application filed J 111 18, 1910. Serial No. 572,466.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, HOWARD D. COLMAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Rockford, in the county of Winnebago and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsin Textile-Machines, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to apparatus for operating'upon warps, as, for example, for tying two warps together.

The invention is herein exemplified in a textile machine which "is bodily movable past the apparatus that supports the various pieces of work, and in which the oper ating mechanism of the machine is arranged to travel upon the bed" of the machine.

Said operating mechanism includes a knot-' tying mechanism adapted to trimthe ends of the knotted threads to a uniform, short, length. I

One of the objects of the invention is to provide means, in amachine of'the character outlined, for removing the clipped-oil 5 ends of the knots formed by the knot-tying apparatus.

A further Ob ect of the invention 18 to improve the means for transmitting power to said traveling operating mechanism.

is a fragmental side elevation of one form of apparatus embodying the features of my invention. Fig. 2 is a fragmental top plan view of certain portions of said apparatus. Fig. 3 is an end elevation of the carriage on which the warp-tying mechanism is mounted. Fig. 4 is a section on line 4 4 of Fig. 2. Fig. 5 is a sectional view of the exhaust air tube with parts broken away. Fig. 6 is a section on line 6 of Fig. 5. Fig. 7 is adetail view of one of the grooved pulleys that supports the drive belt, illustrating the adjustable support of said pulley.

The warp-tying machine herein shown is arranged to be moved past one or more warp supports (not shown) of any suitable form,

and therefore said machine comprises a base 1 supported upon rollers 2 and 3, said rollers being arranged to run upon rails 4 and 5 laid upon the floor. The rail 5 is herein shown as groovedl-and the rollers 3 have flanges 6 thereon totravel in the groove of said rail. Rising from the base 1, are standards 7 which support the bed 8 of the warp-tying machine. On this bed is scribed.

mounted a carriage or slide 9 to support a suitable mechanism for selecting threads from the old and the new warp, and for uniting such. selected threads. This mechanism may be of any suitable character, as,

" for example, that fully illustrated and described in British Patent No. 10,484 of 1905.

Said mechanism comprises a knotter -ar-" ranged to trim the ends of the united threads to a predetermined length. The means for carrying off the clippings and for driving the mechanism will next be I provide a suitable rigid pst-ationary framework 10, which-frameworkfi'n the embodiment herein shown, includes an upright 11 and a horizontally extending elevated bar 12, said bar extending parallel with the path of movement of the warp-tying machine A drive belt 13 is supported upon pulleys carried by the framework 10. I haveher'ein shown only one of these pulleys, namely, the pulley 14 arranged at one end of the framework, it suitable pulley being provided for the belt at the opposite end of the framework. The belt 13 may be arranged to be driven in any suitable way, (not shown). Slack may be taken up in I the belt 13 in any preferred manner; herein In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 I have shown the pulley 14 as rotatably supported upona bracket 15, said bracket being adjustably secured to the casting 16 that connects the upright 11 to the horizontal bar 12.

Upon the head endof the base 1 is mounted a suitable air-current-creating means, as, for example, an exhaust fan.- In this instance the fan casing comprises a section 17 provided with lugs 18, by means of which it is fixed to the base 1. The fan casing further comprises a cover section 19 secured to the section 17. i I

Secured to the fan-casing section 17 is a bearing bracket 20 "provided with

bearings

21 and 22 for the fan shaft 23. A fan 24: of any suitable character is fixed upon the shaft 23 within the fan casing. Upon the shaft 23, between the bearings 2- 'and 22, isfixed a'grooved pulley 25 to reoelye the drive belt 13. Said belt isguided to the pulley 25 by two guide sheaves 26 mounted upon a bracket 27 which is carried at a suitable eleedinte'rmediate its ends to the bed '8 by casing.

One end of the system of ttt fln is connected to the rear end ot the exhaust tube 30 by means of a suitable connectitm. as. for instance, a universal joint. In this instance, I have shown a universal joint of the hall. and socket type. nhich best hown in Fig 3t a bracket l igs. and fixed to a post 32 atta hed to the carriage U.

In operation. the belt 13 drives the shat! which in turn communicates power through the belts t? and 5t to the warptying mechanism. and also causes rotation of the fan 24. lhc rotation ot the tan creates an exhaust air current in the tuhe Ittt. It will he seenthat the operating mechanism is in driven relation to the shat't 2) and that the exhaust tube 30 is in connnunication with the fan Qt in all positions ot the carriage 9 upon the lied 8.

In the present embodiment ot' the invention. the warp-tying machine operates up n successive sections ot the warps. .\ttcr the carriage St has operated upon a vsection ot the warps. the warp-tying machine is adrancml alone the track -t 5 into proper relation to the next succeeding Section of the warps. and is tixcd in such position by suitable mean such as a bra lie 53.
