and at large appear.
per-
My Invention of certain improvements in hand looms and power looms
consists, firstly, in an improved machine or a new arrangement of mechanism
for weaving, in which two pieces of cloth or other fabric can be woven at the

page_text: of
same time, either entirely by manual labor, or partly by hand, assisted by a
rotary shaft driven by steam or other power. In this novel arrangement
of machinery, two slays, and also two sets of healds, work simultaneously,
and the warps are given off from two separate rollers or beams, and the
work is taken up upou two separate rollers or beams, also simultaneously,
by a peculiar mechanism, which is capable of adjustment for the purpose
enabling the looms to weave cloths of any substance or thickness desired,
and with an improved contrivance, by means of tension rollers, of conducting
the warps.
With this machinery is also combined a self-acting apparatus
for stopping the operation of the looms in the event of one of the weft
threads breaking, and also a mechanism for stopping the loom whenever
one of the shuttles fails to reach its destined place in the shuttle box.
Secondly, in certain appendages to a loom intended to be worked solely by
steam or other rotary power, which appendages nearly resemble in principle
the mechanism employed in the former machine for giving out the warp and
taking up the work, that is, in winding on the cloth, but which power loom is
adapted to weave one piece of cloth only at a time, with a mode of varying
those operations occasionally as the work goes on, in order to produce a piece
of cloth differing in substance in parts, that is, with thick and thin portions or
stripes formed transversely. In this loom is adapted a modification of the
before-mentioned mechanism for stopping the operation of the loomwhen the
weft thread breaks, and also another and different contrivance for effecting
the same object under similar circumstances. With these are combined a self-
acting apparatus for letting the small portion of cloth run back from the cloth
beam which may have been taken up after the weft thread broke, and also a
mode of preventingconcussion when themachinerystopsfromthecircumstance
of the shuttle not having reached its place of destination in the shuttle box.
These improvements are fully set out and exhibited in the accompanying
Drawings, in which Figure 1 represents the first-mentioned construction of
loom in side elevation; Figure 2 is a front view of the same, and Figure 3, a
vertical section taken longitudinally through about the middle of the loom.
A, a, are the two warp beams; B, b, the two cloth or work beams; C, c, are
the two slays connected together by rods D,D; E,e,are the two sets of healds.
The front set of the healds E are suspended by cords f, f, passed over pullies
or rollers 9, g, at top,and are connected at bottom to the treadles h, h. On the
axle or shaft of the rollers 7 a toothed wheel is fixed acting in the teeth of a
sliding rack bar i, at the reverse end of which bar there is a similar rack
taking into a corresponding wheel fixed on the axle of the back rollers j, over
which the cords of the other or back set of healds e are suspended, these back

page_text: healds e being kept in tension by their cords passing under the rollers/ mounted
in the lower part of the framework. In place of the toothed wheels on the
axles of the rollers g and j and the sliding rack i, rollers and straps might be
employed for the same purpose. A shaft F is mounted upon the side rails of
the frame, and extends transversely through the machine, its ends carrying
cranks G, G, which are connected to the lateral rods or links H, H, and the
reverse ends of these rods or links are attached by joints to the front part of
the slay bottom C. On the crank shaft F a wheel I is fixed, which takes into a
wheel K upon the tappet shaft L. This shaft L carries the tappets or excen-
trics 1,,which act upon the treadles h,h, for the purpose of working the front
set of healds E up and down. It will now be perceived that on the workman
applying his hand to the top rail of the front slay C, and giving to that slay
the ordinary vibratory movements, that the connecting rods D, D, will cause
the back slay c to perform a similar vibratory movement. At the same time the
crank rods or links H, H, connected to the front slay C and to the cranks G,G,
will give to the crank shaft Fa rotary movement, and this shaft as it revolves,
will through the agency of the toothed wheels I and K, before described, cause
the shaft L with the tappets 1, l, to revolve, and alternately to depress the
treadles h, h, by which the healds E are made to open the shedds of the warp
for the passage of the shuttle. These movements of the front healds E will,
by means of their cords f,f, give reciprocating rotary movements to the roller
shaft g, g, above, and hence through the intervention of the sliding rack bar i
and rollers j,j, the back healds e will be worked also, and the shedds of the
back warp opened simultaneously with that of the front. In order to relieve
the labour of the workman these parts of the machinery may be driven by
steam or other rotary power by an endless strap m from any first mover being
passed round a rigger n fixed on the end of the crank shaft F, by the rotation
of which the movements above described will be effected, leaving the workman
merely to drive the shuttles to and fro at the proper periods, which may be
done by the ordinary pecking apparatus having cords from the peckers of each
slay connected to one pecking stick. For the purpose of giving off the warps
from the beams A and a, and taking up the cloth on the beams B and b, the
following mechanism is brought into action:-On the tappet shaft L there
are affixed two small excentrics or cams Q, which as the shaft L revolves
act upon the tails of two levers M & m mounted on pivots fixed in the side
of the frame at 4, 1.
At the outer ends of these levers M & m clicks or
catches N, n, are attached, which take into the teeth of ratchet wheels O, 0,
fixed at the outer ends of two longitudinal shafts P, p, mounted in horizontal
positions on the side of the frame, as seen in the side elevation, Figure 1,

page_text: On these longitudinal shafts P, p, there are firmly fixed bosses, formed as
worms or endless screws R, r, taking into the teeth of wheels S, s, fixed
on the ends of the axles of the rollers J, J, which conduct the warps from
the beams A and a, these warp beams being held tight by friction cords and
weighted levers, as in ordinary looms. Upon the same longitudinal shafts
P, p, there are also other bosses formed as worms or endless screws T, t,
taking into toothed wheels V, v, on the ends of the cloth beans Band b. It
will now be perceived that by the action of the cams Q and levers M, m, the
clicks N, n, will be made to drive the ratchet wheels O, o, and shafts P, p, at
intervals, and consequently through the worms R, r, and T, t, and tooth
wheels S, s, and V, e, such rotary movements will be given to the tension
rollers J, J, which conduct the warps by friction as shall cause the required
quantity of warp to be given off from the beams A, a, and of cloth to bo
taken up or wound upon the work beams B, b; the proportionate velocities
of each being dependent upon the gear by which they are driven, and
consequently, by changing their driving wheels, cloths of different substances
may be produced. The diameters and rotary movements of the taking-up
gear T, t, and V, v, being arranged for winding the cloth upon naked
beams A, a, of certain diameters, it is necessary as the cloths accumulate upon
the beams, enlarging their diameters, that a mode of decreasing their taking
up speed should be provided; this is done by the following contrivance:
The bosses of the worms or endless screws T, t, are not firmly fixed to the
shafts P, p, as the bosses of the other worms R, r, but are held thereto by the
friction of the surface plates U, u, against which the plates of the bosses T, t,
are pressed by strong holiacal springs. Hence the force arising from any
increased tension of the cloth in winding upon the beams will be exerted
through the wheels V, e, in forcing back the bosses T,t, and thereby separating
them from the surface plates U, u, which will allow the shafts P', p, to slip
round within the bosses, and only to actin winding up the cloth when its tensious
upon the beam becomes relaxed and the springs force the friction plates into
close contact. The contrivances for stopping the loom when the weft thread
breaks consist of the following mechanism:-Wisalightlever, standing across
the loom in front of the slay, which lever hangs upou a pivot w, at the side of
one of the standard posts, seen in the front elevation, Figure 2. This lever W
extends about half way across the cloth, having its end bent downward, with
a blunt point bearing upon the surface of the cloth, within three or four
threads of the edge of the work beaten up by the reed. X is a small finger
lever placed under the former, and at right angles to it (see the section,
Figure 3). This finger lever is mounted upon a double-armed lever x,

page_text: acting upon a fulcrum pin or axle passed through its centre.
When the
point of the lever W bears upon the cloth the lever is kept up in the situation
shewn in Figure 2, and the weight at the back of the finger lever X keeps
that lever up also, with the double-armed lever,, in the position repro-
sented in Figure 2; but in the event of the weft thread breaking, the
reed will beat up the work three or four times without any filling weft, and
the taking up of the cloth upon the work beam proceeding at the same time,
the then imperfect portion of the work produced by the deficiency of filling
weft threads will be brought under the point of the lever W, which point
being then without support will necessarily fall through between the warp
threads and cause the lever W to descend into the situation shewn by dots.
This descent of the lever W will depress the finger lever X, and then the
slay C in advancing will, by striking against the end of the finger X, throw it
and its double-armed lever x, x, into the position shewn by dots in the section,
Figure 3, when the lower end of the double-armed levers a rising and coming
into contact with a projection or stop fixed to the under part of the slay bottom
will prevent the slay from being brought forward. It is to be observed that the
same construction of mechanism must be applied in a similar manner to the
back slay as well as the front, and consequently, inthe event of the weft thread
breaking in either, the further beating up of the work will be prevented in both.
In order to cause the operations of the loom to be instantly suspended when
the shuttle has not reached its place of destination in the shuttle box, the
following mechanism is employed:-A finger lever Y, seen in the side eleva-
tion, Figure 1, is mounted upon a double-armed lever y, y, which acts upon a
fulcrum pin or axle near its centre, and the tail or lower end of this lever y
bears against a weighted lever, hanging upon a stud fixed in the side frame
at. The shuttle having reached its proper place in the shuttle box, on the
slay advancing the side of the shuttle will come in contact with the end of the
finger Y, and push it and the double-armed levery, y, back, and cause the
leverZto be depressed into the position shewa by dots; but whenever the shuttle
fails to reach its place of destination, the end of the finger Y is not acted upon
by the advance of the slay, the levers, y, and Z, therefore remain quiescent,
and the slay is arrested in its progress by a stop or projection under the slay
bottom coming in contact with a catch or notch in the edge of the lever Z.
This piece of mechanism is to be adapted in the same way to the slay on both
sides of the loom; and in a loom with double slays, as described, it may be
applied in a similar manner to the front as well as the back slay. It some-
times happens that the shuttle stops in a situation partly in the box and
partly in the sheds of the wasp; in this case when the slay advances the side of

page_text: the shuttle would strike against the end of the fingerlever Xabove described,
and cause the lower end of its double-armed lever r, a, to raise and cone in
contact with the stop at the under side of the slay bottom, and so arrest the
progress of the slay. For this purpose I should adopt a similar finger lever to
the slay on both sides of the loom.
Figure 4 represents an end elevation of my improved loom to be driven
by steam or other rotary power; Figure 5 is a plan or horizontal view of
the same; and Figure 6 is an elevation of a loom taken at the back part.
A is the warp beam; B, the cloth beam; C, the slay carrying the reed
and shuttle, which slay is connected by rods d, d, to the main driving or
crank shaft D. The pecker sticks c, e, are mounted upon perpendicular
shafts E, E. The healds F are suspended by cords and straps from the
rollers f, f, above, and are attached to treddle levers G, G, below. The
main driving shaft D carries a toothed wheel g, which takes into another
wheel / fixed on the lower or tappit shaft L. On this shaft L are also the
tappits i, i, that alternately depress the treddles G, G, and thereby work the
healds F. Upon the same shaft are also other tappits h, k, affixed to crank
arms at the ends of the shaft L, which are intended to work the pecker levers
K, K. These pecker levers are suspended from studs 1, 1, fixed on the side
frames above, and are connected near their lower ends by straps m, m, to
segment levers n, n, on the perpendicular shafts E, E; hence it. will be
perceived that as the shaft L revolves, the levers K, K, will be acted
upon by the force of the rotary tappits, and through the agency of the
straps m and shafts E, the pecking sticks e, e, will be made alternately to
give smart strokes to the peckers for the purpose of driving the shuttle
to and fro. Thus far I have only described the operating parts and move-
ments for a power loom of the ordinary construction. The mode of giving
off the warp from the beam A, and of taking up the cloth on the beam B, is
the first peculiar feature of my improvement which I have adapted to a
loom of this description. A longitudinal shaftP is mounted on brackets P, P,
at the side of the frame, as seen in Figure 1 and 5. On this shaft is
fixed a ratchet wheel O, which wheel, with the shaft P, are driven round by
the action of a click N connected to the compound lever M, M, shewn by dots
in Figure 4, but more clearly in the transverse section, Figure 7, aud in the
representation of the mechanism as it would appear on the reverse or inner
side of the frame at Figure 8. This compound lever M, M, hangs on
studs n, n, fixed in the framework, and is acted upon by the rotary cams Q
on the tappet shaft L, which causes them to rise and fall into the positions
shewn by dots in Figure 8. The click N hangs by a stud in a lever q, which

page_text: turns loosely upon the shaft I, and the lever is supported by a forked arm
attached by a joint to the compound lever M. It will now be perceived that
as the tappet shaft I revolves, such vibratory movements will be given to the
compound lever Mas will cause the click N to drive round the ratchetwheel O,
and with it the longitudinal shaft P,which through the agency of the worms R
and T,and the wheels S and V, in a similar way to that described in reference.
to the hand loom, communicates rotary movements to the rollers J, J, for con-
ducting warp, and to the work beam B for taking up the cloth. In order to
relieve the tension of the cloth as it winds upon the beam B, the worm Tis
attached to the shaft P by friction plates T and U, as before described. For
the purpose of varying the substance of the cloth in parts as it is produced in
the loom, that is, weaving it in transverse stripes, having a greater number of
shoots or weft threads in a given space in one part, and a lesser number in a
given space in another part, technically called "gauze cross over," I change
the giving-out and taking-up speed of the warp at intervals, by varying the
extent of action of the driving click N; this is effected in the following.
manner-The click N and its. lever q are worked as above described by the
rising and falling of the compound lever M. and forked arm r; the cir-
cular movement of the ratchet wheel O and its shaft P must therefore
depend upon the extent of the stroke given to the click N by the rising and
falling of the lever M, and this is inade, in the first instance, to drivo
the warp at the greatest giving-out and taking-up speed, that is, to operate
with a speed suited to the production of the thinnest cloth or gauze portions
of the fabric. . But in order to diminish this speed of the warp, I shorten
the stroke of the driving click N by bringing a stop levert into operation
immediately under the click lever q, the upper end of which stop lever then
arrests the descent of the lever q when it has fallen through only a part of
its arc, consequently, on the rising of the forked lever at the next upward
stroke of the compound lever M the lever q and click N will be raised but a
trifling distance, and therefore the ratchet wheel will be driven through a
smaller portion of a rotation than when the leverg and click N passed through
a larger arc. Hence by the diminished speed of the warp a greater number
of weft threads will be introduced into the work in a given length of warp,
and the cloth in those parts will necessarily be made thicker. The stop
lever is mounted nearly in a perpendicular position upon a stud set in
the inner side of the framework, as shewn in Figures 7 and S. having a
tendency to hang a little on one side, but is brought into a perpendicular
position by a segment cam on the rim of the wheels . This cain v, as the
wheel u revolves, acts against the tail of the lever t, and forces it into such a

page_text: position as will cause its upper end to stand inmediately in the way of the
click lever and prevent its descent, as above said. The extent of the seg-
mental arc of the cam "will deterinine the width of the stripe of thick cloth,
and it is obvious that several cams of small segmental extent may be so
applied in one wheel, for the purpose of producing repetitions of thick and
thin stripes in the fabric,andwhich indeed will provide the manner of working
varieties of patterns in such goods. It is necessary to observe that a drawing
catch w should be attached to the lower arm of the compound lever M, for
the purpose of giving rotary motion to the wheel u by the rising and falling of
the compound lever. The mechanism of stopping the loom in the event of
the weft thread breaking will be seen by reference to Figure 9, which is a
partial view of the front of the loom, and Figure 10 a partial section, taken
longitudinally within the framework,looking toward the right hand of Figure
9. A light lever W, having a blunt point, is mounted upon a fulcrum pin fixed
in the back of the breast beam, the point of the lever in this case standing
upwards against the under surface of the cloth, within a few threads of the
edge of the work or the weft last beaten up by the reed. From this lever W
a plummet rod (a) is pendant by a loose joint. At the side of the loom is
fixed a spring lever (6), which is called the knocking-off lever, and this is con-
nected by a rod which protrudes through it to the guider (c) of the strap,
which communicates the rotary power to the driving pully. A horizontal
catch lever (7), mounted on a bracket at the side of the frame, and held by a
spring (e), confines the knocking-off lever bya notch in its side in the situation
represented at Figure 9. A sliding bar (f,f) of a bent form (see Figure 10)
is supported upon guide pins passed through slots in the bar. These guide
pins are set in the sides of the frame, and the bar (f.f.) is enabled to slide
to and fro upon them. Two studs (g, g,) are fixed in the side of this sliding
bar, for the purpose of being acted upon by the leg of the slay as it vibrates,
in order to move the bar to and fro. Another stud (/) is also fixed in the
sliding bar, which is intended to act (when required) against the catch bar.
In this position of these parts the ovolutions of the loom may go on, the bar
(f) being slidden to and fro by the leg of the slay without acting upon the
catch lever; but in the event of the weft thread breaking, the progressive
winding of the cloth on to the beam will cause the thin part of the work
wanting filling to be brought over the point of the lever W, which will allow
the point to rise through the thin part of the work, and the other end, or
longer arm of the lever W,falling into the position shewn bydots in Figure 9,
will bring down the plummet (a) into the socket (i) fixed to the back of the
catch lever (d). The plummet now resting in the socket (i), on the slay

page_text: receding, its leg will strike against the back stud (g), and slide the bar back-
ward, which will cause the stud (h) to come in contact with the plummet (a)
in he socket (), and to force it and the catch lever (d) back sufficiently to
release the spring lever (b) from the notch in the edge of the catch lever (1),
and the spring lever(b), which is now passing to the position shewn by dots in
Figure 9, will cause the driving strap to be conducted from the fast to the
loose pully, and hence the loom to stop its operations. The other method of
stopping the loom when theweft thread breaks will be understood by reference
to Figure 11, which is a partial section taken longitudinally through the
loom, shewing the breast beam (c) and the slay C. In the front of the
slay a socket plate is fixed, in which a sliding plate m is enabled to move up
and down freely. The top of this sliding plate carries a light lever or fork (n)
hanging over a recess in the slay at o near one of the shuttle boxes, as scen
also in the horizontal views of the loom, Figure 5. At the back of this recess
(o) a right-angled piece (p) is affixed, having horizontal grooves or flutes in its
upwright part next the recess, and over the top of the recess a grating (9) is
placed for the shuttle to slide over without impediment as it passes to and fro
along the slay. To the breast beam () a bent arm (2, r, r,) is affixed, by the
surfaces of which the lower end of the sliding plate m is guided,as it moves
along by the advance of the slay, the plate and its lever m and a being held
up, as shewn by dots, while sliding over the horizontal part of the arm » 1,
in order that the shuttle may pass under it. As the slay advances the end of
the plate m descends upon the inclined planer 2, and in so doing causes the
forked lever n to come down upon the grating q. If the weft thread continued
entire it would be carried along the slay by the shuttle, and lie with a
slight degree of tension over the grating 2,at or near (.),and the fork or light
lever n in descending would be supported near its end by the thread, until bythe
further descent of the sliding plate m the lever n would be brought nearly into
a horizontal position, as shewn in Figure 11,and its end lodged in one of the
grooves of the piece p. Under these circumstances the plate m and lever n
will not be allowed to descend any further though the slay advances. But in
the event of the weft thread having broken from the shuttle, the end of
the lever n in descending would meet with nothing to support it, and would
theu pass through the grating in the inclined position shewn by dots to the
bottom of the recess o, and as the slay advances the lower end of the sliding
plate would at the same time descend until it had passed over a notch (s) in a

return or receeding of the slay, the lower end of the sliding plate m will take
hold of the notch sand draw the catch plate t, t, into the situation shewn

page_text: by dots, when a tail(v)projecting from this plate will press against the edge of
the catch bar d,described above in reference to Figure 9, and by releasing the
spring lever b will cause the guider Cto throw the driving shaft from the fast
to the loose pulley, thereby stopping the evolutions. of the loom, as before
explained. In order to hold up the lever or fork n in the absence of the weft
thread when the shuttle is in the box at the reverse end of the slay, a stop (u)
is affixed to a swinging lever mounted in the socket plate l,in front of the slay,
which lever and stop is brought up under the catch (5) fixed in front of
the sliding barm by the action of a strap (w, w,) extending from the back of
the breast.beam, as shewn by dots in Figure 5, and attached at the reverse
end behind the pecker to the rod on which the pecker slides. On the return
of the shuttle into its box at this end of the slay. this shuttle causes the pecker
to strike against the end of the strap w, by means of which the lever and stop
(u)are withdrawn from under the catch;,and the sliding plate m with its lever
nifall into action, as described above. In order to let off or unwind that small
portion of the cloth which has been taken up on the work beam after a weft
thread broke, so that the cloth when the weaving is resumed may be perfect, I
adopt the following contrivance:-A horizontal rod x,a,see Figure 9, is placed
behind the work roller, one end of which has a notch that the spring lever b
falls into; the other end of this lever is attached by a joint to an upright rod
which carries a rack catch (y) taking into a ratchet wheel (*)....When the
spring lever.b stands in the position shewn in. Figure 9, the rack catch ywill be
drawn by the rod out of action; but when the spring lever has been let off
by the receeding of the catch'leverd, the spring lever b will cause the horizontal
rod x, x, to be slidden to the left and to put the catch rack into the teeth by
the wheel (). This wheel () is fixed upon the end of the lateral shaft P,
carrying the worms T and R, as seen in Figure 4, consequently turns with
that shaft. The workman, therefore, in moving the spring lever into the
situation shewn at Figure 9, naturally draws the rod, and rack catch y to the
right, and thereby produces such a retrograde rotary movement of the ratchet
wheel () and shaft P as will cause the required quantity of cloth to be un-
wound from the work beam. In order to prevent a violent concussion from
the sudden stopping of the loom when the shuttle has not reached its place of
destination 1 have varied the position of the ordinary stop applied to power
looms,so as to allow the stop to come into operation when the driving crank
has nearly reached the end of its throw, that is, when the slay in beating up
the weft has arrived within about an inch of the work, then the stop, which, is
the lower end of a double-armed lever pendant from the back part of the slay,
hangs down in such a position as to strike with very little impetus against the
1

page_text: knocking-off slider, and by thus gently. pushing the end of that slider against
the back of the spring lever b forces it forward away from the notch of the
catch lever d, and thereby throws off the driving strap and suspends the
evolutions of the loom, as before described.
.
Having now set out my several improvements in hand and power looms in
connection with the mechanism of hand and power looms as commonly cou-
structed, I have lastly to state in what the several features of my improve-
ments particularly consist, and which I claim under the said above recited
Letters Patent, that is to say:-
First, the novel arrangement of the parts of a loom in which two pieces of
cloth are produced at one operation, as described.
Secondly, the mechanism for giving off the warps from their beam and
taking up the cloths upon their beams by simultaneous operations with the
mode of relieving the tension.
Thirdly, the apparatus for stopping the loom when the weft thread breaks,
or the shuttle does not reach its place in the shuttle box.
Fourthly, the contrivance of varying the substance of the cloth in certain
parts.
Fifthly, the means by which a portion of the cloth is unwound from the
work beam in order to make the weaving perfect.
And, sixthly, the manner of relieving concussion when the evolutions of the
loom are suddenly stopped.
In witness whereof, I, the said James Bullough, have hereunto set my
hand and seal, this Thirtieth day of March, in the year of our Lord
One thousand eight hundred and thirty-six.
JAMES (L.S.) BULLOUGH.
AND BE IT REMEMBERED, that on the Thirtieth day of March, in the
sixth year of the reign of His Majesty King William the Fourth, the said
James Bullough came before our said Lord the King in His Chancery, and
acknowledged the instrument aforesaid, and all and every thing therein con-
tained and specified, in form above written. And also the instrument aforesaid
was stamped according to the tenor of the Statute made in the fifty-fifth year
of the reign of His late Majesty King George the Third.
