WARPING-MACHIN E.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 699,615, dated May 6, 1902.

Application filed January 27, 1902. Serial No. 91,309. (No model.)

To aZZ whom, it may concern:

Be it known that we, JEREMIAH W. DIMIcK, Jr. ,and JosErH JAGGER,citizens of the United States, residing at Rifton, in the county of Ulster and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in \Varping- Machines, of which the following is a specification, taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, forming part of the same.

These shafts carry the two warp-beams B and B these warp-beams being rigidly secured to the shafts. The large hand-wheels D and D are also rigidly secured to these shafts, so that the warp-beams may be turned by hand, if desired. The friction-drum O is rigidly secured to the shaft B and the strap 0 engages the periphery of this drum to cause the desired tension in the warps as they are withdrawn from the warp-beam B of the friction-strap Ois connected with the lever 0 upon the outer end of which is adjustably mounted the weight C A similar tension device is usedin connection with the warp-beam B.

Upon the rigid winding-frame E is revolubly mounted the winding-drum F. The shaft of this beam has rigidly connected with it the worm-wheel F, by which the winding-beam is revolved as desired The worm G'engages the worm-wheel F and is secured to the worm-' shaft G. This shaft, which is mounted in suitable bearings in the frame E, has rigidly secured to one end of the same the handwheel G2 and at the other end thecone-pulley G It will of course be understood that a suitable belt is used engaging the cone-pulley G and a corresponding cone-pulley on a suitable counter shaft. The presser I is mounted in the lever I in suitable bearings and engages. the under surface of the warps The free end as they are wound upon the winding-beam F. This lever I is pivoted about 1 and the free end I of this lever is engaged by a stud I on a bell-crank lever pivoted about 1 The counterweight I at the other end of this bellcrank lever acts through these connections to hold the presser tightly against the warps upon the beam, so as to smooth the same as they are being wound.

The winding-clamp H is mounted on the frame E and is actuated by the eccentric 11 The strap H of this eccentric is connected with the upper member H of the clamp and serves to bring the same into proper engagement with the lower member H. This clamp is operated by the handle H connected with the eccentric H The cutting-table K is secured to the Winding-frame E at about the level of the winding-clamp. This table is provided with a series of parallel cuttinggrooves K, extending transversely across it, and with the transverse loop-slot K at the outer end of the table. This loop-slot is provided so that loops may readily be formedin all the warp threads extending across the table by pushing down the loop-rod K into the slot.

The beam-frame A is formed with the iateral extensions A on either side of the same, and to the outer end of these extensions or arms are pivoted the clamping-tables L and M, so that these clamping-tables are each adapted to cooperate with the cutting-table to which when extended into the position indicated in the drawing engages the slot K in the cutting-table and holds the clamping-table firmly in the position indicated. The reed L is mounted on the upper surface of the table L, and just behind the reed there isprovided the table-clamp L this clamp being actuated by a crank-handleL,which is linked to the upper member of the clamp, the link connection being indicated as L". It will be evident that if the clamping-tableL is moved about its pivot L, so as to assume a position Vertically below this pivot, the upper clamping-table M can then be swung down into substantially horizontal position. The

I latch M on this table will hold it rigidly in proper coaction with the cuttingtable K. This clamping-table Mis formed with the reed M and. the clamp Mfl-actuated by the members M and-M similar to the corresponding parts of the other clamping-table. Suitable guiding-rolls M M and L are provided to guide the warps through the machine.

This machineis used to rewind and tie warps to form a compound warp and is of especial utilityin producing a compound printed warp for weaving velvetcarpets. For this purpose pattern-warps are printed, Wound, set, and beamed in the usual way to produce the direct Warp-beam B and'it may be stated that in printing these warps the pattern upon them is only a half of the warp-pattern, repeating at intervals in the usual way, and also between these half-patterns suitable knotting-,

sections are provided. Upon the reverse beam-Bare wound similar half-pattern warps; but these are wound upon the beam in the opposite direction. The warps upon the direct beam would consist of a knotting-secrect and reverse beams have been led through the reeds M and L and after one set of these 'warps has been started upon the windingbeam F'for instance, the Warp-threads from the reverse beams, as indicated in the drawing-'one length of these warps is wound upon the Winding beam F.

the border to the center of a velvet carpet.

Then when the knotting-sections adjacent the ends of these pattern warp sections are brought over one of the cutting-grooves K in the cutting-table the winding-beam is stopped The looprod K is then pushed down over the warps into the loop-slot, so as to draw forward a suf-.

ficie nt length of these warps for tying. The table-clamp L is then operated to firmly hold this set of warps to the clamping-table. The warps are then severed at the ends of the sections by a knife or other implement, which is guided by the proper cutting-groove K. The latch L is then disengaged and the clamping-table L swung down into a vertical position. The clamping-table M is thereupon brought down and is clamped to the cuttingtable. The direct warps are then knotted to the ends of the corresponding reverse warps which lie upon the cutting-table, each of the direct warps being tied to the proper reverse warp by the knotting-sections on the ends of these warps. When this has been done,the

in the table K by means of the hand-wheel G if necessary the winding is stopped, the clamps are operated, and the direct warps are cut.' The clamping-table M is thereupon raised into position indicated in the drawing, the clamping-table L raised into engagement with the cutting-table,as indicated, and the ends of the reverse warps carried by this clamping-table are joined correctly to the ends of the direct warps upon the cuttingtable. In this way a compound warp is produced and wound upon a winding-beam F,

When the ends of these direct warps are broughtover one of the-cutting-grooves this warp being formed of the direct and reverse warps which are knotted together at the center and at the borders of the pattern by the knotting-sections. It is of course apparout that instead of making this compound do not, therefore, Wish to be limited to the dis-'v closure which we have made in this case; but what we claim as new, and what we wish to secure by Letters Patent, is set forth in the appended claims.
