VTAKEFIELD, OF WORCESTER MASSACHUSETTS, ASSIGNOR TO QROIVIPTON 8: KNOWLES LOOM WORKS, OF WORCESTER, MASSACHUSETTS, CORPORATION OF MASSACHUSETTS ELECTRICAL WARP STOP FICTION FOR LOOMS Applieation filed June 27, 1930. Serial no. 464,381.
This invention relates to improvements in electrical warp stop motions and it is the general object of the invention to simplify the construction of motions built up of similar units and at the same time permit enlargement of a comparatively small motion by the addition of other units.
It has been customary for some time to mount a mechanical warp stop motion on an angle bar having a part parallel to the lay to extend into a vertically adjustable post and having a threaded part parallel to the warp to have mounted thereon the head or other holding structure for the parts which cooperate with the drop Wires. This angle iron affords a universal adjustment within certain limits and it is an important object of my invention to mount electric contact bars directly on this angle iron and hold the bars in spaced relation ,by means of sleeves or similar devices strung along the rod.
It is customary to employ at least twosocalled separator bars one function of which is to determine the plane of the warpthreads adjacent the warp stop motion withrespect to the detector bar so that the latter may be properly related relatively to the drop wires. It is a further object of my invention to provide means for supporting the separator bars at varying distances apart, depending upon the width of the warp stop motion With these and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, my invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter described and set forth in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings wherein a convenient embodiment of my invention is set forth, a

Fig. 6 is a front elevation of one of the bars, and
Fig. 7 is a perspective view of that end of one of the bars opposite the part shown in Fig. 3 and illustrating the manner of affording connection for the insulated electrode.
As shown in Fig. 1' the invention is applied to a loom, the frame 10 of which supports bracket 11 having mounted therein an upright vertically adjustable post 12' held in position by screw 13. A head or hearing 14 on the post receives a short end 15 of a supporting angle iron 16 which isheld in adjusted angular position with respect to the post by meansof a set screw 17. The angle iron has a threaded portion 18 extending substantially parallel to the warp.
spaced separator bars 19 define the line of the warp N and a plurality of electric contact or detector bars 20 located above the separator bars cooperate with dropwires B. Each detector bar has an outside inclosing grounded sheath 21 having a vertical wall 22 crimped as at 23 and having the upper and lower edges bent to lie parallel to the wall 22 as at 2% and 25, respectively. Located be ween the bent edges is a live electrode 26 spaced from the grounded electrode 21 by The drop wire is provided with a slot 28jthrough which one of the detector bars extends and said drop wire has projections 29 which co-act with the rib 28 and the live elect-rode to close a circuit not 5 shown when the drop wire 18 in fallen posithe same as that shown in co-pending application Ser. No. 350A01 filed Payne.
In carrying my invention into eifcct I provide means for supporting the detector bars directly to the threaded, portions 18 of the angle irons. It would bepossible to effect direct connection between the angle irons and either of. the electrodes, but as shown herein I have chosen to support the contact bars through the outside or grounded electrodes.
Accordingly, these electrodes extend beyond the adjacent ends of the live electrode 26 and the insulating material 27 and said projecting portion, designated herein at 40, is provided with a longitudinal slot all which is preferably at least as wide as the rib and of sntlicient size to receive the threaoed end 18 I of one of the angle bars. Located between each of the bars and mounted. on the end 18 are spacing sleeves t2. the diameter of each of which is preferally not in excess ot the length oi the slot 41. so that said sleeves may have direct contact with the vertical portions of the wall 22 without being spaced from the latter by the rib. Nuts 43 and 14 on the threaded part 18 of the angle irons ailord means for clamping the several shelves and detector bars together in fixed spaced relation. The shelves are all preferably oi the same length so that the detector bars are unitormly spaced.
In the form of the invention set forth herein both ends of each detector bar are formed as suggested in F 3 so that the ends of the live electrode terminate a short distance from the ends of, the grounded electrode. In order to establish electric connection with said live electrode, I provide each of the same with an ear at one e d hereof to which the wire 46 may be attached to establish electrical connection between all of the live electrodes and the external circuit referred to but not shown. The manner of elect ically connecting the live electrodes is of no particular consequence and if desir d the method employed in co-pending application Serial No. 464:,358 filed by Payne may be used. In the method set forth herein it will be necessary slip the detector bar through the aligning slots of the drop wi -es from one side only because of the pro i ear 4:5, whereas if the form of connec.;ion shown in the last mentioned applicad this limi ation will not be present.
If it be desired to increase the number of detector bars the outside nuts l will be removed and the nuts 57 will be removed from the bolts 53, after which the desired number of additional contactbars a d spacers or sleeves -12 can he slipped over the rods 18. The new bars may be clamped in position by replacement of the nut 44:. In similar manner, additional sleeves can be strung along the bolts 53 so that the rcarmost hanger will place the rear separator bar 19 in position to locate the warp properly with respect to all ot the drop wires.
From the foregoing it will be seen that I have provided a simple means for supporting the contact bars of electrical warp stop motions, provision being made for expanding the width of the motion to meet the demands of a liner warp. It will also be seen that provision is made for moving the separator bars so that they can locate the warp properly for all of the detector bars. Furthermore, it will be seen that the specific form of the end of the detector bar permits the sleeves 42 to be clamped directly against the vertical walls of the grounded electrodes.
Having thus described my invention it will be seen that changes and modifications may be made therein by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention and I do not wish to be limited to the details herein disclosed, but what I claim is:
