METHOD OF CONTROLLING WEFT THREADS Application July 30, 1932, Serial No. 626,803
14 Claims. (01. 139-190) tion, Therefore, when the filling of a shuttle becomes exhausted or should a weft breakage occur and a pick-out of one or more weft threads is necessitated thereby, it has been the common practice to disturb the contact between the cloth, 15 take-up roll and warp tension in order to try and prevent imperfections in the cloth. This is attempted by the operator, after the loom has been stopped, by manually adjusting the lay, and consequently the reed, t0 the forward extremity of '20 its fixed range of movement and then letting the cloth backward in the. direction of the let-ofi to position the fell of the cloth so that it will coincide with said extreme forward movement of the reed. Notwithstanding the expertness of the operator, this operation has been found to result in uncertainty in the adjustment or setting of the cloth and warp due to slippage and change of tension of the warp threads and cloth with respect to the take-up and let-off mechanisms, and the inexactness of the adjustment of the fell of the cloth relative to the extreme forward position of the reed. For example, whenattempting to make an adjustment of the cloth or warp, the weaver must very carefully bring the reed to its forward limit in order to see where the fell of the cloth should be, and must then, with equal care, let the cloth back to meet the reed. In either operation, any inaccuracy in these minute adjustments, both of which are extremely difficult to 40 make, may result in the last inserted pick being moved out of place and crowded against adjacent picks so that a heavy mark or imperfection in the cloth will be produced, or should the operator fail to let the cloth backquite far enough, the filling threads will betoo loose and an imperfection known as a light mark will be created.
The necessity of making adjustments of the cloth in order to avoid imperfections therein also occurs after a loom has remained idle for any yarn in the warp, during any prolonged inactivity of the loom and it thereupon. becomes essential that the operator, before again starting the loom, very carefully move the lay toward its extreme forward position so as to bring the reed up to the fell of the cloth to determine whether such stretch or shrinkage has occurred. When this has been accomplished and it has been found that the warp or cloth has stretched or shrunk the latter is adjusted relative to the reed, either for ward or backward as the case may be, until the fell coincides with the extreme forward position of said reed. h
Thus, in all instances of adjustments relative to the normal fell of the cloth which are made to avoid imperfections in the woven material, it has been, insofar as known, the universal practice to move the cloth to shift the altered fell thereof relative to the reed with the attendant disadvantages above pointed out. This movement of the cloth brings about a very disturbed condition of the Warp, whether it be silk, wool, cotton, rayon, or any other fibre, or whether it be any of the above-mentioned fibres which have been prepared with a greater or lesser number of turns per inch necessitated by some particular effect which the manufacturer is desirous of obtaining in the finished fabric.
To avoid such disadvantages, it is proposed, in accordance with the present invention, to maintain undisturbed the position, contact and tension between the cloth, take-up roll and warp and thereby preserve the identical relationship between the warp and cloth on the one hand and the take-up and feeding-off devices on the other hand. To the end that this may be ac complished, use is made of a mechanism by which the reed may be adjusted to various positions, either forwardly or backwardly relative to the fell of the cloth, to thereby shift the extreme forward and backward range of the reed, this being preferably done without altering the length or arc of movement thereof. The amount of adjustment of the reed is dependent upon the number of picks lost or removed, or the extent of the stretch or shrinkage of the warp or cloth, and'by the use of such a mechanism, the throw of the reed with respect to the fell of the cloth isaltered without affecting or changing the position or tension of the warp.
While various means for adjusting the reed may be employed in carrying out the invention, the present preferred embodiment of such means consists in using an eccentric pin which joins the crank connector to the lay sword so that the latter, which forms a part of the lay and knob into one of the openings 31.
supports the reed will respond to any alteration of said pin and thereby effect a corresponding change in the position of said reed. However, it is to be understood that the inventive concept is not to be construed as limited to the specific mechanism shown herein since the same result can be obtained through the use of other instrumentalities such as screws, wedges, cams, or other well-known adjusting means, or by an adjustment of the reed relative to the lay.
The inventive idea involved is therefore .capable of receiving a variety of mechanical expressions, one of which, for purposes of illustration, is shown in the accompanying drawings wherein:
Figure l is a diagrammatic view of -a loom, il-
lustrating the lay thereof provided with the adjusting device of the present invention.
Figure 2 is an edge elevation, partly in section, of a portion of the lay sword carrying the adjusting device.
Figure 3 is .a side elevation, partly in section, of the device shown in Figure 2, and
Figure 4 is an enlarged section taken through the lay sword and illustrating the eccentric which forms .a part of the adjusting device.
The loom illustrated in Figure 1 comprises a warp beam 6 carrying the weights 7. The warp 9 passes over a whip roll 10 and between lease rods '11 and 12. After being led through the harness shafts 1'3 and the reed 14, the Warp 9 passes over a breast beam '15, a take-up roll 16 which is rotated by a pick wheel 17, and a press roll '18, and is finally wound on a cloth roll 19. The weft-beating-up device comprises the reed 14, the lay 20 and the lay sword 21 moved by the crank connector 22, the crank 23 and the crank shaft 24. The crank connector 22 is connected with a pin 25 by means of one of the clamps 5 connected with another clamp by tierods-8. As shown in Figures 2, 3 and 4, the pin 25 comprises two eccentrically located end portions 26 rotatably supported in the lay sword 21. A lever 2'] is connected with the pin 25, 26 by means of a pin 28 and a screw 29. An indicating plate '30 provided with openings 31 is rigidly connected with the lay sword 21 by means of a screw 32 The lever 27 is provided with a knob 33 comprising a coil spring 34 which nornally presses the pin 35 forming a part of the In order to remove the pin 35 from an opening 31, the knob 33 is pulled outwardly, thus compressing the spring 34.
The distance between the openings 31 and the distance between the axis of rotation of the pin 25 and the axis of rotation of its eccentric end portions 26 have a certain relationship to the thickness of a pick. The distance between two adjacent openings 31 is such that as soon as the lever 27 is moved from one opening to the next one, and the pin 25, 26 is rotated by said lever, the distance between the lay sword 21 and the members 22, 23 or 24 is increased or diminished by a pick or the thickness of a predeter-mined fraction thereof.
stance, when the filling of the shuttle breaks and a total of four picks, for example, are lost with an attendant alteration in the normal fell of the cloth following the last picks or pick-out operation, the position of the lay sword 21 will have to be shifted to such an extent that the lay 20, and consequently the reed 14, is moved foursiXtieths of an inch, provided that the gears are set to pull sixty teeth per inch and each forward action of the lay causes the cloth to move forward one-sixtieth of an inch. This is accomplished after the loom has been stopped without touching the cloth and without changing by hand the position of the lay sword 21, by
removing the pin 35 from its position in an Pen-ing 31, and mowing it to another opening which is situated at such distance from the firstinentioned one that the reed 14 carried by the lay 20 is moved four-sixtieths of an inch forward. The plate 3.0 may be provided with a scale, not shown in the drawings, which indicates the number of picks or the fraction of a pick car-responding to the distance between two openings 31.
Since the crank connector 22 remains stationary during the adjustment, a rotation of the lever 27 to the left from the position shown in Figure 3 will cause the axis of thepin 25 to move with respect to the axis of the pin end portions 26, thus pushing forward the lay sword 21 and;
cloth were pulled four-sixtieths .of an inch backwards, and the extreme forward movement of the reed, upon again starting the loom, will be advanced to the new fell resulting from the lost picks or pick-out.
will, for all practical purposesremain the same. When making adjustments to compensate for stretching of the warp or cloth, as previously referred to, the change in the position of the reed j may be either forward .or backward, depending upon the nature of the fabric being woven and the direction in which the stretch or shrinkage occurs, and in the case of a backward adjustment the operation of the lever 27, as .above described, is reversed.
