PICKER-STICK FOR LOOMS.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Got. 29, 1918.
Application filed June 27, 1918. Serial No. 242,202.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, PHILIAS FONTAINE, a citizen of the United States of America, and resident of Fall River, in the county of Bristol and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Picker-Sticks for Looms, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to picker sticks for looms and particularly to an attachment adapted to support the sweep strap, socalled, at certain positions with relation to the said picker stick, and it is the purpose of this invention to provide novel means whereby the strap may be supported at different heights by reason of novel means which permits an adjustment of the support with relation to the stick without the necessity of providing a plurality of apertures in the stick, since it is found in practice that the production of a plurality of such apertures weakens the stick and impairs its durabilty.
A further object of this invention is to provide a support ofthe character indicated which, aside from the bolt by which it is secured to the picker stick, is formed in a single piece which can be readily applied to or removed or adjusted to suit the requirements in practice. With the foregoing and other objects in view, the invention consists in the details of construction, and in the arrangement and combination of parts to be hereinafter more fully set forth and claimed.
In describing the invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawings forming part of this specification wherein like characters denote corresponding parts in the several views, and in which- Figure l illustrates a perspective view of a fragment of a picker stick with the invention applied thereto;
Fig. 2 illustrates an edge view of the same; and
Fig. 3 illustrates a perspective view of the support slightly modified.
In these drawings 5 denotes a body having a plurality of apertures 6 which may be moved into alinement with the aperture 7 in the picker stick 8 so that thesaid body may be held at different positions of adjustment with relation to the picker stick.
The body has a curved neck 9 terminating in a cross head 10 which extends transversely of the edge of the picker stick and the said head is preferably conveXed to produce a surface to be engaged by the sweep strap, which surface will minimize the friction and wear on the said sweep strap.
The edge of the body 5 at its lower corner has a lug'll extending at right angles to the body and adapted to lie against the edge of the picker stick, so that the body cannot oscillate on the bolt 12 by which it is attached to the picker stick, it being understood that the bolt 12 passes through the aperture 7 of the picker stick and through one of the apertures of the body. The head 10 lies against the picker stick and prevents oscillation in one direction, whereas the lug 11 prevents oscillation in the opposite di rection and the body is therefore properly held in operative relation to the picker stick.v
In Fig. 3, I have illustrated a modified construction in which the body A has a slot 13 instead of the aperture as described in the first mentioned form and the body A in that modified construction has all of the other elements of the device shown in Fig. 1 which need not, it is thought, be described further.
It is to be understood that owing to the simplicity of this device, it can be inexpensively manufactured and that if made by casting, it will be durable and require little or no finishing after it is molded.
I claim- 1. In an attachment for picker sticks, a body having an opening therein for the reception of a bolt by which it is secured to a picker stick, a curved neck extending from the body, a cross head thereon adapted to extend across and engage the edge of a picker stick, and a lug on the said body be low the head for engaging the edge of a picker stick.
2. In an attachment for picker sticks, a body having an opening therein for the reception of a bolt by which it is secured to a picker stick, a curved neck extending from the body, a cross head thereon having a conveXed surface adapted to extend across and engage the edge of the picker stick, and a lug on the said body below the head for engaging the edge of a picker stick.
PHILIAS FONTAINE.
