LASHING DEVICE FOR CARD-PUNCHING MACHINES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 782,500, dated February 14, 1905. Application filed July 9, 1903. Serial No. 164,855.

To an whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CURT HANDWEROK, a subject of the Emperor of Germany, residing at 22 Carolinenstrasse, Leipsic, in the Kingdom 5 of Saxony and Empire of Germany, have invented new and useful Improvements in Lashing Devices for Card-Punching Machines, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to a lashing device for I I card-punching machines for the manufacture of pattern-cards by means of drawings of the design which have no bindings, use being -,tion of which resembles that of a simple loom,

2 is represented in the accompanying drawings,

wherein Figures 1 to 3 are diagrams showing horizontal sections of the same, and Fig. 4 is a diagram showing an elevation of the same.

2 with devices for introducing the bindings put in connection with a card-punching machine of known construction. resentative example of the entire punching machine.

the ruler, and H the card-punching machine. For the sake ofclearness the division of the points of design in the drawing of the design is made as large as the division of the simple cords ZS. By way of example I have represented the adjustment of the weft-shed of the fabric, which corresponds to the weft-line indicated by the ruler J For each differently binding part of the drawing of the de- 4 sign there is a set of lash-cords LS, the number of which corresponds to a repetition of bindings. In Fig. 1 the part M of the drawing of'the design has satin binding, the part V1 has twill binding, and the ground M has linen binding. The groups of lash-cords LS LS, LS appertaining to the'several parts of the drawings of the design, are interlaced in the groups according to the binding with the simple cords ZS ZS ZS as shown in 5 Figs. 1, 2, and 8, for the uppermost lash-cord Fig. 5 shows a repi M designates the drawing of the design, J

of each of the three groups. The lash-cords are fastened so as to yield, being attached on the one hand, for example, to hooks 1 1 1 and on the other hand conducted over rolls2 2 2 and having weights 3 3' 3" suspended from their free ends to produce tension. In order to facilitate the finding of the simple cords in the lashing, a ruler corresponding to the ruler arranged in front of the drawing of the design is provided in front of each group. This arrangement is not represented, because in the diagram the division of the drawing of the'de'sign agrees with the division of the simple cords and would cover too much the arrangement of the rulers'on the groups of lashcords. According to the drawing of the de sign and having regard to the binding for V the respective part of the weft-line or the repetition, of the same, it is necessary in the lashing to separate, with the aid of the corresponding lash-cord LS, the simple cords to be used for the part of the drawing of the designf0r:instance, the simple cords ZS in Fig. 1, the simple cords ZS in Fig. 2, the simple cords ZS in'Fig. 3 from the other simple cords not corresponding to the respective'parts of the drawing of the design. It is clear and also evident from the diagrams that the respective binding-points drop out, inasmuch as the simple cords ZS appertaining to them remain in their-position of rest.

As the lashing of the pattern according to the drawing of the design can take place only in succession for the several parts of the drawing of the design, it should be possible to fix the lashing for such a part as has at any time" been finished. For this purpose I provide in front of each group of lash-cords a rod 1,4, or 1, arranged to be displaced parallel to itself in the vertical direction and upon which sliderings 5 6 or 5 6 or 5" 6" can be adjusted. These slide-rings have pins 7 8 or 7 8' or 7" 8", 'over which the lash-cord drawn forward is laid. As shown in Figs. 1 to 3, it is expedient to connect with each slide-ring 5 a ruler 9, adapted to be displaced parallel to the corresponding rod 1 in an arm 10 on the slide-ring 5. After the adjustment of the respective lash-cord the ruler 9 is pushed behind the drawn-out simple cords ZS after the respective gut-cords LS have been adjusted in order to prevent the former from moving back. Ruler 9 serves, further, as an appropriate and safe support for the drawn-out simple cords ZS. The gut-cord LS alone cannot fulfil this purpose, as it is bent backward by the tension of the simple cords on account of its flexibility. On the other hand, all the simple cords ZS which lie close to ruler 9 are arranged inone straight line. In this manner the simple cords rise all to exactly the same height.

The large rule J X serves with its division solely for fixing the warp-lines for the respective weft-line of the design for which the card has to be punched. The purpose of rule 9 will be further explained as follows: Fig. 4 shows that the simple cords ZS are attached with their lower ends to rod a, secured to the floor by means of holders (Z1 (62. The simple cords connect here with horizontal cords Z in the same manner like in all other simple looms. The horizontal cords are fastened with one end to a perpendicular stationary rod 0 and run over rolls f. From their other ends are suspended in the present case the abutmentslides (Z for stamps e of punching-machine H. The abutment-slides (Z slide in guides it it, respectively, In M, and are provided with springs (Z1, which press them into the position of rest. In this position aperture (Z2, provided in abutment-slide (Z, is placed before the end of stamp e, belonging thereto. As slides (Z are pressed into the position of rest by springs (Z1 they pull upon cords 5. As long as the simple cords-ZS are stretched the gut-strings 6 remain also extended. However, if simple cords ZS are drawn forth according to the design, and thus shortened in their length, as shown in Fig. 4, then the gut-strings 61 b2 b3 b4, belongingthereto,arelikewisedrawn through, and thus shortened, so that the abutment-slides (Z, suspended therefrom, are pushed forward, their aperture (Z2 being drawn away from in front of the corresponding stamp e. For example, in Fig. 4 simple cord ZS for the gutstring In remains in its stretched position. Consequently 61 is likewise stretched and aperture (Z2 in the abutment-slide (Z belonging thereto is placed before stamp 6, allowing thus the latter to be moved back without difficulty. Stamps 0 are arranged in a stationary punching-plate 2'. The front ends of the stamps extend into a punching-plate Zr, firmly connected with a pressure-bar [c2 and provided with slitlvi for card M to be punched. Stamps 0 are further provided with bands 6, serving as stops against the stationary rail 2'.

In the rear of these stamps engages punch ing-plate is, connected, by means of arms lei/h, with punching plate is, respectively, with pressure-bar 102. Fig. 5 shows that pressurebar 702, with slide-shoes Zr It, is free to move guides [1/1 lb. The movements of the pressurebar are controlled by eccentric H3, keyed on shaft H4, said shaft resting in bearings H5 of the guide-frame H1 H2, so that it can be 0perated either by hand or by machinery. If the pressure-bar advances-toward stamps c, the card is inserted into slit Lu. All those stamps e which do not find M", which has to be punched in their abutment, are prevented by said abutment from moving backward and punch, therefore, the card, while those stamps before which the aperture of their abutment is placed are pushed forward by the card without punching the latter.

With the aid of this simple device the outlines of the bindings may also be kept clear, it being only necessary for the lasher to separate from the simple cords to be drawn forward as many of the limiting-points of design as are to remain free from bindings, having regard to the binding-points in the simple device, which serves as a binding device, the number of these points of design which is considered requisite being stated in the drawing of the design. Moreover, the introduction of bindings of threads not forming the design at any time among the others is rendered possible by the described device. However, it is necessary for this purpose to provide special groups of lash-cords for the introduction of further bindings.

The lash-cords of the groups of bindings may be interlaced by hand; but this may also be effected rapidly by a Jacquard device connected with the simple cords and forming a shed into which the lasher needonly place the cord.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
