a plication flled mum at, rare. serial no. eraser.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that T, EDWARD 1E. Bnannnr, a citizen of the United States, and resident of Stonington, in the county of New Loncially adapted for reeling machines for wind-.

ing or reeling silk warp, and the invention has for its object to provide a machine of this character in which a new and improved stop motion mechanism is employed for automatically stopping the winding operation upon the breakage or running out of a thread. 7

Another object is to provide a registering device which may be set at a predetermined point to operate a signal and stop the windmg mechanism. I

A further object is to provide certain improvements in the form, construction and arrangement of the several elements whereby the above and other named ob ects may be effectively carried out.

A practical embodiment of my invention is represented in the accompanying drawings, in which- I Fig. 1 represents a plan view of a portion of one end of a reeling machine having the driving mechanism to which my improvements have been applied, certain of the parts being broken away to show other parts more clearly,

Fig. 2 represents a front elevation of the same Fig. 3 represents a horizontal section taken in the plane of the line HI ITT of Fig. 2, looking in the direction of the arrows,

Fig. 4 represents a vertical section taken in the plane of the line'liV-TV of Fig. 2, looking in the direction of the arrows,-

Fig. 5 represents a detail vertical section of the same, with the parts shown in the position they assume when the thread breaks, a portion of the reel pulley being broken away to show other parts more clearly,

. plac ng a reel,

Fig. orepresents a vertical section similar to Fig. 4:, with the parts shown in the position they assume when removing or re F 1g. 7 represents a verticahsection similar to Flg. a with the reel in place and the parts in the positlon they assume when the registering device has been brought into position to actuate the signal and stop mo tion mechanism, and

Flg. 8 represents a detail horizontal section of the registering device and its adjacent mechanism.

In the drawings, ll have shown only one end of a reeling machine, it being obvious that standards and end frames serve to support the opposite end of the several shafts, rods,'bars and shelves in brackets and bearmgs slmilar to those hereinafter described.

A- portion of one of the vertical standards of the machine is denoted by 1 and the horizontal, bars by 2, -which bars extend from one standard to the next standard.

The supplyspools 3 are mounted on pins 4 carried by a shelf 5 supported horizontally in the standard at the back of the bars 2. The thread 6 from each spool passes upwardly over a guide bar 7. and downwardly over a bar 8, through guide eyes 9 carried by a reciprocating traverse bar 10 to a reel 11.

Detectors or fallers 12 are mounted to rock in brackets 13 supported on the bars .2 and each has formed therein at its upper direction and drop from the abutment and block its travel in the opposite direction.

The outer end of each bracket 18 is provided with a roller 19 upon which the traverse bar 10 reciprocates as is usual.

The reel 11 is removably mounted to roro rnn. n'rwoon isof such length a rocking lever 28 which is keyed to a shaft 29 carried in brackets 30, on the end standards 1. The movement of the bracket 26 is limited in one direction by means of a lug 31 cast on the lever 28, shown in dotted outline in Figs. 4, 5 and 6, while the movement in the other direction, is limited by the engagement of the pulley 20 with a friction I pad 32 which is secured to an extension 33 of the lever 28 and arranged to overhang the pulley 20. The lever 28 is rocked on the shaft 29 to the position shown in Fig. 6, by means of a handle 34 offset from the lever, the outward movement of which lever is limited by a depending arm 35 which engages a yielding buffer '36 carried in a bracket 37 secured to the standard 1. The inward movement of the lever 28 is limited by means of a set screw 38 having a threaded engagement in an car 39 on the lever 28, which set screw is arranged to engage a lug 40 on a bracket 41 fast on the standard 1,

shown in Figs. 2 and 6. The lever 28, with its adjacent mechanism, is locked in its inward position by means of a latch 42 pivoted on a stud 43 carried by the bracket 41, the free end of which latch engages a lug 44 adj ustably mounted on the lever 28 as shown in dotted outline in the several figures.

The latch 42 is provided with a depending finger 45 which has a notch 46 adapted to engage an abutment 47 on a brake 48 which is pivoted on a stud 49 fast on the standard 1. This brake 48 is provided with a pad 50 which frictionally engages the pulley 20 when the abut-ment 47 is released from the notch 46. The brake is yieldingly held in position by means ofa rod 51 pivoted' at 52 and extending downwardly through an ear 53.fast on the bracket 37, be-

- tween which ear and an adjustable collar 54 a spring 55 is interposed. The upward movement of the rod 51 is limited by lock nuts 56 which have a threaded engagement with the lower end of the rod 51. The brake 48 is also provided with a handle 57 by which it is manipulated to place the abutment '47 and notch 46 on the finger 45 into coeoperative relation.

The abutment 47 is released from the notch 46 by the following means: A horizontally arranged face cam 58 fast on a vertical shaft 59 is mounted in bearings 60, 61, carried by a bracket 62 secured-to the standard 1. A pin 63 having its lower end resting upon the face of the cam 58 is free to be moved vertically in lugs 64, offset from the bearings 60, 61, by the rotation of the 'chronously,

cam, which movement of the pin 63 causes the upper end thereof to engage a projecting portion 65. of a rocking arm 65* which is pivoted on a stud 66 fixed on a lever 67. One end of the lever 67 is pivoted at 68 to an extension 69 of the bearing 61, while the other end is connected to an arm 70 of the latclt 42 by a link 71. The rocking arm 65" is yieldingly held against a stop 72 on the bearin 60 by a spring 73 coiled on the stud 66 of the lever 67, in which position the arm is engaged by the upward movement of the pin 63. A reciprocating toe 74, fast on the end of the rod 17, serves to force the arm 65" out of the path of the vertically moving pin 63.

Power is applied to a drive pulley 75 from a suitable source, (not shown) which pulley imparts motion to its shaft 76, bevel gears 77, 78, and a shaft 79. is provided with apulley arranged in position to frictionally drive the pulley 20 on the shaft 25. The vertical shaft 59 is driven from the pulley shaft 25 through spur gears 81, 82, and bevel gears 83, 84, of which the spur gear 82 and bevel gear 83 is carried b a shaft 85 mounted in an arm 86 offset from the bracket 62.

Motion is imparted to the traverse bar 10 from the vertical shaft 59 through a crank 87 having a pin 88 which travels in a slot 89 in a bracket 90 mounted to slide upon a stud 91 carried by a clamp 92 secured to the horizontal bars 2. This bracket 90 is fixed to one end of the traverse bar 10 and has a depending pin 93 which coacts with a slot 94 in an oscillating lever 95 fulcrumcd at 96 on a guide 97 of the clamp 9 The reciprocating rod 17 derives its motion from the oscillating lever 95 by means of a collar 98 loosely mounted on the rod 17 and having a pin and slot connection 99 with the lever 95. The collar 98 is yieldingly held against a bifurcated finger 100 fixed on the rod 17, by means of a spring 101 interposed between the reciprocating toe 74 and the collar. The finger 100 is arranged in slidable engagement with the guide 97 to prevent the rod 17 from turning.

To place the detectors 12 in position synwith the rotary movement of the reel, I provide a horizontally arranged bar 102 carried in arms 103 mounted on a rock shaft 104 journaled in the standards 1, which bar 102 is arranged to engage the detectors and raise them to a stop bar 105 supported in the standards, where they will be held by the tension of the thread passing from the spool to the reel. The rock shaft 104 is moved simultaneously with the brake 48 by means of a lever 106 mounted to rock on a stud 107 projecting from the bracket 41, one end of which lever is provided with a lug 108 which directly engages the brake 48, while the other end is connected to an tt'antea apart, the interval between two numbers be- 7 15 in will move for winding two hundred yards.

or the distance which the registering wheel The worm wheel 116 is provided with an elongated hub 117 (see Fig. '8 theouter end of which has a screw threaded engagement with a stud 118' secured to the standard 1 so that as the worm-wheel is rotated it will be moved laterally on the stud. The bearings 114 for the shaft 113 are connected by a hanger 119, which is pivoted to the standard 1 by means of a pin 120, thus allowing the shaft 113 to be rocked so that the worm 115 may be lowered far enough to. be out of gear with the worm wheel 116 and at the same time lifting the worm-wheel 112 out of mesh with the worm 111 on the shaft 25, in which position the worm-wheel 116' may be run back by hand to the position for starting the measurement. This position for starting the measurement is determined by a stop 121 onthe worm-wheel coming in contact with an adjustable stop finger 122, secured to the standard 1. To positively rock the shaft 113 when the worm 111 is taken out of mesh with the worm! wheel 112, I provide the hanger with a spring 123, the tension of which is to draw I the coacting worms and worm-wheels apart.

A stop pin 124 limits the movement of the hanger 119 in one direction. In order to keep a uniform tension on the worm. wheel 116 to prevent it from running too freely, the hub 117 is provided with a weight 125 and a flexible connection 126, which is secured to the hub and wound thereon as the worm-wheel 116 is rotated.

In order to provide for the stoppage of the machine after a predetermined quantity or length of thread has been reeled, it provide an index finger 127 having a split collar 128 which is adjustably secured on the hub 117 by a set screw '129 and a tail 130. The indexfinger 127 indicates the number of yards to be reeled, while the tail 130, which is'diametrically opposite, is constructed'to engage a latch which is formed by a bell crank lever 131' pivoted at 132,'one arm of which leverhas a lug 133 arranged to coact with a notch 134 in the arm 135 of a signal 136. This signal 136, when released, is free to rock by gravity, on the stud'68 and is provided with a stop piece 137 which is swung into and out of the path of an elongated projection 138 which depends from the toe 74 and reciprocate with the traverse bar 10 and rod 17. The stop-piece 137 has an upturned end 139 which is arranged inpositlon to engage the projection 138 and 110161 the signal in position to an with the upturned end 139in thepath of the projection, if the s1gnal is tripped intermediate of 1ts stroke. The outward movement of the signal 136 is controlled by a stop" 140, which is en aged by the arm 135, as shown in Fig. T is stop 140 also serves to hold the bell crank lever 131 in a position to be en aged by the notch 134 in the arm 135 upon t ere-- setting of the signal. A shield 141 is fixed to the stud 132 to cover and protect nal when out of use.

It will be seen, from the foregoing description, that the reel pulley 20 forms an intermediary in the drive from the pulley 80 to the traverse and registering devices.

In practice, assuming that the parts are in their operative position, as shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 4, the pulley 20 being in contact with the continuously rotating pulley 80 of the shaft 7 9, the thread will be drawn from the spools 4, wound upon the reel 11 and the number of yards indexed. Upon the breaking of a thread, the detector of that particular thread will fall by gravity rearwardly until the finger 15 rests either on or in the path of the abutment 16 on the rod 17 which is being reciprocated with the traverse bar 10. Y

If the finger 15 falls on the abutment 16, the rod 17 will still continue to move forwardly until the end of the stroke is reached, at which position the abutment will have passed from beneath the finger which falls from the abutment and prevents the return movement of the rod 17, as shown in Fig. 5.. The pulley 20 will continue to rotate and impart motion .to the vertical shaft 59 through the train of gears 77, 78, 81, 82, until the cam 58 reaches the pin 63 and, as the toe 74 is locked with the bar 17, the arm 65* will remain in the path of the pin 63, which, by action of the cam 58 will lift the arm 65*. The lifting of the arm 65" will operate the. latch 42 through the arm 70 and link 71 to disengage the notch 46 on the arm 44 from the abutment 47 on the brake 48,

which, by the action of the spring 55, will nism is stopped because of the disengagement of the pulleys 20 and 80.

To start the reel, the operator presses the the sig-' handle 57 of the brake 48 downwardly until the abutment 47 engages the notch 46 which locks and places the brake 48 under the tension of the spring 55. Simultaneously, the downward movement of the brake 48 acts upon the lug 108 of the lever 106, which actuates the arm 109 by the link 110, rocks the shaft 104 and moves the rod 102 to lift the detectors to the bar 105 and the fingers from the abutments 16. When the pressure of the brake 48 is released from the The width of the teeth in the worm wheel,

is such, that, its lateral movement will be limited to its engagement with the worm 115. This lateral movement of the wormwheel 116 and hub 117 also carries with it the tail 130 of the index finger 127 which has been previously set at the desired point on the worm-wheel 116, so that, in its rotary and lateral movements, it will gradually bring the tail 130 into contact with the bell crank lever 131 and rock the same, thereby liberating the lug 133 from the hotch 134 which allows the signal 136 to fall outwardly to the position shown in F ig. 7, in which position the upturned end 139 of the stop piece 137 will swing into the path of the elongated pro ection 138 which travels with the rod 17. hen the rod 17 is stopped, the pulley 20, as previously described,-will again continue to rotate the vertical shaft 59 .until the cam 58 reaches the pin 63 whereupon the pin 63 will lift the arm 65* which actuates the latch 42 to disengage the notch 46 and abutment 47 and the brake 48 again forced upwardly to grip the pulley and lift it from the pulley 80 to stop the machine. r

To swing the reel out of operative relation with the driving mechanism, the latch 42 is pressed downwardly to disengage the lug 44 therefrom and the arms 28 rocked on the shaft 29 by the handle 34, which is pulled outwardly until the depending arm 35 strikes the yielding buffer 36, as shown in Fig.6, in which position the reel may be freely manipulated. When the worm 111 and worm-wheel 112 have been disengaged, the spring 123 willrock the hanger 119 worm 115, so that the worm 115 will be thrown out of gear with its worm-wheel 116, which will be free to be turned backward by hand to remeans being -set it to zero or the starting point, in which position the stop 121 on the wheel will be in contact with the adjustable stop finger 122.

It is evident that various changes ma be resorted to in the form, construction an arrangement of the several parts without departing from the spirit and scope of my invention; hence I do not wish to limit myielf strictly to the structure herein set forth,
