Definitions

  • One mechanism for driving the holding members of the supply magazines has already been proposed.
  • one mechanism is particularly satisfactory. It comprises substantially a number of pirn holding members equal to the number of the compartments of the magazine, a driving device for each of the said holding members, a continuously reciprocating equipment in front of the said driving members, a selecting-recording device between the said driving members and the said moving equipment, a permanent connection between the said selecting-recording device and the pattern mechanism of the loorn, a driven connection between the said selecting-recording device and the said moving equipment and finally the feeler of the changing mechanism with its electrical circuit.
  • Each of the said driving devices of the holding members comprises a driving rod, these rods being in alignment, a reed being disposed in front of the said rods and being moved step by step by the pattern mechanism of the loom, the said reed carrying selecting-recording members.
  • the step by step movement of the said reed is effected in such manner that it covers, in every position, only one of the said rods.
  • the present invention relates to such intermediate coordinating device providing for the precise and positive driving of the mechanism actuating the holding members of the pirn loaders and more particularly the selectingrecording device of said mechanism.
  • the device according to the invention comprises substantially two moving members with constant stroke to positively guide and secure the said selecting recording device in any of several characteristic positions.
  • both moving members are shifted, on one hand, about two parallel axes, one axis for each moving member and on the other hand, about a common axis perpendicular to both parallel axes.
  • FIGURE 1 is a diagrammatic general view showing the position of the driving device of the selecting-recording device of the mechanism for actuating the holding members of the pirn loaders;
  • FIGURE 2 is a perspective view of the device according to the invention and it shows diagrammatically the mechanism for actuating the holding members of the pirn loaders with which it is associated;
  • FIGURE 3 is a view similar to FIGURE 2, showing the main elements of the mechanism for actuating the holding members, the driving device being removed;

  • the pushing rod 24 engages a stop surface 27 provided on the arm 7, the movement of the latter causing the movement of the arm 6 through said toothed sectors 23.
  • the support 10 may be angularly displaced about its axis 11 under the action of the dobby driving lever 29 and its spring 30, the horizontal changing return rod 31, the rod 32 and the lever 33 fixed to said support 10.
  • This angular displacement of the support 10 and, accordingly, of the arms 6 and 7 is such that the latter may occupy four angular positions bringing one of the housing 16-19 to a given constant distance from the control members of the supply magazine releasing mechanism.
  • the mechanism 2 for controlling the holding members of the supply magazine comprises substantially the combination of a device 34 arranged for individually actuating the pirn holding members in the various compartments of the magazine, a recording and selecting device 35, a driving device 36 acting on the said actuating device through the intermediary of the said recording and selecting device 35.
  • the actuating device 34 comprises a number of mechanisms equal to the number of compartments of the magazine and each of said mechanisms controls the position of the member supporting the lower pirn in each of the said compartments as well as the position of the element or the elements forming a temporary support for the following pirn when the first pirn is released to reach the changing mechanism in free fall.
  • These supporting members of the pirns in the lower portion of each compartment of the 3 loader are-essentially variable and they are not included within the scope of this invention. Preferably, they will consist of straight moving members which may be displaced in'mutually opposite directions by the rocking levers 37, 38, 39 and 40 respectively.
  • Each of said rocking levers has a side arm 41, 42, 43 and 44 respectively, permanently solicited by a return spring 45, 46, 47 and 48 respectively.
  • These springs are fastened through their upper ends to a horizontal plate 49.
  • This plate is stationary and it is traversed through slots by rods 50, 51, 52 and 53 which are linked through their lower ends on a pivot resting on the said arms 41, 42, 43 and 44 respectively.
  • the said rods 50, 51, 52 and 53 are aligned in such manner that their upper free ends are all secured in the same horizontal plane.
  • each of the said rods may actuate the mechanism releasing the pirns from the corresponding compartment by a simple longitudinal movement from top to bottom produced, for instance, by a thrust stress.
  • the device 35 provided for recording the pirns felt empty'and for preparing the control mechanism of the compartment corresponding to the pirn provided for replacing opportunately the said pirn felt empty comprises substantially a selecting reed 54 which is parallel to the said stationary plate 49 and which has three notches 55, 56 and 57.
  • This selecting reed 54 is disposed above the said stationary plate 49 and it is integral with a carriage 58 which is shown partially and which may be displaced transversally step by step by the coordinating device 1 according to the invention under the control of the pattern mechanism of the loom.
  • This construction is essentially the same as that shown in Patent No. 3,247,870.
  • the said reed 54 is provided with a finger 59.
  • an axis 60 on which are mounted four idle needles 61, 62, 63 and 64 respectively, each of which is provided with two side arms in such manner that each of said needles is approximately cross-shaped.
  • the said recording-selecting device is made integral with a first guillotine 65 which is also shown in said Patent No. 3,247,870.
  • this integral arrangement is such that the said carriage 58 may slide transversely relative to the said guillotine, while being entrained by the latter when it is moved vertically.
  • This guillotine 65 is permanently returned to its top position by a resilient means represented by the spring 66 secured, on one end, to the frame of the said guillotine and on the other hand, to a stationary lug 67, the said top position being limited by the tubular guide 68 traversed longitudinally by the rod 69, along which the said guillotine may slide.
  • the crosshead 70 of the guillotine 65 has a buifer 71 and a guiding stop 72, the upper edge of which has a bevel inclined toward the upper edge of the said bufier 71.
  • This construction is also shown in said Patent No. 3,247,870.
  • the driving device 36 comprises substantially a second guillotine 73 disposed above the said guillotine 65.
  • This last guillotine is guided on the same rod 69 and it is pushed toward its top position by a resilient means represented by the spring 74.
