WILLIAM F. LUTHER, OF FALL RIVER, MASSACHUSETTS.
LOOM-REED.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 660,162, d ted, O t b r 23, 1900.
Application filed April 3, 1900. Serial No. 11,309. (No model.)
T0 at whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM F. LUTHER, of Fall River, in the county of Bristol and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Loom-Reeds and I do hereby declare that the followingis a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
This invention relates to the reeds used in looms for Weaving to keep the Warp-threads in proper order and to beat up the filling or weft threads to form the cloth. It is fully explained and illustrated in this specification and accompanying drawings.
Figure 1 is a front elevation of a reed with the improvements, the strips being cut away in parts to show the position of the wires. Fig. 2 shows a section of the reed, taken on line 2 2 in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is an end elevation showing the mode of fastening the wire to the caps. Fig. 4 shows the inner'side of one of the strips with the groove for the wire.
The object of thisinvention is to strengthen the reed in its weakest points, which are the ends. The reed being made up of slight strips of fiat wire called dents bound together by slim strips of wood wound with twine is liable to give way to the incessant heating it undergoes, and the ends are the first parts to give out. To remedy this, I put a wire in the middle of both upper and lower bars and securely fasten the ends to thecaps on the ends of the bars. This is accomplished by taking one of the two strips of wood 0 of which each bar A is made and making a groove a in the inner side of its corners next to the dents c c of a proper size to receive the wire easily and then making up the reed as usual by placing the dents between the strips 0 and binding them all together with twine. Then the groove Ct will form ahole through each barA- lengthwise,
(see the section in Fig. 2,) about in the center, next to the dents c. A piece of wire d of sufficient length to project a little from each end of the bar A is then inserted into the hole formed by the groove and its ends left projecting from the end of the bar. Metal caps D D, having holes in their closed ends corresponding with the groove a, are put on the ends of the bars, and the projecting ends of the wire are drawn taut through the caps and turned down outside and soldered to the caps to make them fast. I am aware that wires have been used on the outside of the bar for this purpose; but they are in the way in the daily use of the reed unless they are put on in the. making and covered with the binding-twine, and then they are a source of great annoyance to keep in place while making the reed. My plan gives great strength to the reed and is much less expensive to make.
Having thus described the improvements, I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. The combination in a loom-reed of a barstrip having a groove made lengthwise of it in its inner face, caps on the ends of the bars, dents held in said bars, a wire held in said groove and extending out through the caps and fastened thereto, substantially as described.
2.. As an article of manufacture a loom-reed consisting of the bars, the dents confined in said bars, the caps covering the ends of said bars, in combination with a wire extending through the middle of each bar lengthwise and having its ends fastened to said caps,
substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 31st day of March, A'.D. 190 O.
WILLIAM F. LUTHER In presence of BENJ. ARNOLD, HOWARD E. BARLOW.
