and Beaming Machines.
We JOHN HOWARD STOTT of Baron Street Works, Baron Street, Rochdale in the
County of Lancaster, Machine-Maker and JAMES SMITH of Mill Hill, Spotland,
Rochdale aforesaid, Mechanic, do hereby declare the nature of our invention for
IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MACHINES KNOWN AS SECTIONAL WARPING AND BEAMING
MACHINES to be as follows:-
Our invention relates to the machines known as sectional warping and beaming
machines and consists in arrangements by which the yarn or thread to be warped or
beamed is caused to be so wound upon the bowls or blocks employed in such sectional
warping and beaming machines that the "sections" into which such yarn or thread is
formed, are more firmly wound than they have hitherto been and that such "sections"
when wound are less liable to injury and capable of being more readily unwound than
they have hitherto been.
In accomplishing the object of our invention we cause the yarn or thread while
being wound upon the bowls or blocks employed in sectional warping and beaming
machines, to be traversed from side to side between the flanges or plates between
which the "sections" are wound in sectional warping and beaming machines.
[
"
In order to traverse the yarn or thread from side to side as above-mentioned we
cause the measuring roller over or under which the yarn or thread passes before
being wound upon the section in each of the sectional warping and beaming
machines abovementioned; to be moved to and fro in the direction of its axis by
means of a cam or by any other suitable means; or instead of causing the said
measuring roller to be moved to and fro we employ another roller or rollers or a bar
or guide or bars or guides, over, under or through which we cause the yarn or thread
to pass, which roller or rollers or bar or guide or bars or guides we cause to be moved
to and fro in the direction or directions of its or their length or lengths by means of
a cam or cams or any other suitable means.

We JOHN HOWARD STOTT of Baron Street Works Baron Street Rochdale in the
County of Lancaster Machine Maker and JAMES SMITH of Mill Hill Spotland
Rochdale aforesaid Mechanic 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:-
Our invention relates to the machines known as sectional warping and beaming
machines and consists in arrangements by which the yarn or thread to be warped or
beamed is caused to be so wound upon the bowls or blocks employed in such sectional
warping and beaming machines that the "sections" into which such yarn or thread is
formed are more firmly wound than they have hitherto been and that such "sections"
when wound are less liable to injury and capable of being more readily unwound than
they have hitherto been.
In accomplishing the object of our invention we cause the yarn or thread while
being wound upon the bowls or blocks employed in sectional warping and beaming
machines, to be traversed from side to side between the flanges or plates between
which the "sections" are wound in sectional warping and beaming machines.
In order to traverse the yarn or thread from side to side as above mentioned we
cause the measuring roller over or under which the yarn or thread passes before being
wound upon the "section" in each of the sectional warping and beaming machines
above mentioned to be moved to and fro in the direction of its axis by means of a cam
or by any other suitable means or instead of causing the said measuring roller to be
moved to and fro we employ another roller or rollers over or under which we cause
the yarn or thread to pass, which roller or rollers we cause to be moved to and fro in
the direction or directions of its or their length or lengths by means of a cam or
cams or any other suitable means.
In the drawing hereunto annexed Fig. 1 is a plan, Fig. 2 a side elevation and
Fig. 3 a view shewing upon an enlarged scale a portion of that which is shown in
Fig. 1 Figs. 1, 2, and 3 show so much of one of the machines known as sectional
warping and beaming machines as is requisite to show our invention and the manner
in which the same is to be carried into effect-The same letters of reference are
applied to corresponding parts in all the figures of the drawing-a. is one of the end-
frames of the machine-To the end frame a, a bracket b. is secured by bolts, c. In the
bracket b. are formed bearings in which and capable of being rotated therein is
mounted a shaft d-The shaft d is prevented by means of collars from being
moved longitudinally-Mounted upon the shaft d is the measuring roller e. which
measuring roller e. is capable of being slidden longitudinally upon the shaft d. but is
prevented from being turned upon such shaft d by means of keys secured to the
shaft d. and grooves formed in the bosses e¹, e² of the measuring roller e. In the
boss e² we form an inclined groove or cam y. in which is situate a bowl or roller h.
mounted upon a stud j. secured by a nut to a projecting part 63 formed upon the
bracket b,, are the plates or flanges between which is the bowl or block m. upon

page_text: which the " warp section is wound. n. is the usual expanding guide by means of
which the width of the "section" being wound is governed-The yarns or threads
being wound after passing through the guide n. pass over the measuring roller e. and
are then wound upon the bowl or block m-The yarns or threads are indicated in
Fig. 2 by the dotted lines A. The yarns or threads in their passage over the
measuring roller e. cause such roller e. to rotate and the sides of the inclined groove
or cam g. acting against the bowl or roller . will cause the measuring roller e. to be
traversed to and fro longitudinally upon the shaft d-The to and fro movement of the
roller e. will cause the yarns or threads while being wound upon the bowl or block m.
to be traversed between the plates or flanges 1, 1, first in a direction towards the plate
or flange and then in a direction towards the plate or flange 1.
The yarns or threads to be wound into the "sections" are so adjusted by means of
the guide
n. that their width is such that the movement of the measuring roller e.
caused by the inclined groove or cam g. will cause the "sections" when wound to be
the full width between the plates or flanges l, -By forming the groove or cam g.
more or less inclined to the axis of the roller e. a greater or less amount of motion
may be imparted to the roller e.
Fast upon the shaft d is a worm
which as the shaft d. rotates imparts motion to
the worm-wheel to actuate the apparatus employed in sectional warping and
beaming machines for the purpose of indicating the "cut" and recording the length
of warp wound.
Although in the drawing hereunto annexed we have only shown the roller e. as
being traversed to and fro longitudinally by means of an inclined groove or cam g.
we would have it understood that we do not confine ourselves to such mode of
traversing the roller e. as the said roller e may be traversed to and fro longitudinally
in any convenient way.
65
We would also have it understood that in some instances instead of traversing the
measuring roller to and fro in the direction of its axis as above described we cause the
yarns or threads in their passage from the measuring roller to the bowl or block upon
which the sections" is to be wound, to pass over or under another roller or rollers
to which we impart a to and fro motion in the direction or directions of its or their
axis or axes by means of a cam or cams or any other suitable means so that the said
yarns or threads will be traversed for the purpose above mentioned from side to side
between the flanges between which the "sections
are wound.
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:-
The herein before described arrangements for causing the yarns or threads being
wound in each of the machines known as sectional warping or beaming machines, to
be wound into a "section" in the hereinbefore described manner for the purposes
herein before mentioned which arrangements consist in causing the said yarns or
threads to pass either over or under the measuring roller which is caused to move to
and fro in the direction of its axis or over or under another roller or rollers which is
or are caused to move in the direction or directions of its or their axis or axes.
