ELIAS S. MOORE AND ARTEUR L. GARNER, OF LYNCHB'UILG, VIRGINIA, ASSIGNBS TO DRAPER CORPORATION; OF I-IOPEDALE, MASSACHUSETTS, Ae CORPORATION OF MAINE.
cLorH-Gurnme MEANs roa rooms.
of the objects of the present invention is to provide means of simple and. effective character for guiding the cloth as itis wound upon the cloth roll shaft to insure that the selvage edges will be superimposed one upon the other.
A further object of the present invention is to provide aL cloth guiding means which shall be simple in construction, readily applied to existing looms, and wherein the number' of parts will be simplified and minimized and provide a resilient cloth guiding nlGElIlS. f i
of the cloth guiding means *and its association with the cloth roll.
rlflie loom frame l may be of usual construction and of any appropriate character,v
and in the present instance of the inventiou the front portion of the loom is provided with guides 2, a pair at each side of the loom, between which is mouuted the cloth roll shaft support 3,y on the top portion of which is supported the 'cloth roll shaft fl.V
As usual in looms of this general construction, the cloth roll shaft support 3 is provided 'With rack teeth 5 which engage pinions 6 mounted on a lower spring controlled shaft 7 for normally pressing the cloth roll shaft t in an upward direction and yet permitting yielding movement of the cloth roll shaft 'downwardly as the cloth is wound thereon during the action of :the .take-up mechanism of the 'loom. The i cloth roll guide constituting the present invention is hel'ein shown with the above described character of cloth roll shaft support 8, but it is obvious that it may be associated' with any) other usual type of support. w
Inaccordancepwith the present invention, the cloth guiding means is associated' with' the cloth roll shaft support, and one at each side of the loom, With the result that one or the other of the cloth guiding means will 'act upon the cloth as it is wound upon the cloth roll shaft 4; to maintain the selvage edges of the cloth in superposed relation. i'
The cloth roll guide comprises a body member 8 which may be formed of suitable material and preferably, though not neces sarily, of wood, and the cloth guiding face of the body member isplain, smooth and unobstructed, to act upon the cloth selvage. The body member 8 is preferably provided with a concave portion 9 of a contour to embrace a portion of the cloth roll shaft 4:, as indicated in Fig. 2. v w
In orderto properly associate thebody member 8 of the cloth guiding means with the cloth roll shaft supports7 a novel char acter of bracket means is employed which is of simple character, readilyapplied to looms now in use, and of'resiliency to a degree suf-4 ficient to'actyieldingly upon the' cloth selvages. y
As more fully shown by vFig. 2,1,the body member 8 has Secured thereto a bracket 10 which may be appropriately held to the body member byw screw bolts w11. Which pass through the flat extension of'the bracket and through, or partially throughj the body member 8.
Thebracket 10 has an outwardly 'deflected portion' 12 and is preferably formed of re eo i silient materialq such as sheet metal, and extending from jthe outwardly deflected por-4 tion' 12 the bracket 10 lis provided with a seeuring' portion 113 which is in substantial paralle'lism with the outer face of the vbody member '8 and spaced therefrhm to receive a v lllJ securing bolt- 14, Whereby the eloth guide or body member 8 is held in position to guide the cloth selvages as the cloth is Wound upon the cloth shaft 4. y
As indicated more particularly in Fig. the seeuring portion 13 of the bracket Vis provided With a slot 15 extending substan: tially parallel with' the body portion 8 of the cloth' guide, and, as shown, such slot 15 may be appropriately formed by a bifurcation of the secnring portion 13.
The securing bolt llis provided With a head 16 and the spaced relation between the body member 81 and theisecuring portion 13 'i of theybracket alfords ready access to thehead of the bolt for turning it to secure the cloth guide to the eloth roll support 3.
i The bracket as shown is preferably,
though not necessa-rily, formed of a single piece, and its outniardyextension 12 is produced by bending thesing'le piece of material outwardly and then hending the outward portion upwardly, as indicated in Fig. 2, to form the securi-ng portion 13, Which is thus in separated or spaced relation With the outer face of the body member 8. The resiliency of the outward extension 12 of'the bracket provides a simple and yetieffectve means for yieldingly holding the cloth guide or body member 8 in operat-ive relation With the sidesI of the cloth roll, and yet permits yieldng movement of the eloth guides to accommodate for any slight variation in the endsof the clothroll; i i 1 The length of the eloth guide or body member 8 should be equal to or greater than the final radius of the cloth Wound upon the cloth roll shaft, in order that the cloth lguide may act upon the eloth roll continnously during the winding. operation.
The securing bolt 14 ispreferably threadf ed and its threaded portion enters a recess in the top portion of the cloth roll shaft support 3,y so thatby manipulation of the headl of the'bolt in the space between the body portionjVS and the securing portion 1:3 of the bracket, the clothguidemay be' readily assembled With the cloth roll shaft supe port 3 without disorganizing the assembled parts-in the loom., p i
The slotted'portion 15 or bifui'cated securing portion 13 affords ready means for, adjustment of the'clothfruide or body men'iber 8, towaiwlsiand from the eloth :roll shaft 4.,
and suchadjustinent may be readily'inade because the bolt head 16 is readily aceessible by tool for manipulating the seouringflbolt;
It Will be apparent from the invention as hereinbeforedescribed, that a very simple, etl'ectiye and laterally yieldafble cloth guide is proridedflfor each end of the cloth as itis Wound upon the cloth roll shaft Whereby 'the selvages of the eloth are caused to be superposed in proper relation.
lVliat is claimed is:
1. ln a loom, the combination of a cloth roll shaft, a support for the end thereof, an end guide for the cloth as it is Wonnd upon the cloth roll shaft, a siniporting;I bracket for the end guide having an outwariiillfyY defleot'ed portion provided With an angular 'extension separated from the outer face of the cloth roll guide, and zr single securing bolt passing through the extension for securing the cloth roll gudeito the cloth roll shaft support.
2. In a loom, the combination of' a cloth roll shaft, supports for the ends of the shaft, end Iguides for the cloth it ie Wonnd upon the eloth roll ishafti. a supporting bracket for each of the end guides having an outwardly deflected portion provided With an extension snbstantially at right angles to the out- Wardly deflected portion and spaced from the outer face of the cloth guide, and a seeurino' bolt-passion through the extension for seem-ing the guide to the cloth roll shaft support. i
