrangement of lovers and rods, it
will be readily understood that the take up of the work can, if necessary, be
entirely arrested during any desired period, and started again at the desired
moment.
Having now described and particularly ascertained the nature of my said
Invention, and the manner in which the same is or may be used or carried into
effect, I would observe, in conclusion, that what I consider to be novel and original,
and therefore claim as the Invention secured to me by the hereinbefore in part
recited Letters Patent is,-
