Definitions

  • a weft cutting device for a shuttleless loom of the type having a rotatable crankshaft, and a Weft selector mechanism for selecting one of a plurality of wefts to be drawn into the shed by an insertion needle each time the crankshaft rotates the device has a pair of triangularly shaped cams secured to a drive shaft that rotates once per revolution of the crankshaft, a pair of cutters connected to the cams to be pivoted positively thereby about a common axis, and a finger projecting from one of the cutters to guide the selected weft between the shearing edges of the cutters as the needle moves the weft into the warp shed.
  • This invention relates to a positive weft cutting device for a shuttleless loom having a continuous weft-supply mechanism in which the weft thread, coming from a fixed bobbin mounted outside the fabric, is brought into the shed by an inserting needle and, more particularly, to a loom having both inserting and traction needles.
  • this invention is adapted for use with looms of the type having a plurality of bobbins from which different weft threads preselected by a specifically provided 3 mechanism which, unthreading them from the bobbins, arranges them selectively in front of the retracted weft inserting needle, the latter, in turn gripping and drawing them into the warp shed, wherein they are beaten.
  • the picked weft is drawn to the center of the shed, where it is transferred to the retraction needle that draws it the rest of the way through the shed. After being beaten into the fabric, this weft remains attached to the associated bobbin and thus, whenever, a different weft is to be inserted, the inserting mechanism should cut the selected weft, which remained attached to the fabric, so as to be able to insert the selected weft once again into the fabric.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a device for positively cutting the weft of a shuttleless loom, having a continuous weft-supply mechanism, which is coordinated with the movements of the sley, the weft selector mechanism, and the conveying needles.
  • the inventive device which is installed in a fixed position on the looms breast beam, and which is mounted so that its two cutters may sweep the first or end tooth of the reed when the latter is in the beat position, is detailedly illustrated in the accompanying drawings which are illustrative of an exemplary embodiment only.
  • FIGURE 1 is a fragmentary cross-sectional view of a cutting device made accord-ing to one embodiment of this invention.
  • FIGURE 2 is a fragmentary front elevational view of the two cutters shown in FIG. 1.
  • the device comprises two movable cutters, 1 and 2, to which the drive is transferred by a mainshaft 3, which is mounted to rotate between the sidewalls 17 (one of which is shown in FIG. 1) of a housing, which is mounted on a loom breast beam 40 adjacent one end thereof to be ro- 3,380,482 Patented Apr. 30, 1968 tated at the same speed as the looms crankshaft, thus assuring that the movement of the cutters will be coordinated with the movements of the weft-supply mechanism, with the sley, and the weft selector.
  • the triangular cams 4 and 5 which move the forks 6 and 7, respectively, which are mounted to pivot adjacent one another about a stationary shaft 29 that extends between the housing walls 17 parallel to shaft 3.
  • the fork 6 is pivotally connected by pin 24 to a link or rod 8 which, in turn, is pivotally connected by a pin 23 to the cutter 1.
  • the fork 7 carries a pin 28 which engages in a slot 27' formed in one end of a bellcrank lever 9, which is pivoted intermediate its ends on a stationary shaft 27, which projects from one of the housing sidewalls 17.
  • the opposite end of lever 9 carries a pin 26, which engages in a slot 2 formed in one end of the cutter 2.
  • the two cutters are fulcrumed on the same hollow, stationary pin 10 which extends between a pair of spaced brackets 18 that are secured to and project forwardly from the housing sidewalls 17, and through which the templet-carrying pin is inserted.
  • These cutters 1 and 2 are shaped so that an empty space is formed between the cutters, and thorugh which pass the wefts which were previously beaten into the fell of the fabric, and which remain attached to the fabric and to the selection mechanism.
  • the upper cutter 1 includes the fastening block 1b which is mounted by screws 21 and 22 in a recess in the forward end of the blade carrier 1 to pivot about a pin 12 which is the fulcrum thereof, and which terminates at its lower edge in a blade 1a.
  • the cutting edge of said blade has a slope of 15 degrees with respect to a horizontal plane.
  • a spring 13 Secured at its upper end to block 1b by the bolt 21, and extending downwardly into engagement with the blade 1a is a spring 13 which holds the blade 1a slightly inclined inwardly, that is to say towards the lower cutter 2.
  • a slight clearance 42 between the head of the bolt 22 and the block 1b permits the latter to be pivoted by spring 13 slightly about the pin 12, when the cutters 1 and 2 are in their open positions, as indicated by broken lines at 14 and 15 in FIG. 1.
  • the ear 11 on blade 2a guides the blade 1a into the position shown in FIG. 2 against resistance of spring 13.
  • the lower cutter 2 starts its lifting movement from the position 14, shown in dotted line in FIG. 1, and is displaced towards its cutting position.
  • the beaten weft extends from the fabric through the opening 16 between the cutters, and through the selector mechanism (not illustrated) to its respective bobbin B at the side of the loom.
  • the cutter 2 finally reaches its uppermost position so that the ear 11 is positioned adjacent the weft threads coming from the selector.
  • the selected weft thread is guided around and held, in this position nearby the fabric, by the ear 11.
  • the downward movement of the upper cutter 1 is started, from the position 15, outlined in dotted lines in FIG. 1, to its solid line or cutting position abutting the cutter 2.
  • This causes the selected weft to be severed by the blades 1a and 20 at a point between the fabric and the needle N, thus allowing the needle to draw the weft into the shed.
  • the lower portion of the edge of the movable blade 1a meets the tip of the car 11, which is shaped so as to compel the blade to be displaced outwardly.
  • the spring 13 then urges the blade 1a resiliently agaimt the blade of the blade of the lower cutter 2, thus ensuring a continuous adherence between the two blades during cutting.
  • the coaction of the forks 6 and 7 with the triangular cam 4 and 5 permits an entirely positive control of the movement of the cutters and allows the timing of the movement in any position whatsoever.
  • a weft-cutting device for a shuttleless loom of the type having a crankshaft which rotates once each time a weft is picked, and a weft selector mechanism adjacent one side of the loom for moving a selected one of a plurality of wefts into picking position to be engaged and drawn by an inserting needle into a warp shed, comprising a drive shaft connected to said crankshaft to be rotated thereby at the same speed as said crankshaft,
  • a pair of cutters mounted adjacent said one side of said loom to pivot about a common axis, each of said cutters having thereon a blade
  • said controlling means includes a pair of pivotal forks connected to said cutters positively to transmit their pivotal movements to said cutters, said each of said cams rotates between the furcations of one of said forks and is constantly engaged at opposite sides thereof by the furcations of the associated fork.
  • a weft-cutting device as defined in claim 4 including means mounting the other of said blades on its cutter for limited pivotal movement about an axis transverse to said common axis, and
  • said finger being engageable with said other blade during the movement of said cutters to said operative positions, thereby to guide said other blade into shearing engagement with said one blade.
