TURNER, OF WORCESTER, MASSACHUSETTS, ASSIGNOR TO CBOMFTON & KNOWLES'LOOM WORKS, 0F WORCESTER, MASSACHUSETTS, A GORPORATION OF MASSACHUSETTS TEMPLE FOR DOUBLE-FABRIC LOOMS Application filed. July 22, 1929. Serial N0. 380,132.

This invention relates to a temple for use with double fabrics and is particularly designed for use in a double shuttle loom of the weft replenishing type.

It is the general object of my invention to provide a temple by which both upper and lower fabrics may be guided'and held from lateral contraction, while at the same time the unsevered weft ends of newly inserted bobbins may have clear passage forward be tween the temple rolls.

To the attainment of this object, I provide a separator or guiding member between the upper and lower temple rolls,-so disposed and supported that weft ends may pass freely over and under said member as they work forward past the temple rolls.

My invention further relates to arrangements 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 Fig. 1 is a plan view-of a portion of a loom having my improved temple mounted there- Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the temple, looking in the direction of the arrow 2 in Fig. 1;

Fig. 3 is a sectional frontelevation of the temple, taken alongthe line 3-3 in Fig. 2;

Fig. 4 is a side elevation, looking in the direction of the arrow 4 in Fig. 3; and

Fig. 5 is a sectional front elevation, taken along the line 55 in Fig. 2.

Referring to the drawings, I have shown a part of a loom frame 10 on which a temple stand 11 is secured. A temple bar 12 is yieldingly slidable in the stand 11 in. the usual manner and extends rearward toward the fell of the cloth.

At its rearward end, the bar 11 is offset downward and rearward, as indicated at 14, and is provided with a pair of lower temple rolls 16 of the usual construction. A similar pair of upper temple rolls 18 are mounted on a frame member 20 secured to the temple bar 12 by a bolt 22. The offset lower portion 14 of the bar 12 and the frame member 20' are spaced apart vertically to provide a free (to said frame member.

passage 24 to a point forward of the temple rolls, for a purpose to be described.

A guiding and separating member 30 is also secured to the bar 12 by the bolt 22 and may also be fiXedin relation thereto by a pin or stud 32. The member 30 extends freely rearward between the rolls 16 and 18 and is of such contour that the upper and lower fabrics are separated and guided closely adjaazp'nt the peripheries of the upper and lower ro s.

A bracket 40. is secured to the bar 12 by the bolt 22 and is also secured to the offset member 14 by the bolt 42 (Fig. 2) which supports the forward lower roll 16 and to the upper framemember 20 by the bolt'44 by which the forwardupper roll 18 is secured The bracket 40 is thus firmly held in position and also acts to positively determine the spaced relation of the upper frame member 20 from the offset portion 14 of the bar 12.

The bracket 40'is provided with a laterally extended or table portion 46 having its rear edge portion curved downwardly, as

indicated at 48 in Fig. 2. A plurality of weights 50 are loosely mounted on a stud 52 secured in the table portion 46.

The temple thus described is particularly adapted for use in a double shuttle loom in which the weft ends of the bobbins are tied together in pairs before the bobbins are placed in the magazine. When one bobbin of a pair is transferred, the weft end W remains attached to the other bobbin left in the magazine, as indicated in Fig. 1, and is gradually drawn under the sectional weight 50 by the forward feed 'of the cloth. During this forward feed, the weft end W extends outward from the selvage of the cloth and moves freely forward through the open passage 24 previously described.

Such forward movement causes the weft end to be clamped by the weight 50, after which the weft is broken between the weight and the ,selvage. The open passage 24 extends forward in the temple beyond the point necessaryfor drawing theweft end under the weight 50.

I am thus able to firmly hold and stretch both the upper and lower fabrics by the temple rolls l6 and 18, while at the same time permitting free forward movement of the weft end W to (lumpingand breaking posilion.

Having thus described my invention and advantages thereof, 1 do not wish to be nited to the details herein disclosed, othere tian as set forth in the claims, but what 1 claim is 1. a loom for weaving double fabric, a pie frame, a pair of upper temple rolls l a pair of lower temple rolls supported fl frame, and a rearwardly extending and separating member positioned said upper and lower rolls and supntii'ely by said frame at a point fori said rolls.

In a loom for weavin double fabric, a 1' iuple frame, a pair of upper temple rolls and a pair lower temple rolls supported rame, and a ing and separating member positioned between said upper and lower rolls, supported by said frame and extending; freely rearward between said rolls.

3. In a loom for weaving double fabric, temple frame a pair of upper temple rolls and a iair of lower temple rolls supported l: frame, and a guiding and separating ember positioned between said upper and lower rolls and supported by said frame, said rolls and said separating member being disposed to provide a free passage for the weft end extending outward from a fabric passing through said temple.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto affixed my signature.

RICHARD TURNER.
