COMBINEDPILE-WIRE HOLDER AND CUTTER FOR LOOMS.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent NO. 544,142, dated August 6, 1895.

' Application filed May 27, I895. Serial No. 550,899. (No model.)

My invention relates to a combined holder and cutter for pile-wires of looms, and has for its object to provide an article of the above indicated class which will be simpler to manufacture and stronger in use than those produced hitherto.

Pile-wire holders and cutters as now constructed comprise a blade which is fitted into a sheath formed upon the wire.

According to my presentinvention the blade or cutter is made in one piece with the sheath to receive the end of the wire, and by this construction, which will be fully described here inafter and the novel features whereof I will specifically point out in the claims, I secure a much stronger pile-wire holder than has been possible to produce heretofore.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.

Figure 1 shows a blank for producing one form of my improved pile-wire holder and Fig. 2 is a section thereof on line 2 2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a side elevation of the holder and cutter formed from the blank shown in Fig. 1. Figs. 4 and 5 are cross-sections thereof on the lines 4 at and 5 5, respectively, in Fig. 3. Fig. 6 shows the article represented in Fig. 3 as connected with the pilewire. Fig. 7 is a plan view of the holder and pile-wire. Fig. 8 is a cross-section on the line Fig. 9 represents another blank for producing the pile-wire holder and cutter according to my invention. Fig. 10 illustrates the holder and cutter formed from the blank shown in Fig. 9. Fig. 11' is a side elevation of the said holder and cutter with the pilewire attached thereto, and Fig. 12 is a broken plan view of the same.

In carrying out my invention I employ a blank A, as illustrated in Fig. 1, which has an outline provided with a straight portion A and a curved portion A which in the finished article forms the knife-edge of the cuttingblade, thesaid curved portion being continued in areverse curve A as shown in Fig. 1, and from and beyond-the said reverse curve there extends a heel portion A and generally an abrupt turn or notch is formed between the portions A and A The straight back edge A of the blank is substantially parallel to the straight portion A, and is located at such a distance therefrom that the line a a drawn parallel to A and A through the notch between the portions A and A willv pass approximately midway between the said parallel lines A and A The blank having been cut of the form described the combined pile-wire holder and cutter is formed therefrom by bending that portion of the blank which extends beyond the line a a-that is, the portion having the curved outlines A A over the portion having the edge A so as to form a sheath A as will be seen best in Fig. 4. The heel portion designated as A in Fig. 3 is preferably bent into close contact with the main or blade portion A as will be seen in Fig. 5, whereby great strength is given to the said blade, and the sheath A extends only along the straight portion A. Into the said sheath I insert the end of the pile-wire B (see Fig. 7) and connect the pile-wire and the combined holder and cutter by pressing the parts together in a suitable machine. It will be understood that the blade portion A is sharpened in the usual manner and also may have a lateral bend, as indicated at A in Figs. 6 and 7.

In 'the construction illustrated in Fig. 8, the heel portion A extends only over a part of the blade portion A and the cutting edge A is formed entirely upon the said blade portion. In some cases it is desirable to further strengthen the cutter and particularly the blade portion thereof, and for this purpose I may give the blank the shape illustrated in Fig. 9, in which the parallel'lines Af and A run at approximately equal distances from the central or axial line aa in the same manner as above described in reference to Fig. 1, and the face portion A also is of the same construction as previously described, having a blade, a cutting-edge A and the reverse curve A The heel portion A however, is made of exactly the same shape as the face portion, having a curved outline A and A corresponding to A A, so that when the material is doubled up along the central line a a (which passes through the notch between the reverse curves A and A) the straight and curved edges of both the face portion and the heel portion will be superimposed to form a combined holder and cutter of the form illustrated in Fig. 10. The portions which constitute the blade or cutter proper will be bent into actual close contact, while the portions along the straight edges A A will be left separated to form a sheath in a manner similar to that illustrated in Fig. 4, and the pilewire B will be connected therewith in the same manner as explained hereinbefore.

It will be seen thatin each of the two constructions the notch, which is located upon the line a a, is so arranged that upon folding the heel portion and the face portion the parallel edges A and A will come substantially into alignment with each other.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent-- 1. The herein-described combined pile wire holder and cutter, comprising a blade portion, and a sheath extendinglongitudinally thereof and formed integrally therewith, substantially as described.

tion folded over against that end which carries the cutting edge, and spaced from the other end to form a sheath for the reception of the pile wire, substantially as described.

3. A blank for a combined pile wire holder and cutter, the said blank having a face portion and a heel portion provided with substantially straight and parallel edges, the face portion also having a curved edge adapted to form a cutter, and a notch located at the division between the face portion and the head portion and upon a line drawn approximately centrally between the parallel edges of the blank and parallel thereto, substantially as described.

4. A blank for a combined pile wire holder and cutter, comprising a face portion and a heel portion of substantially identical shape, and each provided with a curved edge adapted for a blade, and also with a straight edge adapted to form a sheath for the pile wire, substantially as described.

5. As a new article of manufacture, the herein-described blade for pile cutters, said blade being formed with a sheath extending longitudinally thereof and adapted to receive the pile wire, as set forth.
