TAKE-UP MECHANISM FOR NARROW-WARE LOOMS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 651,614, dated June 12, 1900.

Application filed October 9, 1899. Serial No. 733 017. (No model.)

county of Queens, and State of New York,

have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Take-Up Mechanism for Narrow-.VVare Looms; and we do hereby'declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference'bein g had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to take ups for looms, especially for narrow-ware looms; and its object is to provide a take-up of simple, strong, an d durable construction, reliable and eficient in operation and readily attachable to looms of various makes and construction.

The invention consists in the improved take-up and in the combination and arrange corresponding parts in each of the several views, Figure 1 is a view in side elevation of a loom provided with our improved takeup, only those portions of the loom being shown which are necessary to fully illustrate the nature of our invention. Fig. 2 is arear elevation of a portion of Fig. 1, with certain parts broken away and others removed; and- Fig. 3 isan enlarged detail view of the receiving-bobbins and their operating mechanism. i

In said drawings, a represents the loomframe; I), the batten, supported by lay-swords c in the usual mannelgand e'the'm'ain driving-shaft, which by suitable gear mechanism (not shown in the drawings) transmits motion to the take-up roller J".

On the rear portion ofthe frame a are arranged the delivery-bobbins d, from which the warp-threads g pass over suitable pulleys or sheaves h h under a rod 11, preferably of glass, which latter is supportedin brackets preferably in rear of the bracket j.

j, mounted on the loom-frame in the usual manner.

On the front beam m of the loom is secured a glass rod 41, parallel with the rod 2', while another glass rod 0 is arranged below and On the rear of the loom and below the delivery-bobbins d are secured two parallel bars p and p, in which are mounted a series of spindles q and (1, adapted to receive the receiving-bobbins and r.' Between the cross-bars p and p and above the same is revolubly' mounted a shaft 8 in frictional contact with the lower heads or flanges of the receiving-bobbins r and r. The shaft 8 is adapted to rotate the series of bobbins, and therefore in order that the shaft may properly transmit its motion. to said bobbins the spindles q and q are inclined more or less out of the perpendicular relatively to said shaft.

On the shaft sis mounted a sprocket-wheel s,.receiving its motion through a sprocketchains from a smaller sprocket wheel 8 which latter is mounted on the main drivingshaft e.

On the shaft of the takeaip roller f is secured a wheel or pulley f, transmitting its motion through an endless belt f to a wheel or pulley f which latter is securely mounted on ashaft f suitably supported in the loomframe a. On the last-mentioned shaft f is also arranged a smaller grooved pulley f connected by an endless belt f to a larger grooved pulley f which latter is mounted on theshaft it, parallel with the shaft f and also arranged in the loom-frame a.

Secured on the shaft uis a cam o in aline ment with and adapted to operate a shoe 4),-

carried by the rear portion of a treadle-lever r the front portion of which is suitably fulcrumed, as at 12 to a bracket o arranged on the floor, or, if preferred, said bracket could be secured 'to and depend from the loomframe, as will be manifest. The rear portion of the treadle-lever o is connected by a rod to to a link or lever to, one endof which is revolubly mounted on a shaft 10 while its free end is connected to the lower end of a rod or wire 10 To the upper end of said rod or wire 10 is secured a rope 00, passing over one of the sheaves or pulleys h and having its other end secured to a depending rod the lower hooked portion 00 of which forms a hearing for the traverse-rod 00 which latter is parallel to the shaft 3 and is in close proximity to the receiving-bobbins r. Said traverserod 00 is guided in its up'and-downward movement by means of bars or rods an, adapted to reciprocate in brackets 17*, as clearly shown in Fig. 3.

It may be stated that a weight :0 may be arranged on the lower end of the reciprocating bars or rods ac, if found necessary.

In the foregoing wehave described the traverse-rod and its operating mechanism, and it must be remarked that a similar mechanism is arranged on the opposite side of the loom and, if desired, can also be arranged at certain intermediate portions thereof.

On a cross-beam y in the front portion of the loom are secured a series of brackets y,

forming the bearings for a series of guide pulleys or wheels 11 which latter are in close proximity to and preferably in frictional contact with the take-up roller f for a purpose hereinafter described.

The finished fabric passes over the rod 01,

under and over the take-up roller f, over its respective guidewheel g under the rod 0, and over the traverse-rod onto thc receiving-bobbin r or r.

In operation the shafts being rotated in turn rotates the receiving-bobbins r and r, i on which latter the finished fabric is being be manifest that the length of travel of the 3 tra verse-rod m can easily be adjusted or regulated by secu ring the link to in one or the other of the openings in the arm or lever w.

IIeretofore the finished fabric after passing under and over (or vice versa) the regular take-up roller f was allowed to drop into a box or receptable placed underneath said take-up roller. The material was afterward removed from said box and wound on the receiving-bobbins. With our improved device the last-mentioned operations are automatically effected, and it undoubtedly simplifies the operation and lessens the steps necessary for the same.

We do not intend to limit ourselves to the precise construction shown and described, as various alterations can be made without changing the scope of our invention; but

hat we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
