Definitions
- This invention pertains to looms for weaving terry cloth and more particularly to improved mechanism for positioning the so-called loose picks into full parallel relationship with the terry fell prior to the loop-forming beat-up.
- each cycle will include two or more loose picks followed by a fast pick, with all picks of the cycle being beat-up to the fell together.
- the portion of each of the warp yarns which separates the first loose pick of each new cycle and the fast pick of the previous cycle will form terry loops on one or both surfaces of the material.
- the instant invention is concerned with the proper placement of the first loose pick of each cycle. If the first loose pick is attached to the previous fast pick at the side of the 100m from which it is being inserted, it will extend rearwardly from the fell at an angle thereto for a portion of the length. For best results in the finished goods, the angular portion should be properly positioned when inserted and also subsequently repositioned before the final beat-up of the cycle.
- the desired position for the first loose pick is that of being parallel with the fell throughout its full terry width.
- terry material which has been woven without having properly positioned the first loose pick, there is a noticeable defective band of approximately the width of the angular portion of the pick.
- This band may have loops of uneven heights and doubled loops which give an undesirable appearance to the goods.
- the defective hand In the weaving of threepick or five-pick terry, for example, the defective hand many appear at both edges of the cloth in a fiy-shuttle loom and at the inserting edge in a shuttleless loom of the type which weaves picks in connected pairs.
- the instant invention is applicable to either type of loom for the production of high grade terry cloth.
- FIG. 1 is a side elevation of the filling positioner with the known loom parts shown in dotted lines;
- FIG. 2 is a plan view of FIG. 1;
- FIG. 3 shows the mechanism of FIG. 1 as moved by the lay to a second position
- FIG. 4 is an enlarged view in perspective of a portion of FIG. 2.
- a lay beam 20 is shown in its two extreme positions of oscillation in FIGS. 1 and 3, with a reed 21 and reed bracket 22 in a position relative to the lay 20 to execute a loose pick beat-up.
- a series of warp ends 23 held in angled separation to form a shed have a first loose pick of filling 24 inserted therein.
- the warp ends 23 are adapted to cross alternately in the usual manner by means not shown to thereby form a terry fabric 25 with the fell of the fabric at point 26 (FIGS. 1 and 3).
- a clamping member 31 is securely fastened to the face of the lay beam 20 by a screw 32.
- a connector rod 33 is pivotally fastened to the clamp 31 by a flexible rod end 34.
- the forwardly extending end of the rod 33 has a second rod end 35 pivotally fastened to a slide 36 which may be of a low-friction type material for longer wear.
- a bracket 37 is fastened to the temple 27 by screws 38 (FIGS. 1 and 2) and extends forwardly and upwardly by an arm 39.
- a slide track formed upon the arm 39 by opposing grooves 40 and 41 receives the slide 36 and permits ony inclined straight line motion when urged by the action of the lay 20 through the linkage.
- a rearwardly extending arm 42 is clamped to the slide 36 by'a screw 43 and is actuated thereby.
- the arm 42 carries a rod 44 adjustably positioned thereon by a set screw 45.
- a needle 46 is inserted through a pin hole in the rod 44 and locked in position by a set screw 47.
- the needle 46 is bent downwardly to a point 48 and has a straight filling contacting surface 49.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 show the needle 46 in the shed with the first loose pick 24 pressed away from the fell to a position where the reed will beat-up the full length of that pick. Prior to the beat-up, however, the needle is raised by action of the advancing lay beam 20, whereupon a portion of the pick 24 may revert to its former angular position.
- the distance between the loose picks at partial beat-up and the tell is a major factor in the height of the terry loops. Adjustments may be easily. made by loosening the set screws 45 and 47 to change the angle of the surface 49 relative to the plane of movement shown by line A-A.
- This invention provides a simplified device for accomplishing the desired results and one which may be easily adjusted for varying conditions.
- a loom for weaving terry material by inserting picks of filling into warp sheds in consecutive cycles, each one of the cycles having a plurality of loose picks followed by one fast pick, said loom including a reciprocating lay, a retractible reed operating in association with said lay, and a filling positioning means for placing the first loose pick in each of said cycles into parallel relationship with the fell of said material and repositioning said first loose pick into said parallel relationship during insertion of the second loose pick of each of said cycles, said positioning means including,
