CORA BARTLETT, OF CANADIAN COUNTY, OKLAHOMA.

RUG OR CARPET LOOM.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed September 30, 1907. Serial No. 395,313.

T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, Com BARTLETT, a citizen of the United States, residing in county of Canadian, State of Oklahoma, have invented a new and useful Bug or Carpet Loom, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to looms and has special reference to a loom for weaving rag carpets. I

One object of the invention is to provide a loom in which both the warp and the woof may be strands of rags.

Another object of the invention is to provide a loom of very simple construction and one adapted to be used without any skill on the part of the person using the same.

Another object of the invention is to provide a light and simple loom of the character described in which there are few moving parts and those not liable to get out of order.

With the above and other objects in View, the invention consists, in general, of a supporting frame provided with certain mechanisms mounted thereon for holding the warp and woof strands together with a drum on which to wind the finished carpets.

The invention further consists in certain novel details of construction and combinations of parts hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and specifically set forth in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, like characters of reference indicate like parts in the several views, and :Figure 1 is a plan view of a loom constructed in accordance with this invention. Fig. 2 is a front elevation of said loom. Fig. 3 is a section on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2. Fig. 4C is a partial section on the line 44 of Fig. 2 with certain pins omitted. Fig. 5 is a partial side elevation showing the means for holding the winding drum in adjusted position. Fig. 6 is a perspective view of one of the operating handles.

The character G represents the front side members of the machine frame and these preferably consist of a pair of flattened posts or uprights held in parallel relation. To the rear of these are a similar pair of uprights 6, the latter being preferably considerably shorter than the uprights G. The upper ends of the uprights e are connected to the uprights G by members J and the lower ends are similarly connected. EX- tending across the lower front portion of the device is a transverse member H and a similar member extends across the lower rear portion to hold the lower ends of the slde frames in proper relation. Carried on the front member H and the lower members J is a foot rest F. On the upper front face of the members G is carried a transverse member K and at the extreme upper rear portion of the members G is a similar transverse member M. At L is shown what I preferably term a front pin board and at L is a similar rear pin board. The proximate edges of these boards are spaced apart as indicated at m and along the edges are arranged a double series of pins X and X the pins of the two series being equal in number and disposed opposite each other.

Patented Oct. 24, 19111.

The rear pin board terminates short of the V members G so that there is a space between each of the members G and the end of the board as shown in Fig. 1. Mounted in suitable bearings C held in the members G is a shaft Z provided at one end with a collar U and at the other end with a collar U and at each end in the slots Y with a toothed woof wheel Forming the forward edge of the pin board L is a transverse guide board K in which the pins X are set. These woof wheels are so arranged that the woof strands may be let backward and forward over the pointed teeth and as the wheels revolve may be carried down through the slot m.

In order that the proper position of the woof wheels may be maintained the end of the shaft Z is reduced as shown at V and upon this reduced portion is pivotally mounted a crank handle Z provided with a locking pin 6 arranged to enter one of a series of holes formed concentrically on a plate D. By means of this construction, the handle may be swung away and the pin 25 re leased from any one of the holes, the handle turned to the desired position, and the pin 25 entered in another hole.

The rear members 6 support a shaft V having mounted thereon a winding drum S provided with the crank handle Z arranged similar to that previously described.

Formed in the front and rear pin boards L and L respectively and directly behind the pins X and X are longitudinal series of seats 0 the recesses of one row being offset with respect to the recesses in the other row. Thus it will be observed that in the row contiguous to the pins the said recesses these teeth turn until the strand is brought just below the top of the pin boards L and L The spools 0 upon the front pin board are now moved to be interchanged with those on the rear pin board and a second strand of woof is laid and revolved as before. The continuation of this operation may be aided by forcing the crossed warp strands firmly down with a beater-bar, not necessary here to be shown. As the operation continues the drum S is-rotated by means of its crank handle from time to time to keep aproper tension on the warp strands. The spool 0 here shown is indicated as resting on one of the pin boards and is to be taken merely as indicative of a suitable device on which to wind the warp strands.

It is obvious that any style of weaving may be performed with this device as it is not necessary with the laying of each of the woof strands to interchange all of the spools but certain of the spools may be moved at one time, and others at another so as to produce a pattern if desired. It is further obvious that minor changes may be made in the form and construction of this invention without departing from the material prin ciples thereof. It is not therefore desired to confine the same to the exact form herein shown and described but it is wished to include all such as properly come within the scope of the invention.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new, is 2- 1. In a device of the kind described, a frame, a pair of spaced pin boards each provided with a row of spaced pins, the pins on one board being disposed opposite to and equal in number to the pins on the other board, woof wheels disposed at the ends of said pin boards and adjacent the space between said boards, said woof wheels being provided with teeth adapted to travel across the ends of the space between said pin boards, and a fabric winding drum.

2. In a device of the kind described, a frame, a pair of spaced pin boards each provided with a row of spaced pins, the pins on one board being disposed opposite to and equal in number to the pins on the other the ends of the space between said pin boards,

a fabric winding drum, means to rotate said woof wheels, and means to hold the same in adjusted position.

3. In a device of the kind described, a

frame, a pair of spaced pin boards each provided with a row of spaced pins, the pins on one board being disposed opposite to and equal in number to the pins on the other board, woof wheels disposed at the ends of said pin boards and adjacent the space between said boards, said woof wheels being provided with teeth adapted to travel across the ends of the space between said pin boards, a fabric winding drum, a shaft supporting said woof wheels, means to rotate said woof wheels, a pivoted hand lever held upon said shaft, a plate surrounding the shaft at the hand lever end and provided with a series of perforations concentric to the shaft, and a pin carried on the hand lever adapted to enter in one of said perforations.
