To all whom may concern.'

Be it known that I, FRED MAUE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Shaniolrin, in the countv of Northumberland and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Handing-ln Mechanism, of which the following is a specification.

The present invention relates to inechanism for handing-in the warp threads, in the operation of passing the saine through the loops or eyes in the heddle or har ess wires. f

It is the general practice to employ two operators in drawing-in the warp threads through the heddle eyes. Cnc operator is positioned upon one side of the heddle` while the assistant operator is positioned upon the opposite side. The assistant. operator alternately selects a warp thread from the two bunches ot warp threads. which are previously crossed, and hands each selected warp thread to the drawing-in operator, who draws the saine through the eye of the heddle.

Attempts have heretofore been inade to dispense with the assistant operator, tor handing-in the selected warp thread.

' ln accordance with the present invention, the construction of such a machine is greatly siinplihed, and its operation rendered easier. The machine is operated by a single pedal, and no operating parts are mount-ed upon any of tie lease rods of the lease traine. The stationary clanip for holding the ends oit the two bunches of warp threads is dispensed with, while the ends or" the bunches are maintained separate, and are held within separate clanips or holders, which are shifted laterally with respect to each other. The device is therefore entirely separate troni the lease frame, and is therefore rendered entirely portable, and may be quickly shifted to dil'l'ei'ent positions with respect to the lease Jtraine, or readily inoved from one lease 'traine to aiother.

In the accompanying drawings torining a part of this speciiication and in .vhich like numerals are employed to designate lilieparts throughout the saine,

numerals

10 and 11 designate lease rods, included in the usual lease traine. The nuineral 1Q designates longitudinal bars or' the heddle or saddle traine, and 13 the heddle wires, provided with the usual eyes 14, through which is passed a hook or eleinent 15, employed in drawing-in the warp threads. This is the usual construction, as is well known in the art, andwhich is illustrated in Patent No. 1,067,602,

The handing-in mechanism, constituting` the present invention, embodies a base 1 6. which is unattached to the floor, and renders the entire mechanism portable. Foi-ined upon the upper side ol the base is a vertical sleeve 17, li a vertical tubular standard 1,8, clarnpcd therein. This standard receives a reciprocatory rod 19, which cylindrical. rlfhis rod does not turn upon its longitudinal artis, but is slidable longitudinally within bearings and 21, clan'iped within the tubular standard 18. The lower end of the rod 19 carries upon one side thereof a trunnion or pivot 22, operating within an elongated slot 2?, Jorined in a crank or arin 24.

This crank or arm is clamped upon a rock shaft 25, journaled in a bearing 26, rigid upon thoase 16. The rock shaft Q6 has a pedal 2T rigidly secured to its ree end. lt is obvious that the operator may place her foot upon the pedal 27, and by swinging the saine in opposite directions, cause the rod 19 to reciprocate.

rllhe numeral 28 designates a horizontal casing or support, carrying a depending sleeve 29, preferably integral therewith, which is clamped to the tubular standard 18. rllhe casing or support 28 is arranged horizontally, and is parallel with the rock shaft 25.

The numerals 3() and 3l dtsignate shift ing boxes or carriers, which are sldable longitudinally within the casing or support 28, and are held spaced from each other by a horizontal strip 32, attached to the upper end of the casing 2S. The upper end ot the casing QS is otherwise open while its bottom is Closed. The box or

carriers

30 and 31 are equipped with depending bases 32, provided with longitudinal racks 33, arranged upon their innr taces. These racks engage the opposite sides ot' a gear 3st, having a central opening. slidably receiving the upper end of the rod 19. rlhe upper portion of this rod is provided with a spira-l groove 35, and the gear 34 is provided with an inwardly projecting pin or stud 36. which enters the spiral groove 35. The gear Bel is tree to rotate but cannot move vertically, and tor this purpose, open brackets 3G. are arranged upon opposite sides ot thi upper end of the rod 19, within the casing 28, and have openings 37, into and through which the gear 34 projects. The upper and lower faces ot each bracket 36 are provided with curve-...l race-ways 38, receiving bearing balls 39. engaging within circular race-ways 4.0, termed in the upper and lower trices of the gear 34E.

Mounted within the boxes or carriers 3() and 3l are. clamps or holding elements 4l and 42, receiving the ends ot' the two bilnches 13 and all. ot the warp threads. These clamps are preferably identical. and may be ot' any suit-able construction. For the purpose of illustration, clamps are shown, embodying sides 45, hinged together at 4G. The free ends ot' the clamps are detachably connected by bolts 47 or the like. It desired. a strip of fibrous material 4S may be held within the clamps, in engagement with the warp threads. The clamps. are mounted within the boxes or carriers, and are held. therein against upward displacement, by tying elements 49. detachably connected with the boxes or carriers 30, and extending ov r the clamps, as shown.

It is thus seen that the clamps are removably held within the boxes or carriers. It is obvious that the clamps have sulicient frictional engagement with the warp threads in th bunches to hold them against accidental displacement, but will permit of the selected warp thread being withdrawn 'from the clamp, by the operator, without disturbing` the remainingwarp threads.

In operation, the bunches 43 and a4 of the warp threads. are passed upon on` side of the upper lease rods l0. and these bunches are then passed upon opposite sides ot the lower lease rod 1l. The bunches are Y operation. As clearly illustrated in Figure G. the first warp thread B to the right; belonging in bunch el. is lett free, while the remaining warp threads are crossed and interlaced. The Yarp thread designat'd by B. may now be drawn through the eye 14 ot the heddle. When this is done, the operator shi't'ts the pedal 27 whereby the bor 31 is shifted to the right, and box 30 to the lett. as shown in Figure 7. rlhis movement will release the warp thr ad C ot' the bunch 43. while the remaining warp threads are retained interlaced. This operation is continued until each warp thread in turn is selected and released. and drawn through the eye of the heddle.

Vlt is to be understood that the form of this inv ntion herewith shown and described is to be taken as a preferred example of the same. and that various changes in the shape, size, and arrangement ot parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit ot' the invention or the scope oli' the subjoined claims.
