JACQUARD IVIECHANISM' FOR LOOlVlS.
SPECIFIQATION forming part of Letters Patent No- 687,813, dated December 3, 1901. Application filed March 22, 1901. Serial No. 52,298. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern: 7
Be it known that 1, PAUL BENDIX, a citizen of Germany, residing at Dulmen, in the Province of Westphalia, Kingdom of Prussia, Germany, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Jacquard Mechanism for Looms, of which the following is a specifica tion, reference being had therein to the ac companying drawings.
The subject of the present invention is improved apparatus for automatically alternating ground and weft-border patterns in weav ing with leaf-looms, jacquai'dmachines, and Hitherto in weaving with leaf-looms the alternating of the patterns has had to be effected by the hand of the weaver, in the case of jacquard-machines either by hand or automatically by means of the pattern-card, and with reversing looms automatically by the pattern-card. I-Iand alternation, however, presents certain drawbacks, inasmuch as the operation is uncer tain and occupies much time. Automatic alternation by means of the pattern-card has the disadvantage that the change can only be effected according to the number of Weftthreads, so that, since an equal number of Weft-threads does not always produce the same length of article, it is not possible to weave to a definite length. These defects are overcome by means of the present invention, which enables the ground and weftborder patterns to be alternated exactly according to the length of the article, as also automatically. 7
The invention as applied to a leaf-loom is shown in the annexed drawings.
Figure 1 is an end elevation of a portion of a loom to which the invention has been applied. Fig. 2 is a portion of the same shown in front elevation. Figs. 3, 4, and 5 are detail views to be hereinafter referred to.
dis the framing of the loom, to which a frame b is secured, carrying a shaft c,'on one end of which,'below the needle-frame d, is mounted a double wiper 6, having the form of a flat ellipse. At the opposite end of the shaft 0 is mounted a square shaped cam f. A spring-plate g is provided below this cam to insure its assuming the correct position of rest after each operation. Figs. 4 and 5 by side and end views, respectively, show the shaft 0 with wiper e and cam f separately.
To the framing a of the loom is also secured a plate It. To the latter is pivoted at k a lever 01, guided at its upper end by a slot Z. The lever z' is kept in its normal position by means of the spring m. Lugs 92 and n are provided on the lever 2', and in these lugs slides a rod 0, which below the lug 91 carries a toe p and below the lug n is provided with a screwthread. Between the toe p and lower lug n is arranged a spiral spring g, by means of which the toe p is kept pressed against the upper lug n. Tothe plate h is also pivoted at r a double-armed lever s, the one arm of which is bent so as to constitute asurface to support the sliding draw-hook t, which is secured to the shaft 12 of the card-cylinder, and thus receives a reciprocating motion. The other end of the lever s is jointed to a rod 1;, at the upper end of which is provided a toe u. This rod 2; is guided in a lug 10, secured to the plate hand is provided with a nut 1 at its lower end to form an abutment for a spiral spring 2, which encircles the lower part of the rod 1) and bears against the lug w above. By means of this spring 2 the rod 7; is drawn downward. V
During the weaving operation the hook t occupies the position shown in Fig. 1, reciprocating inoperatively upon the plane surface presented by the bent end of the lever s. In order, now, to change the pattern from ground to weft-border pattern, or vice versa, this support 8 must be removed. The manner in which this operation is effected will now be described.
Above the chain 3, determining the length of the article being woven, a grooved pulley 4 is arranged, providedwith a tooth or nose 5. 6 and 7 are two similar projections on the chain 3, and when the pattern is to be changed one or other of the noses 6 7 contacts with the nose 5. The latter will thus be carried along through a certain distance, whereby a partial rotation of the pulley 4: is effected and its rope 8 correspondingly wound up. The other end of this rope is secured to a nut 9, screwed to the rod 0, so that by the partial rotation of the pulley 4 the rod 0 is drawn downward against the actioniof the spring q. The toe p will, as the rod 0 is drawn down, slide 0d the too 11. and by the action of spring m will be pushed belowthis toe to. When, now, the nose 6 or 7 releases the nose 5, the spring q will project the rod 0 upward, and the toe p, pushing against the toe u, will cause the rod 0 to rise likewise. The result will be that the lever s will turn on its fulcrum and the bent arm will be removed from the hook t. (See Fig. 3.) The book 15 being thus unsupported falls upon the cam f and will engage one of the rounded corners of the latter. On retreat of the hook 15 through motion of the card-cylinder the cam f will thus be given a quarter-rotation, a corresponding rotation being transmitted to the wiper e. According as the latter at the moment occupies a vertical or horizontal position the quarter-rotation will cause it to take up a horizontal or vertical position, and thus respectively raise or lower the needle-frame '01, whereby the pattern is changed as desired. As the cam f rotates one of its corners will contact with a projection 11, secured to a bent arm 10, the slotted upper end of which embraces the shaft 0, while the other end is connected to the lever 7:. will thus displace the levervl laterally,whereby the toep will be released and again pressed upward against the lug n by the spring 7. When the cam f has completed a quarterrotation, the lever i under the influence of spring m will return to its original position. The toe u and the lever s will likewise again take up their first position. The lever sis thus again brought under the hook t, which will thus again commence to reciprocate upon the support thus presented. This cycle of operations will be repeated each time the nose 5 is engaged by one of the projections 6 7 on the chain 3.
It will be clear that the invention may be equally well applied to other descriptions of loom.
The device for efiecting the connection between the contrivance for determining the length of the article being woven and the machine and the manner of actuating the latter by such contrivance may obviously be other than that described without the main feature of the invention being departed from.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
