Improvements in Looms for Weaving Cut Pile Fabrics.
We, MAX MOSER, of Holly Mount, Works Manager, and EUGENE SAGNIER, of
12, Queen's Terrace, Works Overlooker both in Rawenstall in the County of
Lancaster, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
In the present looms for weaving pile fabrics, long lateral wires are employed
put in and operated from the sides of the loom so as to form and cut the
loops and so produce the pile; this operation requires a slow beating up of the .
loom, especially in wide looms.
The object of our invention is to replace these long lateral or side wires, which
are costly, by substituting shorter longitudinal wires fixed in the loom parallel
to the direction of the warp, and on which we form the loops, and which upon
their advance upon the wires, are cut, and so the pile is formed in a simple
and inexpensive manner.
The loom is easier to work and can be worked at double speed, the shorter
wires costing much less in repairs than the long ones.
On the front of the loom is fixed a lateral bar, and on this a second bar upon
which are fixed (at one end) the short longitudinal wires; the other (open) ends
of these wires pass through the spaces between the reed and correspond to the
same in number.
A moveable comb is employed above these wires, the teeth or pins of this comb
corresponding to the reed spaces; the said comb is operated by fevers, connecting
rods, and eccentrics or tappets which give it the lateral movement so as to bring
the threads, which pass between the teeth of the said comb, over to the other
side of the wires.
By the jacquard and the said comb lowering the threads they are formed in
loops, and upon the beating up of the loom these loops receive a forward motion
on the wires to the bend upon same, where they are retained by the said bend
when the loom beats back.
The loops by the advance of the fabric are cut by the knives formed on the
wires themselves or by circular knives which may rotate within recesses formed
in the wires, and thus form the pile and allow the loom to work very much
quicker.
The wires may have a backward and forward movement given them to facili-
tate the quicker and more effective cutting of the loops, or other suitable means.
may be employed for cutting.

We, MAX MOSER, of Holly Mount, Works Manager, and EUGENE SAGNIER, of
12, Queen's Terrace, Works Overlooker both in Kawenstall in the County of
Lancaster, 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:-
In the present looms for weaving pile fabrics, long lateral wires are employed
put in and operated from the sides of the loom so as to form and cut the
loops and so produce the pile; this operation requires a slow beating up of the
loom, especially in wide looms.
The object of our invention is to replace these long lateral or side wires, which
are costly, by substituting shorter longitudinal wires fixed in the loom parallel
to the direction of the warp, and on which we form the loops, and which upon
their advance upon the wires, are cut, and so the pile is formed in a simple
and inexpensive manner. The loom is easier to work and can be worked at
double speed, the shorter wires costing much less in repairs than the long ones.
DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS.
Fig. 1 is a side elevation, in section, of part of loom with our improvements
applied.
Figs. 2 and 3 show elevation and plan of longitudinal wires.
Fig. 4 shows enlarged view of circular knives.
Fig. 5 shows front view of moveable comb, with its lateral movement
mechanism.
A is the front beam or roller over which the fabric passes to the taking up
roller, on the front of the loom is fixed a lateral bar B, and on this is a second
bar Cupon which are fixed (at one end) the short longitudinal wires 1); the
other (open) ends of these wires pass through the spaces between the reed E
and correspond to the same in number. A moveable comb F is employed above
these wires, the teeth or pins G of this comb corresponding to the reed spaces;
the said comb is operated by levers X, Q, and M, Y, K, and L, connecting
rods N and P, and eccentrics, cams, or tappets H and I, which lift the comb and
give it the lateral movement so as to bring the threads, which pass between the
teeth G of the said comb, over to the other side of the wires. The lateral move-
ment of the comb is effected by the eccentric or cam H and levers M, Q, X which
operate a wedge S acting between the frame and the end of the comb F (Fig. 5)
by alternately depressing and withdrawing same, whereby the comb is driven
laterally. A spring S¹ is fitted to draw the comb back to its original position on
the withdrawal of the wedge S.
The threads are formed in loops, and upon the beating up of the loom these
loops receive a forward motion upon the wires up to the bend Z upon same,
where they are retained by the said bend when the loom beats back."
The loops by the advance of the fabric are cut by the knives U₁ formed on
the said wires, or by circular knives U which may rotate within recesses formed
in the wires, and thus form the pile and allow the loom to work very much
quicker.
The wires if desired may have a backward and forward movement given them
to facilitate the quicker and more effective cutting of the loops, or other suitable
means may be employed for cutting.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is:
-
1. In looms for weaving pile fabrics the employment of short longitudinal
wires parallel to the direction of the warp, in combination with the moveable
comb operated by levers X, Q, and M, Y, R, and L, connecting rods N and P,
and eccentrics cams, or tappets H and I so as to form the loops, cut them, and
form the pile in a quick and effective manner, substantially as shown and
described.
