Application flledJune 18, 1809. Serial No. 502,450.

To all whomit may concern:

Be it known that I, EPPA H. RYoN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Worcester, in the county of Worcester and State of lVIassachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Warpers, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to a warper, and particularly to a creel warper, to wind the warps from creels upon beams.

The object of my invention is to improve upon the construction of creel warpers as now ordinarily made, and more particularly to improve upon the drive mechanism, and provide a pressure roll, in connection with the cone drive, to vary the speed of the warp beam, according to its diameter.

My invention consists in certain novel features of construction of my improvements as will be hereinafter fully described.

I have only shown in the drawings parts of a creel warper with my improvements applied thereto, sufiicient to enable those skilled in the art to understand the construct-ion and operation thereof.

Referring to the drawings :Figure 1 is a front view of a creel warper embodying my improvements, with some of the parts broken out, and looking in the direction of arrow (1, Fig. 2. Fi 2 is a vertical cross section, on line 2, 2, Fig. 1, looking in the direction of arrow 6, same figure. 'Fig. 3 is a cross section, taken at a point indicated by line 3, 3, Fig. 1, looking in the direction of arrow 5, same figure, and shows the cone drive 'detached; some of the parts shown in Fig. 1 are not shown in this figure; Fig. 4 is a vertical cross section, on line 4, 4, Fig. 1,

looking in the direction of arrow d, same figure.

In the accompanying drawings, 1 is the left hand side frame 0 the warper, 2 is the right hand side frame, and 3, and 4 are two cross girths, and 2 is a center girth. The left hand side frame 1 is provided n .h a bearing 1', to loosely receive the hub 5 of the spur gear 5. The hub 5 has in this instance a bore for the gudgeon or journal of the warp beam. The gear 5 has in this instance four spokes 5", see Fig. 2. Two of the spokes 5" are provided with elongated slots 5' for a stud 6, which rotates the beamhead, not shown, at the left. The end frame 2 has a bracket 7 secured thereon with a bearing 7 see Fig. 1, in which is adjustably secured, by a set screw 8, a sleeve bearing 9 for the other gudgeon or journal of the warp beam 10. The warp beam 10, only .one end of which is shown in Fig. 1, Has in this instance a beam-head 11.

The warp 12, see Fig. 4, passes in this instance from the creel, not shown, through the dents of a stationary comb 13, over a roll 14, and around the tension roll 16, and over a second roll 15, then through a second stationary comb 19, and over a roll 20 to the beam 10. The tension roll 16 is mounted in this instance on a shaft 17, which is provided with a brake or friction disk 18, in the usual way.

The pressure roll 21 extends longitudinally between the beam-heads, see Fig. 1, and is loosely held within recessed portions of heads 22 on two arms 22, which arms have hubs 22", adjustably secured by set screws 23 on a transverse shaft 24, see Fig. 4. The heads 22 carry rolls 22", mounted on pins 22, forming roller bearings for the pressure roll 21. One end of the shaft 24 has secured thereon an arm or lever '25, see Figs. 1, and 4. The lever 25 carries a grooved roll or sheave 26, around which passes a rope or chain 27,- one end of which is attached to a stationary part on the end frame 2. The rope or band 27 passes over a second roll or sheave 28, see Fig. 1, and

downwardly, and has attached to its end a weight bar 29, and weights 29, which .act. toforce the roll 21 against the warp on the beam 10. The shaft 24 has also secured there on a second arm 30, see Fig. 4, the end of which is pivotally connected by a link 31, with a stud 32, which is adjnstably secured in a slot in an arm 34, having its hub 34' loosely mounted on a stud 33. The arm 34 has the toothed segment 34" thereon, which meshes with and is adapted to rotate a bevel pinion 35 connected with a sheave 36, which is loosely mounted on a stud 37 on a stand 37 on the side frame 2, see Fig. 4. A rope or band 38 asses around the sheave 36, see Fig. 1, and also around sheaves 39 and 40, see Fig. 2. On the band 38-is secured a belt sliding fork 41, see Figs. 1 and 3, which is guided along a guide rod.

42. A belt 43, which passes around, the upper cone 44 and the lower cone 45, is carried toward the right in Fig. 1, by the fork 41, on the increasing of the diameter of the warp beam 10, as the warp 12 is wound thereon, to diminish the speed of the warp beam. The upper cone 4%, which is mounted on a shaft 44, is driven by a pulley 46, also fast on said shaft 44', see Fig. 1.

47 is a loose alley, to receive from't-he fast pulley afifthrough the belt shipper 47', the belt, not shown, for driving the pulley 46.

The cone to be driven, has its shaft 48 loosely mounted in bearings 49' on arms 49, see Figs. 2 and 3, which arms extend out from a sleeve 49" mounted on a shaft 50 having hearings in stands 50' on the end frame 1 and center girth 2. The inner arm 49 is provided in this instance with a lug 49", shown by broken lines in Fig. 3, through which extends a rod 51, which is pivotally mounted at its lower end on a stud 52 on the center girth 2, and has its upper end threaded to receive a nutwheel 53. which is turned in one direction or the other, as desired, to raise or lower the arms 49, to loosen or tighten the belt 43 c0m1ecting the cones 4-l and45. The shaft. 48 has mounted on its outer end a pinion, not shown, which meshes with and drives a gear 54, see Fig. 2, looselymounted on the shaft 50. Connected withthe gear 54 is a pinion 55 which meshes with and drives the gear 5.

Some parts are shown in the drawings, and are lettered therein, which are not particularly described herein, as they are not claimed as a part of my improvements in said yarn on the beam being wound, pivotally mounted arms to cooperate with said pressure roll, manually controlled means to vary the ressure on said roll, a pair of cones, a driving belt connecting said cones, and connections from said pressure roll to said belt,

connections including a pivotally mounted segment arm having teeth thereon, a pinion to mesh with said teeth, and having a drum fast thereto, a second rotatable drum, a cord passing around said drums and connected to said belt. Y

2. In a warper, a beam upon which the warp is wound, a pressure roll to bear against the yarn on said beam, means to ivary the pressure of said roll, a pair'of cones, a driving belt connecting said cones, and connections from said pressure roll to said belt, said connections including a segment arm, a pinion, two drums, and a flexible connection between'said dnums and said belt. v l
