Definitions
- This invention relates to looms for weaving terry fabrics and more particularly to positively driven placement means for offsetting the reed a predecided distance during partial beat-ups.
- a simplified means is disclosed for varying the offset distance of the reed to change the terry height being woven.
- the general object of the present invention is to provide a reed control device which shall be positive in its action and result in the production of uniform material over extended periods of use.
- FIG. 1 is a side elevation of the mechanism affixed to the left-hand sword as viewed from within the loom;
- FIG. 2 shows the upper portion of FIG, 1 somewhat enlarged with the reed in it full beat-up position
- FIG. 3 is similar to FIG. 2 with the reed position for partial beat-up;
- FIG. 4 is a front elevation of that shown in FIG. 2;
- FIG. 5 is a side elevation partially in section of the driving cam and terry shaft as viewed from the left;
- FIG. 6 is a plan view of a portion of FIG. 5;
- FIG. 7 is an elevation of the drive release means in a position differing from that shown in FIG. 5;
- FIG. 8 is a front elevation of the mechanism in FIG. 5;
- FIG. 9 is a side elevation of the adjusting mechanism for varying the extent of reed offset as shown in FIG. 3.
- FIG. 10 is a front elevation of FIG. 9.
- the mechanism is shown and will be explained in the condition for weaving a three-pick terry, where repeating cycles of two partial beat-ups followed by a full beat-up are performed in making a common terry fabric.
- Other terry weaving conditions are possible by changing the timing of the mechanism shown herein.
- a continually rotating shaft 20 has an enclosed cam 21 keyed to rotate therewith.
- the shaft 20 in this instance serves also as the harness cam shaft which is rotated to complete one full revolution for each three picks inserted by the loom.
- Two base members 22 and 23 may rest upon the framework with one end of the shaft 20 journaled horizontally through base member 22.
- Shaft brackets 24 and 25 are fastened to the upper ends of the members 22 and 23, respectively, and support a fixed shaft 26 therebetween.
- a cam follower arm 27 is pivotally held upon the shaft 26 and carries near its lower end a cam follower roller 28 which maintains continual contact with the cam 21.
- a stud 29 fastened to the lower end of the arm 27 extends generally horizontally and will oscillate through an are as the roller 28 follows the cam 21 (FIGS. 5 and 6).
- a driving arm 30 has a longitudinal slot 31 through which the stud 29 protrudes.
- the rearwardly extending end of arm 30 is pivotally connected with a double armed lever 32 (FIGS. 6 and 7).
- the lever 32 is keyed to a terry shaft 33 which extends the full width of the loom and is supported for oscillation by brackets 34 bolted to loom uprights 35 (only one shown) (FIG. 9).
- a latch member 36 (FIGS. 5 and 7) is held by a stud 37 centrally of the arm 30 with a lip portion 38 movable to a position to contact the stud 29 when in its extreme forward position.
- a spring 39 will bias the latch 36 downwardly or into locking relationship with the stud 29 and a releasing wire 40 may be raised by'any means to disconnect the latch when so desired.
- the arm 27 When the latch 36 is lowered, the arm 27 will be pivoted and, through the arm 30, the lever 32 and shaft 33 will oscillate between the full-line position and the dotted line position in FIG. 5.
- the cam 21 is timed to place the lever 32 in its forward position for one pick by the loom and in its rearward position for two picks in accordance with the three-pick terry formation. Between units of terry weave and for certain pattern formations it is often necessary to do plain weaving in which no terry loops are drawn.
- the roller 28 and arm 27 By raising the latch 36, the roller 28 and arm 27 may pivot with the stud 29 moving freely in the slot 31 without oscillating the terry shaft 33. Any patterning means (not shown) may be used to raise and lower the wire 40 to actuate the latch 36.
- a shaft stop arm 41 may be clamped to the shaft 33 and permit movement only between adjustable bumpers 42 and 43 (FIG.
- the reed control mechanism to be driven by the shaft 33 comprises duplicate sets of parts for controlling the reed at both ends. It is believed to be necessary to explain only the one on the left-hand side for a complete understanding of the operation.
- an adjusting lever 44 having a straight slot 45 extending radially from the shaft 33 (FIG. 9).
- a lengthwise adjustable link 46 is pivotally fastened within the slot 45 by one end and by the other end to a right angled lever 47 pivotally supported on the upright 35 by a stud 48. The movement afforded the lever 47 may be easily varied by changing the position of the link 46 along the slot 45.
- a rigid connecting rod 49 is fastened at one end to the arm 50 of the lever 47 and extends upwardly adjacent the left-hand sword 51 (FIG. 1).
- the upper end of the rod 49 is fastened to a first arm 52 of a bell crank lever 53 which is pivotally supported upon the sword 51 by a mounting bracket 54.
- the second arm 55 of the lever 53 is forked to support both ends of a stud 56 which pivots one end of a connecting link 57 (FIG. 4).
- the other end of link 57 pivots upon a stud 58 retained in the forked lower end 59 of a reed lever 60.
- the reed lever 60 has an upper end 61 formed to match and carry a reed support 62 which extends across the loom to a similar reed lever (not shown).
- a reed 63 is secured to the forwardly directed face of the reed support 62 and will be pivotally supported thereby.
- the reed lever 60 pivots at a point intermediate its ends 59 and 61 upon a stud 64 supported in a boss 65 carried by the sword 51.
- the rotating cam 21 will oscillate the lever 32 and terry shaft 33 forward for one pick and backward for two picks. This motion will lower the connecting rod 49 for one pick and raise it for two.
- the bell crank lever 53 will pivot to the position shown in FIG. 3 and, by the link 57, the reed lever 60 will pivot the reed 63 to an offset position or one angular to the sword 51.
- the sword is reciprocated forward and back twice the reed 63 will be in a position to effect two partial beat-ups to a predetermined point relative to the fell. This predetermined point may be changed readily by moving the link 46 along the slot 45.
- a pivot locking device is provided to restrain the reed lever 60 against backlash forces as the reed beats-up.
- the forces of momentum at the time of beat-up may tend to pivot the reed lever 60 and, should there be any looseness at the pivotal points, inaccurate beat-up could occur.
- a U-shaped bracket 66 is fastened securely to the sword 51 in a position adjacent the arm 55 of the lever 53.
- the free arm 67 of the bracket 66 supports one end of a stud 68 extending generally horizontally inwardly of the bracket 66 (FIG. 4).
- a locking link 69 is pivotally supported on a pin 70 extending from an ear 71 formed on the lower end 59 of the lever 60.
- the link 69 is bifurcated vertically with legs 72 and 73 extending forwardly (FIGS. 2 and 4).
- the legs 72 and 73 have matching slots 74 (only one shown) longitudinally extending through which the stud 68 extends and by which the link is slidably supported.
- the stud 68 being stationary relative to the sword 51 will allow the link 69 to slide within the confines of the slot 74 as the reed lever 60 is pivoted to the two beat-up positions shown in FIGS. 2 and 3.
- a pin 75 extends between the ends of the legs 72 and 73 thus closing the opening therebetween.
- the arm 52 of the bell crank lever 53 has a lug 76 extending upwardly (FIG. 4) with a stud 77 and spherical bearing member 78.
- the bearing 78 is threaded into a lock link cam 79 having a wedge shaped upper end 80 with two arcuated sides 81 and 82.
- the end 80 is projected upwardly through the link 69 and between the stud 68 and pin 75 which together form a collar about the end 80.
- the wedge 80 will assume the positions shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 relative to the stud 68 and pin 75 when the mechanism is in the beat-up positions.
- the wedge 80 will be moved by the arm 52 and, as a beat-up takes place, the wedge will act to lock the stud 68 and pin 75 in fixed separation should any looseness be present in the upper linkage to the reed lever 60.
- positive linkage is provided to control the angularity of the reed and sword when partial beat-ups are to be made.
- the reed may be preset to take a particular angular position for the partial beatups and, with an easy adjustment, the angular position may be varied at will.
- a pivotable lever supported on said loom being fastened to said connecting rod
- an adjustable link having one end fastened to said pivotable lever and a second end adjustably fastened along said radially directed slot for varying the extent of movement transmitted to said connecting rod.
