. 1,551,699 PATENT OF IC MASSACHUSETTS, ASSIGNOR TO CROMPTON & KNOWLES LOOM WORKS, or WORCESTER, MASSACHUSETTS, A CORPORATION or MASSACHUSETTS.
KNIFE-BAR Eon CARPET LooMs.
Application filed April 11, 1923. Serial- No. 631,435.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, IVILLIAM IV. Bonner soN, a subject of the King of Great Britain, residing at Worcester, in the county of 'Worcester and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Knife Bar for Carpet Looms, of which the following is a specification. V
This invention relates to carpet looms and particularly to an improved form of knife bar for use in such looms.
Carpet looms of the Aiiminster type are ments and combinations of parts which will.
be hereinafter described and more particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
A. preferred form of the invention .is shown in the drawings, in which g I Fig. 1 is a sectional transverse. elevation of certain parts of an Axminster loom;
Fig.2 is a partial front elevation of my improved knife bar;
Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional elevation of the bar, taken along the line 33 in Fig. 2, and I v Fig. 4 is a longitudinal sectional elevation of the bar, taken along the line 4.-4t in Fig. 1.
Referring to the drawings, I have shown a portion of a loom side'lO, a front knife bar 11, and a. reed or comb 12 supported on a lay 13. The front knife bar 11 is movably mounted upon levers 14: and the lay 13 is mounted for forward and rearward movement upon supporting members 15 Tube frames 16 and spools 17 are presented to the fabric by supporting arms or levers 18 movable by actuating mechanism not shown.
The parts thus far described are of the usual type and form no part of my present invention, which relates particularly to the construction of the back knife bar 20. The
It has been heretofore customary to form the bar 20 as a single solid casting having as large a cross-section as the limited available space would permit. In my improved bar, however, I form the casting with a recess 2% preferably cored therein and I also provide a projection or partial partition 25 A tension or tie rod 26 extends lengthwise through the bar 20 in the recess 24.. The tie rod passes under the projection 25 and the, ends of the rod project through openings in the ends of the bar 20 and are provided with nuts'27 threaded thereon The parts of the tie rod on opposite sides of the partition 25 are angularly disposed and out of alignment with each other, thus producing the effect of a truss. The ends of the bar 20 are raised slightly so as to permit a straight pull at each end of the tie rod 26.
By tightening the nuts 27, any desired tension may be placed upon the bar 20 and the back knife 28 mounted thereon may be held in accurate alignment. lVhile this im provement involves a relatively simple change in construction, the advantages at tained thereby are exceedingly important, as the production of a satisfactory and uniform fabric is absolutely dependent upon accurate alignment of the pile cutting knives. 7
Having thus described my invention, I do not wish to be limited to the details herein disclosed otherwise than asset forth in the claims but what Iclaim is 1. A knife bar for carpet looms formed as a single recessed casting and having a.
tension tie rod extending within the recess from end to end of said bar and secured to the bar near each end thereof, said tie rod having its end portions inclined to each other, and said securing means being effective to tension said tie rod against an intere mediate portion of said casting within said recess to exert transverse upward pressure on said knife bar between the ends thereof.
2. A knife bar for carpet looms formed 1 at the center of the length of the recess 24:.
as a single casting and having a tension tie rod extending between the ends thereoflsaid tie rod engaging a projection of said casting at an intermediate portion thereof and being secured to said bar near'each end thereof and the parts of said tie rod on opposite sides of said projection being angularly disposed relatively to each other and exerting transverse upward pressure on said 1 projection.
3. In a loom, in combination, a knife bar formed as a single casting, a tenslon tie rod secured to and forminga truss between the ends of said bar, and means to adjust the tension of said tie rod. 10
In testimOnywhereof I have hereunto .affixed my signature.
HLLIAM V. ROBERTSON.
