WEF'I'LESS FABRIC.
Application filed July 2,
The present invention relates to weftless fabric and a method and means for making the same.
In the manufacture of cord tires I consider it desirable to provide a cord fabric as free as possible from all irregularities so that the resulting tire could have a maximum of flexibility and pliability and so that there would be as smooth a surface as pos sible to prevent localized wear. lit has been customary to make a fabric having a double warp of light and heavy yarn together with a weft or filling of light thread, in a loom arranged for the purpose.
According to the present invention a weftless fabric is produced in a manner in which it can be transported from the textile mill to the tire factory or can be stored as desired. The fabric is entirely free of any filling material and hence tires made from it use the material in the most efficient manner. The invention may be carried out in an ordinary loom by making a few simple changes.
In the accompanying figure of the drawing certain of the parts of a loom are shown, together with auxiliary devices desirable for use in making the weftless fabric.
A plurality of cords 1 are drawn over the whip roll 2 of the loom, and, after passing through the harness 8 the cords pass through the reed of the loom and thence under rollers 4. The breast-beam of the loom is indicated at 5 and the cords 1 are passed over this breast-beam along with a sheet of fabric 6. This fabric maybe in the form of a roll 7 of sheeting or the like which is mounted in some suitable place under the,
loom so that the cloth may be drawn over the breast-beam as indicated. Receiving drums 8 and 10 are driven by a suitable source of power and on drum 8 the plurality of cords 1 and the strip of sheeting are wound. Interposed between the breast-beam 5 and the receiving drum 8 are rollers 9 and 11 about which the weftless cloth and the sheeting are directed.
The cords, in passing through the loom are laid out parallel in evenly spaced relation on top of the breast-beam and are then carried along with the strip of cloth on to 1923. Serial No. 648,880.
the receiving drum. Here the cloth and the suitable rubber coating machines While the sheeting is wound on to another roll and returned to the 100m to be.used over again. It is desirable'to carry the sheeting to a point as near the rubberizing rolls of the machine as possible.
It is, of course, obvious that one would be able to make very large rolls in the manner above described, as their width would be limited only by the width of the loom and the length by the convenience of handling lVhile the drawing shows the cords wound outside the cloth, it is, of course, obvious that the cloth may be carried on the outside of the roll and the cords on the inside as this is principally a matter of choice and convenience.
I havehere shown and described the manner of conveying a weftless fabric but it should be understood that the invention can be applied with equal effect where the filling is so fine or widely spaced that in itself it does not constitute an adequate support to keep the cord warp in place so as to admit of even rubberizing. The use of sheeting in the manner shown is of great value in such instances.
I claimi 1. The methodof preparing weftless fabric which comprises, passing a plurality of parallel strands free of filling over the ric which comprises,.passing a plurality of strands over the whip roll and through the harness of a loom to render these strands parallel, then passing the strands free of .lilling over the breast beam, simultaneously passinga stri of cloth over the breast beam, of the cord guides and a Winding drum onto and uniting t e cloth and strands into a roll. Which the cloth and cords passing through 3. In combination, a cord beam having the cord guides may be Wound. 10 cords wound thereon, a guide roll over Signed at New York; in the county of 5 which the cords may pass, cord guides, a NewrYork and State of New York, this 28 breast beam, a roll of previously prepared day of June, 1923. cloth passing over the breast beam and free FRED B. MANLEY. [L. s]
