4 The' licle'rshatt' 17 is continuously oscil-Y latedJ from.' the shaft 18'` through the pitman 19 which connects! the shaft crank 20'With thearinQl, WhichV depends from the 'shaft' 17. [.The'ya'rm orthe'lil'e,' islled through'the Shih catcher" and tension" device '242,A the drop Wire 1,4I andoverl' tlieguide hair' tothe cop.

The' nianually7V .controlled means acting` through al portion ot'the' stop vmotion mechanism for automatically starting the. vvind-- ing-:oft theoc'op is constructed, arrangedY and operated as follows.:

VA' startingjhand lever 24; is loosely pivoted on'lthe'shait" 13;` carried by the plate lever'l, which handlever tends', by gravity, to swing to the limit ofits outward movement, avvay from' the 'l plate lever.l v v A startingliclier 2'is vcarriedl'by' the con'- tifnuou'sly' osellatngsliat '17T inf di fferent plane from that o'tthe' stop kicker 16.` A pa'vvlisgpivot'edon the startinghand lever 241: inV position to' loemove'dX into? tlie'pathjot the, sjtar'tn'g'jkclier1 xfvhen the starting ,lia-nd l'ever 24e' is" moved to the limit lof" its inward movement toward theplatelever 1 and thefplate" lever' is at Vth`e"lint1it' of its in wardfmcvement'. K K

' As the starltingfhand lever 24' tendsghy gravity to s'wing'outivardly away" fromthe stop motion plate lever 1', and to therfeliy litt the paivl out of the p`jatlilo-t3 the oscillating; starting kiclier'; l provide a= latch 27, tpivoted at 28 tothe hand lever for f temporarily lo'eliiig"` lthe handl'ever at the' limit of' its inward.4 movement With' the paW'l in the path'of'tlie startingkicker. This is accomplished" loy, causing L the f1`"`ee'end of the said latch to rest upon the oscillating kicker shaft until it is disengaged therefrom. My automatic starting mechanism is placed in operation as follows:

l will assume that the stop motion plate lever l has been rocked from its run position, shown in TEig. l to its stop position, shown in Fig. 2.

After the yarn, or the like, is ready for Winding, the starting hand lever 24 is manually rocked inwardly toward the stop motion plate lever 1 until the paivl 26 has been moved into the path of the starting kicker 25 and until the latch 27 has been brought into engagement with the oscillating kicker shaft 17. rlhe latch Will then temporarily hold the parts in this position. If the paivl happened to be brought into the path of the starting kicker in back of the kicker, the paivl Will ride over the kicker as the kickerl moves rearwardly and then dropped into position in front of the kicker. The kicker, in its forward movement, will engage the paivl and through it, rock the stop motion plate lever and the parts carried thereby, to the limit of the outward movement of the plate lever Where it will be yieldingly held by the spring 5. This movement Will permit the cop holder 7 to drop the cop into engagement with the driving roll 6 and thus start the .Winding of the cop. rlhis outward movement of the stop motion plate lever Will release the latch 27 from its engagement with the continuously oscillating kicker shaft 17, thereby permitting the starting hand lever 2a to drop, by gravity, to the limit of its outward movement,vthus raising the paWl 26v out of the path of the oscillating start-- ing kicker 25.

It is evident that various changes m'ay be resorted to in the construction, form and arrangement of the several parts Without departing from the spirit and scope of my invention; hence, I do not intend to be limited to the particular embodiment herein shown and described, but What I claim is l. A Winding Vmachine stop motion including the kicker shaft, and a manually controlled automatic starter comprising a starting kicker on said shaft, and means arranged to be move-d into the path of the kicker.

t. A Winding machine stop motion including the kicker shaft and the plate lever operated thereby, and a manually controlled automatic starter also operated by said kickershaft, comprising a kicker on said shaft, a hand lever mounted on said lever, said hand lever having an element arranged to be moved into the path of the said kicker, and a device carried by the hand lever for temporarily locking the lever vvith said element in the path of the said kicker.

5. A Winding machine stop motion including the kicker shaft' and the plate lever operated thereby, and a manually controlled automatic starter also operated by said kicker shaft, comprising a kicker on said shaft, a hand lever mounted on said lever, said hand lever having an element arranged to be moved into the path of the said kicker, and a device carried by the hand lever for termporarily locking the lever With said element in the path of the said kicker, said device being automatically released by the forward movement of the said kicker.

6. A Winding machine stop motion including the kicker shaft and the plate lever operated thereby, and a manually controlled automatic starter also operated by said kicker shaft, comprising a kicker 0n said shaft, and a hand lever mounted on said plate lever, said hand lever having a paivl arranged to be moved into the path of the said kicker.

7. A Winding machine stop motion including the kicker shaft and the plate lever operated thereby, and a manually controlled automatic starter also operatedy by said kicker shaft, comprising a kicker on said shaft, a hand lever mounted on said plate lever, said hand lever having a pavvl arranged to be moved into the path of the said kicker, and a latch carried by said hand lever, arranged to be brought into engagement With said shaft, for temporarily locking the lever With said paivl in the path of the said kicker.

' 8. A Winding machine stop motion including the kicker shaft and the plate lever operated thereby, and a manually controlled automatic starter also operated by said kicker shaft, comprising a kicker on said shaft, a hand lever mounted on said plate lever, said hand lever having a paWl arranged to be moved into the path of the said kicker, and a latch carried by said hand lever arranged to bel brought into engagement with said shaft, for temporarily locking the lever with said pavvl in the path of the said kicker, said latch being automatically released by the forward movement of said kicker.

9. A Winding machine stop motion including the kicker shaft and the plate lever operated thereby and a manually controlled automatic starter also operated by said kicker shaft, comprising a kicker on said shaft, a hand lever mounted on said plate lever, said hand lever having a` pavvl arranged to be moved into the path of the said kicker, a latch carried by said hand lever arranged to be brought into engagement With said shaft, for temporarily locking the lever with said pawl in the path of the said kicker, said latch being automatically released by the forward movement of said kicker, and said hand lever being operated, by gravity, when released, to automatically rock into its non-starting' position.

10. A Winding machine stop motion including the kicker shaft and the plate lever operated thereby, and a manually controlled automatic starter also operated by said kicker shaft, comprising a kicker on said shaft, a hand lever pivoted on said plate lever provided With a pawl arranged to be moved by said hand lever into the path of the said kicker, and a latch carried by the said hand lever, arranged to be brought into engagement with the said shaft, for temmovement of the said kicker.

11. A winding machine stop motion inoluding the kickerl shaft and the plate lever operated thereby, and a manually Controlled automatic starter also operated by said kickerl shaft, comprising a kicker on said shaft, a hand lever pivoted on said plate lever provided With a paWl arranged to be moved by said hand lever into the path of the said kicker, alatch carried by the said hand lever, arranged to be brought into engagement With the said shaft, for temporarily locking the lever With the pawl in the path of the said kicker, said latch being automatically released by t-he forward movement of the said kicker, and said hand lever being operated, by gravity, when released, to automatically rock into its nonstarting posit-ion.

In testimony, that I claim the foregoing as my invention, I have signed my name this 29th day of April 1924:.
