The quill is preferably of and thence across said heel, contacting with Wood andhas wound on it a mass (ifol' thrcad, a shoulder d" and thence alongside of or 55 the thread inthelormation ol' the mass being about the arm (1" and through the eye (Pat wound on thequill diagonally or alter the sothe end thereoii.

From the eye (1 at the end of the take-up the thread is led through the delivering-eye c and thenceto the fabric being made from the thread, it being understood that there are a .numbe. of said carriers moving in the machine in opposite directions, preferably, and changing their positions to effect the grouping of their threads, as usual, in the desired order, according to the fabric being made. I

In use, the arm (1 due to the strain on the thread being led from its eye (1, may be drawn from the full line position Figs. 1 and 2, into the dotted line position, so that the thread eye 61' occupies a position close to the delivery-eye c in which position the strain on the thread leaving the delivering eye 0 draws thread through the eye of the take-up and between the tension rollers and from the thread mass, the take-up under the action of its s )ring immediately moving away from the deiivering eye 0 more or less, according to the amount of slack thread present between said eye (1 and the delivering eye 0. As the carrier is moved in its course and the thread is delivered to the Work the arm (1 is moved forward toward the delivering eye c, and as the thread is delivered from the thread mass the arm d under the action of the spring 0 moves the eye d away from the delivering eye more or less according to the am ount 'of slack thread. The eye d of the arr d in its movements travels in a substantial iy horizontal plane and transverse the longitudinal center of the large thread mass. The lower end of the spring e may be left to prog'ect, as shown at f, so that when the thr rad breaks and the take-u meets the stop 0, as shown in Figs. 1 Hit 2, said end wil be left to occupy a position outside the edge of the bottom plate Awhere it will coaet with a suitable part of some electric stop motion.

The construction shown in Fig. 5 is similar to that shown in Fig. 2 except that the takeup arms and tension rolls are situated differently with relation to the top )late. In both the devices, however, the ta eup arm and the tension rolls have the same position relative to each other, the only difference being that in Fig. 5 these parts are placed at right angles to what they are in Fig. 2.

llaving fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. In a braiding carrier, the combination with a carrier frame having means to sustain a thread mass, of a delivery eye sustained by said frame, a tension device to act on the thread after it leaves the thread mass, and

1 a spring-controlled, pivotally mounted takeup arm arranged to act on the thread be tween the tension device and the delivery eye said arm having thread-guiding means situated in line with its axis and a thread guiding eye at its end.

' 2. In a braiding carrier, the combination with a carrier frame having means to sustain a thread mass, of a delivery eye sustained by i said frame, a tension device to act on the l thread being delivered, and a spr -lng-conendicular to the axis of the thread mass, and situated to act on the thread between the tension device and the delivery eye.

3. In a braiding carrier, the combination with a carrier frame comprising connected top and bottom plates, of means to sustain a thread mass between the plates, a delivery eye mounted on the top plate, a spring-eontrolled shaft mounted in said plates and providedat one end with a take-up arm-situated above the top plate, and a-tension del trolled take-up arm movable in a plane pervice sustained by the top plate and comprising two rolls between which the thread passes.

4. In a braiding carrier, the combination with rigidlyconnected top and bottom plates, of means to sustain a thread mass on the lower plate, a pair of tension rolls carried by the top plate, one of said rolls being spring-actuated, a delivery eye also carried by the to plate, and a spring-actuated take up mov'a le parallel to the plate and acting on the thread between the tension rolls am the delivery eye.

5. In a raiding carrier, the combination with a carrier frame, of means to sustain a thread mass thereon, a delivery eye, a springcontrolled shaft mounted in said frame and provided at one end with a take-up arm, and a projection extending from the opposite end of said shaft.

6. In a braiding carrier, the combination with carrier frame, comprising connected top and bottom plates, of means to sustain a thread mass between said plates, a delivery eye mounted on the top plate, a spring- 1 controlled shaft mounted in said plates and provided at one end with a take-up arm situated above the top plate, and a projection Y extending from the other end of said shaft.

Iii-testimony whereof, I have signed my 1 name to this specification, in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
