LGOM ATTACHMENT.

Lieeeee.

l To all 1r/ioni it may conferir j Be it known that PETER REEL?, a. citizen of the United States, and a resident ci' Passaic, in the county of Passaic and di News' Jersey, have invented e new and inproved Loon/1 Attachment, of Winch the following is a full, clear, end esenti description.

The object of the invention. is to provide a new and improved leoni attachment zirrenged to insure the formation of u perfect selvzige o.; preventing nickiug thereof and to allow forming of fringes by the weft.

In order to accomplish the desired' result use is inode jof e iooper controlled by the lay and adapted to engege'tlie weft ator adjacent to the selva/ige to hold 'the weft during the return ino-vement of the siuttle, the looper being moved into inactive. position by the lay during the beating up neoveinent thereof end the louper returning to ee tive position prior to starting the shuttle through the open shed.

A practical embodiment of the invention represented in tnfe :icooinpu ing drenn ings forming a. permet this specdioetion, in which similar charaeters of reference indi ente corresponding pierts iu all the views.

Figure i is e plenriew of of loom provided with the attachment, the lutter being snown mounted on the temples; Fig. is en. enlarged side elevation of the attachment on one of the temples; and Fig. is an en lei-ged iden `view of the 'abriozind showing' the looper in position for iwlding the 'weft :it one side the ifnlirie during the return movement or' the siiuttie. l

The iooin on uliieii the attachment is used muy be of any approved construction, and the iooni is shown in Fig. l being mount-` ed on n freine A supporting e oioth boem E on which are attached tile. housings C of the usual temples C. The loonris further pro* vided with :i lay, the upper purtof which is shown in the drawing. l) indicating the luy hand rail, D the reed through which the i p threads pass. und l)L the cross bur or t-e ley proper. The looin is also provided .with :L shuttle E for carrying e weft thread @through thev open shed of the warns Y). The attachment is shown mounted on die temples fr; and for this purpose euch temple C 'is provided with e transverse stud ,ii on which is mounted to swing the iower end of an erin G haring en upward extension Gf Specification of Letters Patent.

The return movement of the arm G is limited by the bottom of the eXtensionG abutting against the top of. the temple C.

On the erm G is adjustably secured s lon gitudinnllyextending rod I by the use of nuts I', l2 engaging threaded portions of the seid. rod as vplainly indio-ated in Fig. Q. The rear end of the rod is provided with an eye I3 in which is secured the shank of e transwisely-extending looper J by the use of nuts J', J sere-Wing on the threaded portion of the sliunfr and abutting against the opposite feces of lie eye. i3. The inner end of the iooper d provided with e downwardly-extendii point or'hook J 3 adapted to engage. the weft JL the back thereof prior to the return of the shuttle E from the correspondine` side or' thelooiu.

By making the looperJ adjustable in u transverse direction the point J3 may be moved nearer Le er farther from the outermost warp time causing e, fringe to be formed by the weft a at the edge of the fabric.

l also be noticed that by adjusting .l in :i transverse direction the may i e ser to pass between the outermost ".rzirps f. if it desired to do so, it laeingz understood tliet even in this ense the. ioops u. formed by the weft i are vprevented from uieiiingf the selmgre or side edge or" the inieir. il'lxen the if@ moves foi-wurd for Meeting in the Wei, the luy hund rail l) en gngres the extension G of the. :1mi G thus i1uportino" :i the :ii-m i wherein-y the rod is swung upward ind with it the looper J so that the point Il? t" reef Patented June S, 1915.
