BLEEDING-HOOK.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 2, 1916.

Application filed July 7, 1915. Serial No. 38,600.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, JOSEPH DEMYEN, a subject of the King of Hungary, residing at Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented new and useful Improvements in Reeding- Hooks, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to new and useful improvements in reeding hooks, and has for its object to provide an improved construction over the one shown in my Patent Number 1,135,675, dated April 13, 1915.

A further object of the invention is to provide an exceedingly simple and efiective reeding or threading hook whereby warp threads may be readily and quickly inserted in the reeds of a loom.

A still further object of the invention is to provide a reeding or threading hook for use upon reeding machines, said hook being so constructed as to provide a spiral which during the revolution thereof will move its carriage the proper distance for threading the warp through the proper places in the reed.

With these ends in view, my invention consists in the details of construction and combination of elements hereinafter set forth and then specifically designated by the claims.

In order that those skilled in the art to which this invention appertains, may understand how to make and use the same, I will describe its construction in detail, referring by numeral to the accompanying drawing forming a part of this application, in which Figure 1, is a side elevation or face view of my improved reeding hook. Fig. 2, is a similar view of the opposite side or face; Fig. 3, is an edge view thereof; and Fig. 4, is a face view of a modified form of my invention.

In carrying out my invention 2 represents the body of the reeding hook having two arcuate arms 4 and 5 the former being shorter in length than the latter. These arms are superimposed and project in opposite directions to each other from opposite edges of the body as plainly indicated in Figs. 1 and 3, thereby forming an arcuate slot 3 between the inner edges of said arms and the body.

The short arm 4 may be stamped from the body and the long arm 5 soldered or brazed to the body at the point where the free end of the short arm was cut from the body, the two arms lying against each other, thereby slightly offsetting said arms from the body, or both arms may be made integral with the body by forming two projecting strips with the body at opposite sides or edges equal to the width and length of the arms and then bending or drawing the said strips to the arcuate shape as by hammering or beating, and when so produced the space between the arms and body is the slot 3.

With the body is formed a neck 6 from which projects the head 7 terminating in a nose 8 and the edge of the head 7 lying adj acent the body forms with the adjacent edge of the body a circuitous passageway 9 leading to the eye 10 where the thread will be held against accidental withdrawal by means of the curved beak 11. Secured to the body is a suitable bearing 12 having an opening or bore 13 therethrough whereby the reeding hook may be readily mounted upon the reeding hook shaft of a reeding machine.

In use the reeding hook is placed upon the reeding hook shaft of a reeding machine and said shaft continuously revolves, thereby transmitting a continuous rotating movement to the reeding hook until the latter has passed from one end of the reed t0 the other longitudinally of the reeding machine. As the reeding hook is slidably mounted upon the reeding hook shaft, said hook is caused to move longitudinally along the shaft by one of the arms engaging the reed dents, each reed dent remaining between the arms until a complete revolution of the reeding hook is made, at which time the other arm will be disengaged therefrom after the manner of a screw or spiral.

The arrangement of the body and the resilient arms 4 and 5 is such as to form a single coil, so that as the reeding hook is revolved the free end of the resilient arm 5 will enter one of the spaces of the reed dents with said reed dent lying between said arm 5 and the body of the reeding hook. As the reeding hook continues to revolve it will reach a point where it is upsidedown or opposite to the position shown in the drawing. at which time the reed dent will be situated in the space 14 between the two arms 4 and 5, and when the reeding hook to insert the threads of the warp into the eye 10 of the hook by passing them through the circuitous passageway 9 opening at the edge of the body, when said hook willdraw the threads of the warp through the spaces between the reed dents and said threads will be prevented from becoming accidentally displaced from the eye 10 by the beak 11 until after the threads have been entirely drawn through the reed, at which time said threads will be drawn from the eye in any ordinary and well known manner.

From this description it will be seen that I have produced a reeding hook which will be relatively cheap in the cost of manufacture, one which is light in weight, although strong and durable, and one which can be made ofrelatively thin material, so as to be used with very fine reeds, and one in which the possibility of getting out of order will be reduced to a minimum.

In Fig. 4 I have shown my device constructed in a slightly modified manner, the difference being that the resilient arcuate arms 4: and 5 are placed on opposite sides to that shown in Figs. 1 to 3, thus providing a reeding hook which can be used to operate from right to left instead of fromleft to right on a reeding machine.

Of course I do not wish to be limited to the exact details of construction as herein shown, as these may be varied within the limits of the appended claims without departing from the spirit of my invention.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new and useful, is

1. A reeding hook comprising a body provided with means for receiving a thread and having a pair of oppositely projecting superimposed arcuate arms.

2. A reeding hook comprising a body and superimposed arms projecting in opposite directions from opposite sides or edges of the body and terminating near the edge of the body opposite the beginning points of said arms and on opposite faces of the body.

3. A reeding hook comprising a body having an open eye and provided with superimposed arms projecting in opposite directions to produce a coil.

4:. A reeding hook comprising a body, an arcuate arm projecting from one side of said body and terminating at a point opposite thereto, and another arm superimposed thereon and projecting in the opposite direction to the first named arm from that portion of the body adjacent the free end of the first named arm, said arms forming a slot between their inner edges and the body.

5. A reeding hook comprising a body having an open eye, an arcuate resilient short arm projecting from one side of said body and terminating at a point opposite thereto, and a longer arcuate arm superimposed thereon and projecting from the body adjacent the free end of the first named arm.

6. A reeding hook comprising a body having an open eye, an arcuate resilient short arm projecting from one side of said body and terminating at a point opposite thereto, a longer arcuate arm superimposed thereon and projecting from the body adjacent the free end of the first named arm, a bearing having a bore therethrough carried by the body, a neck projecting from said body, a head formed with said neck having an eye, one edge of said head and the edge of the body adjacent thereto forming a circuitous pasageway to said eye, and a beak formed with the head and projecting into the eye for preventing the accidental withdrawal of warp threads from said eye.

7. As an article of manufacture a reeding hook comprising a body and a pair 01 oppositely projecting superimposed arms carried by said body at opposite sides thereof.

8. As an article of manufacture a reeding hook comprising a body having an arcuate arm projecting therefrom, and another arcuate arm projecting in the opposite direction to and superimposed on the first named arm and carried by the body adjacent the free end of the first named arm.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto afiixed my signature in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
