STOP-MOTION FOR BRAlDlNG-MACHINES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 280,109, dated June 26, 1883.

Application filed December S, 1880. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, G. K. \Vmennsrnn, of

the State of Rhode Island, have invented an Improvement in Stop-Motions for Braiding- Maehines; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being hadto the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

The nature of my invention consists in pro of the carriers, by means of adjustable screws, held radially in the stop-motion rim, by means of screw-thread and cheek-nut; and the object of my invention is to provide means for adrim, in order to compensate for the wear of the grooves of the braider-plate, of the guides of the carriers, and of the tensioirweights which engage with the stop-motion rim.

Figure 1 is a plan view of a portion of the braidenplate and of the stop-motion rim. Fig. 2is a section of the same, taken in the line a: 00 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a detail section of the braiderplate and stopmim.

In the drawings, A is the ln'aider-plate, provided with the carrier-grooves G. The stopmotion rim 1) hangs just over the outer edge of the plate A andswings on the pivot I, to which connection is made by means of the curved arm H, which passes under the braiderplate.

Radial holes are bored in the rim D at proper distance from each other, and tapped to receive the setscrews E E, the inwardlyprojecting points of which serveto receive the blow from the fallen tension-weight F, causing the machine to stop by depriving the shipperlever J and handle K of their support at L, and allowing them to drop to the position shown by the dotted lines in Fig. 2. The screws E E are easily adjusted by means of a wrench, and are firmly held in the proper position by means of the check-nuts N, which bear against the side of the rim D. By means of the set-screws E in the stop-rim the wear of the points of the screws, of the horns of the tension-weights F, of the groove 0 in the braider-plate, and of the guide O of the carrier M may be properly compensated, and the several parts be thus made to last in practitical use for a much greater length of time, thus securing a high degree of eli'ieiency and economy. I

I claim as my invention- The combination of the stop-motion rim 1),

screws E, and check-nuts N with the grooved plate A, carrier M, and tensionaveight F, substantially as described.
