l. (MBBS, 0F W'ARREN, MASSACHUSETTS BMPRVEMELNT iN SPOOLlNG-MACHIE'S FOR TAPE-LOOMS.

tv'peeitiration forming partof Letters Patent No. lj, dated November 2l, 1565.

To uit 'zrlwm t vmuy concern:

Be it known that I, l. GIBBS, of Warren, in thc county ol lllorccst-er and State of Massachusetts, have invented vcertain new and usefnl improvements in Machines ,for Spooling Yarn for Tape-l`looins 5 and I do hereby' de-r proved spooling-niachine for tapeloonis, and

Fig. 2 represents a back View of Fig. 1'.

In the drawings, A represents the castiron frame, having ytwo projecting ears, B l, by which the machine is fastened to the loom by screws or bolts passing through said ears into the plate ofthe leoni. The rear end oivl frame A terminatcs'with two projections, C and l), in which shaft E and journal of main gene wheel F aieuupportcd. In the upright projections G H is supported the spooling-spindlewith its tight and loose pulleys l J and the pulley 1S", from which power is communicated to the pulley l] on screw-shaft E.

. M is the spoohwhich is represented as filled with yarn. The spool is held in place upon the spindle by a spring, a., which is` provided with a projection to enter a hole in the end of the spool.

N is a yarirgnidc, the lower end of which is fastened to guide-rod 0, the formerbeing retained in position by reason of its working hctween the gnidepicce a' and frame A. The rear end of guide-rod i) is provided with a friction-roll, I), which is caused to press against the cam P by the weight Q, attached to cord c, which, passing over the roll d, is fastened to .thc guide N, as clearly indicated in the drawings.

Ris aspring-shipper, provided with a shipping-rod, S, which passes up by thc loose and fast pulleys l. and J. The front of shipper'lt is provided with a groove, e, to receiverthe lower end of the shippingpad T, which has its fulcrum at j', its lower end being held out by the spiral spring g, which is retained in a recess in frame A.' Shipper R slides and is supported in ears h It, and is forced forward into the position shown in Fig. 2 by the spiral spring 7c.

Theoperationisastollows: The empty' spool or bobbin being placed in position, shipper R is forced back and the lower end of the shipper-pad T slipped into the notch or groove e.

The thread is then passed through the slit myin guide N, and power being applied by Ameans ofa band or belt to the tight-pulleyJ, the spooling commences. As, the spool orbobbin revolves pulley L and shaft l) are caused to revolve'by means of a band passing over pulleyT K ou the spoolingspindle. .As the shaft E revolves its screw causes the large gear F and cani P to revolve, they being fastened together, thereby giving a reciprocating` motion tothe guide N, which causes the yarn to bc wound evenly upon the spool or bobbin M. The winding continues until .the spool or hobbin is full, when the upper end ofthe shipping-pad T, be-

ing'pressed out, causes the lower end to slip v from the slot or groove ein theshipper R, and thelatter, being liberated, lsprings forward into the position shown in Fig. 2, thus bringing' rod S against the driving band or belt, which is thereby guided upon the loose pulley I and the working ofthe machine stopped.

By this machine the operative can spool or wind her own bobbins without interfering materially with a proper attention to the tapelooms.

The machine is com )act and not liable to O'et out of order, and can be readily attached to the loom.

Having described my improved machine, what I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The combination, with the frame A, ofthe snpporting-brackets B B, projections or arms C D and G H, as and for the purposes stated.

2. The combination with the shipper R, ofthe spring 7.', groove e, shipper-pad T, and shipperrod S, substantially as set forth.

3. The combination of cam P, gear F, screwshaft E, with guiderod O and guide N, constructed and arranged substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

I. GIBBS.
