Feb. 7, 1956 A. R. GRANBERG LOOM WARP REEL 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 Filed Oct. 15, 1954 Axel R Gran/berg IN V EN TOR.
LooM WARP REEL Axel R. Granberg, Amarillo, Tex. Application October 15, 1954, Serial No. 462,589 1 Claim. (Cl. 28-32) This invention relates to reels and more specifically provides a loom warp reel for use in conjunction with a loom.
An object of this invention is to provide a warp reel for looms wherein the individual threads may be easily measured, severed and properly tensioned.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a loom warp reel including a reed or comb for guiding the threads of each individual hank or bout.
Still another important object of the present invention is to provide a loom warp reel for use in conjunction with looms having a warp beam wherein the threads may be expeditiously measured and placed on the warp beam of the loom.
Another important feature of the present invention is to provide a warp reel conformable to the preceding objects together with means for adjusting and providing tension on the warp thread as it is positioned on the warp reel and on the warp beam.
Still other features of the present invention will be found in its simplicity of construction, ease of operation, efiiciency, its adatability for its purposes and its relative inexpensive manufacture.
These, together with other objects and advantages which will become consequently apparent reside in the details of construction and operation as more fully hereinafter described and claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming a part hereof, wherein like numerals refer to like parts throughout, and in which:
Figure 1 is a side elevational view of the loom warp reel of the present invention in use in conjunction with a loom;
Figure 2 is a top plan view of the loom warp reel of the present invention showing the relative position of the threads as they are unwound from the reel of the present invention;
Figure 3 is a perspective view showing the loom warp reel of the present invention;
Figure 4 is an enlarged perspective view showing the counter mechanism for counting the number of revolutions of the warp reel thereby measuring the length of threads thereon; and
Figure 5 is a vertical, sectional view taken substantially upon a plane passing along section line 55 of Figure 3 showing the structural details of the warp reel.
Referring now specifically to the drawings, it will be seen that the loom warp reel of the present invention is generally designated by the numeral 10. The warp reel is used in conjunction with a loom 12 having a warp beam generally designated by the numeral 14.
The warp reel 10 generally includes a rectangular base having a hollow central portion 16 together with a pair of vertically upstanding frame members 18 with one of the frame members 18 being disposed at each end of the base 14 and extending in spaced parallel relation. The upper ends of the frame members 18 are interconnected by a top member 20 thereby forming a rigid support for a frame-like structure,
nite States PatentO that a rubber member 54 The upper ends of the frame members 18 are provided with an inclined side surface 22 having an inwardly and downwardly extending notch 24 therein for receiving an elongated shaft 26 having a round portion 28 rotatably received in the notch 24 and including polygonal portions 30 on each side of the side members 18 thereby rotatably supporting the shaft 26 in the notches 24 for easy removal therefrom.
Adjacent each end of the shaft 26 is a pair of cross end members 32 rigidly secured to each other and rigidly secured to the center shaft 26. The ends of the cross members 32 are interconnected by rails 34. It will be seen that the central portion of the shaft 26 is provided with crossed end members 36 similar to the end members 32 and the interconnecting members 34 are also con nected to the ends of the cross members 36 as well as the cross members 32 thereby forming a skeleton reel rotatably supported on the stand members 18 for rotation about a horizontal axis and for easy removal by lifting the shaft 26 out of the notches 24.
On one end of the shaft 26 positioned exteriorly of the frame member 18 is an enlarged wheel 38 having a handle 40 adjacent the periphery thereof for turning the shaft 26. The outer surface of the wheel 38 is provided with a peripheral groove 42 for receiving a rope loop 44 which is adjustably secured by a knot 46 and a tension coil Spring 48 wherein the tension coil spring 48 is secured to the outer surface of the frame member 18 by an eye member 50 thereby exerting friction on the wheel 38 thereby resisting rotation of the shaft 26 when theloop 44 is engaged in the groove 42. It will be understood that the cross members 32 and 36 together with the connecting members 34 form a rotating reel as generally indicated in Figure 3 by the numeral 52.
Referring now specifically to Figure 4, it will be seen is pivotally secured to one of the end members 32 by a fastening screw 56. A stop plate 58 is secured to the end member 32 for retaining the member 54 in position for striking an actuating arm 60 on a counter 62 having a viewing area 64 with suitable movable numerical indicia 66 for indicating the number of revolutions of the reel 52. A reset button 68 is provided for returning the numerical indicia 66 to a predetermined value in order to determine the number of revolutions of the reel 52. The counter 62 may be rendered inoperative by pivoting the resilient member 54 about'the screw connection 56 away from stop plate 58 so that the resilient member 54 will not engage the actuating arm 60 of the counter 62. The counter 62 is attached to the inclined surface 22 of the end frame 18 by an upturned flange 70 and a screw threaded member 72.
The upper edge of the top member 20 is provided with a longitudinal groove 74 for detachably receiving a comb 76 as illustrated in Figure 3 or for receiving a reed 78 as illustrated in Figure 2 wherein the reed extends substantially throughout the entire length of the top member 20 and the comb 76 generally only extends a part of the distance between the remote ends of the top member20.
A pair of upstanding rods 80 are secured to the upper surface of the base 14 for supporting spools of thread 82. The thread 82 is extended. upwardly through the comb 76 and the free ends thereof tied to one of the connecting members 34. The reel 52 is then rotated and the number of revolutions is counted by the counter 62. The reel 52 may be made in such a size that for each revolution thereof one yard of thread 82 will be wound off the spool wherein by counting the revolutions, the length of thread thereon may be easily determined. After equal amounts of the thread 82 have been positioned on the reel 52, each free end of the thread is pulled through the comb 76 or the reed 78 and attached to the strap 84 secured to the warp beam 14 of the loom 12. In this position, the thread 82 is ready to be unwound from the reel 52 and positioned on the warp beam 14. The loop is then positioned in the groove 42 of the wheel 38 and the knot 46 adjusted for determining the proper amount of tension on the thread 82 asit is unwound from the reel 52 onto the warp beam 14. After the thread 82 is unwound, the knot securing the free ends of the thread to the connecting members 34 will retain the threads 82 in position substantially as illustrated in Figure 2 wherein the threads may then be cut from the reel 2 and retained in position by a suitable adhesive tape.
To begin the operation, the spool of thread 82 is positioned on the pin 80 and the threads extended up to the top beam 20 through the comb 76 or reed 78 in the groove 74' and tied onto the reel 52 of the crosspiece 34 on which the rubber member is mounted. One complete turn of the reel measures a yard of thread and each turn of the reel will be registered on the counter. After the desired length has been measured and reeled onto the reel 52, cut the thread 82 and loop it through the skein at the same crosspiece 34. Repeat this operation until the same number of skeins on the reel as there are in one bout. All of this operation is done with the tension loop 44 removed from the wheel 38.
After the wheel is full or the desired threads have been positioned thereon, the tension loop 44 may be positioned over the wheel 38 and the rubber member 54 turned down out of the way. The threads are then taken one at a time and passed through the comb or reed and several inches are allowed to dangle over the top member 20. When all the threads are threaded through the comb, they are gathered together and pulled out until the thread reaches the warp beam of the loom. The threads are then tied on and the tension of the rope is adjusted and the threads are wound onto the warp beam. After this the threads are cut and adhesive tape is utilized to retain them in a straight and perfectly arranged condition until the threads are threaded through the heddles. Of course, all bouts will be placed on the warp beam before the threads are positioned through the heddles.
From the foregoing, the construction and operation of the device will be readily understood and further explanation is believed to be unnecessary. However, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the appended claim. 5
What is claimed as new is as follows:
A warp reel comprising a base, an upstanding member on each end of said base, a connecting beam across the top of said upstanding members, a reel rotatably mounted between said upstanding members, and means for frictionally resisting rotational movement of said reel, said means being adjustable, and a counter mounted on said upstanding member and including an actuating arm, a bumper on said reel for engaging said arm for each revolution of the reel, said bumper being pivotally mounted on said reel for selective engagement with the arm.
