DARIUS C. BROWN, OF LOWELL, MASSACHUSETTS. I Letters Pate-nt No. 72,967, dated January 7, 1868.

IMPROVEMENT IN' HARNESS FOR LOOMS.

T0 ALL WI-IOM IT -MAYCONCERN: f

Be it known that I, DARIUS C. BROWN, of Lowell, Middlesex county, Massaehusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in the Hanging of Heddles for Looms; and I do hereby` declare that the following is a full, uclear,- and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.

This invention relates to the hanging of the heddles in and to their frame; and it consists in hanging the series of heddles at one end, which I prefer should be the upper, upon a'eommon rod or bar of the heddle-fram, but at their opposite or lower end, alternately, and in regular order, upon Atwo bars or rods secured in and to the fra-nie, in planes parallel to and a short distance from eachother, whereby, in tliesarne width of heddle-frames, not only more heddles car be hung than wlxenvhung in the ordinary manner-an advantage of much importance--but insures the perfect drawing oli` of the heddles `hy the drawer or operator, to form the lease. In the accompanying plate of drawings my improvement in heddles for looms is illustrated- Figure 1 being a front view of a heddle-frame, having its heddles hung in it aceordingto the present invention, and l i Figure 2 a transverse vertical section taken in the plane of the line x x, tig. 1.

Similar letters'oi` reference indicate corresponding parts. Y

.A, in the drawings, represents the heddleframe, and B its heddles, the number'oi` which may be more' or less, as may be desired. These heddles, B, .are hung at their upper ends -to a common rod or bar, C,"seeured in the upper end of the heddle-'rame, butat their lower ends are alternately hung, in regular' order and succession, to and upon two parallel bars D, secured in such end of the heddle-fralne; these bars being placedat a short distance from each other, and the one back f the other. l

By hanging the h'eddles in the manner above explained, it is plainly obvious that a great amount of space or room is given to the heddle-eyes, thus enabling a. larger number of them to'be used than by the old method of hanging, and that, furthermore, the perfect-drawing of the heddles for forming the lease is insured, as, if a wrong heddle is taken in hand by the drawer, it is stopped by the one before it, owing to its being hung upoua.v

different bar or rod at its lower end.

I claim nsnew, and desire to secure by Letters Patent- Hanging the heddles in their frame at one end to a common har, but at theiropposite ends to two or more bars, substantially as and for the purpose described.

D. C. BROWN.
