METHOD OF IIIAKING. HEADS.

.Application filed November 29, 1919. Serial No. 341,437.

T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRANK Mossnnno, a citizen of the United States and resident of Attleboro, in the county of Bristol and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Methods of Making Beam Heads, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to heads for warp beams, reels and like devices and to the method of constructing the same; and the invention has for its object to provide such a head by providing a disk or body and then bending a strip into ring form and attaching the ring onto the periphery of the disk by welding or otherwise to form an annular peripheral groove for the head whereby such a grooved head is produced with the maximum strength and of the minimum weight and minimum cost of construction.

lVith these and other objects in View, the invention consists of certain novel features of construction, as will be more fully described, and particularly pointed out in the appended claim.

In the accompanying drawing:

Figure 1is an end view of my improved beam-head illustrating the grooved ring secured to the periphery of the disk portion of the head.

Figure 2is a side elevation showing the head portion as sectioned on line 2-2 of Figure 1.

Figure 3-shows a portion of the bar which is bent into ring form and secured to the edge of the disk, said. bar being grooved after being attached to said disk. l Figure 4eis a perspective view showing a portion of the groove or channel bar which is bent into ring form and subsequently attached to the periphery of the disk of the head.

Figure 5-is a side elevation of the bar member bent into ring form with its ends abutting.

I have herein shown and described the construction of a head member which may be employed for beams, reels and other similar articles of manufacture, which head portion is formed essentially of a disk having a grooved or channelled member secured to the periphery thereof, said channel or groove being for the purpose of receiving a friction band or belt to Which tension may be applied for the purpose of controlling the rotation of the beam as the yarn or warp is drawn from the body portion thereof.

l/Vith reference to the drawings, 10 designates the body or barrel portion of the beam or reel which is preferably made in tubular form, the ends of which are secured to the opposite head members 11 by means of bolts 12 or other suitable fastenings.

Each of these head-members is preferably constructed of a main plate 13 of any suit able material preferably being cut from sheet stock into disk form. In order to forman annular groove or channel of the desired width about the periphery of this disk I bend a strip 14 of metal into the form of a ring 15 and weld the abutting ends together as at 16; 1 then secure this ring by welding or otherwise to the edge of the disk 13.

In some cases this ring is formed from a channelled bar 14 as illustrated in Figure 4, which bar is bent into the form of a ring with its abutting ends 16 welded together. This ring is then secured by welding or otherwise to the edge of the disk 13 thereby providing an annular or circumferential groove 17 in the head which is adapted to receive a belt, band or other device for the purpose of applying friction to control the rotation of the head or forother purposes.

In some instances instead of employing a previously channelled bar as illustrated. in Figure 4., the ring is formed of a solid bar 18 as best shown in Figure 3, and a groove is subsequently formed in this ring by placing the head on centers and turning the channel therein which insures the true running of the same.

By the construction of my improved form of annular channel in the beam-head the inner edge of the groove may be substantially in line with the plane of the outer face of the disk which is of advantage as this overhanging or lateral offset of the groove for practical purposes should be reduced to the minimum.

I claim:

The method of forming a beam or reel head, which consists in bending a troughshaped strip of metal into ring form, Welding together the abutting ends of the strip and Welding this ring onto the edge of a metal disk thereby providing an annular overhanging peripheral belt-receiving grooved rim for the head. I

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.

FRANK MO SSBERG.
