LINGO' FOR Looms.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 461,638, dated October 20, 1891. Application filed July 16, 1890. Serial No. 358,902} (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN M. MARCO, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city and county of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Lingoes or Heddle-Weights for Looms, which improvement is fully set forth in the following specification and accompanying drawings.

My invention consists of improvements in lin-goes or Weights, whereby heddles may be kept in proper position and otheradvantages are obtained, as will be hereinafterfully set' forth.

Figure 1 represents a perspective view of a piece of material of which the lingo or heddleweight embodying my invention is made. Figs. 2, 3, and 4: represent perspective views of a lingo or heddle-weight embodying my invention. Fig. 5 represents a section of a portion of a heddle-Weight on line as on, Fig. 4.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several figures.

. Referring to the drawings, A designates a lingo or heddle-weight, and B designates a portion of a heddle attached thereto.

The lingo is formed of a piece of metal or other suitable material bent or doubled upon itself, forming two lengths, which are connected at one end by the neck 0 and separated the remai-ning length of the piece. On the inner faces ofthe pieces are longitudinally-extending grooves I), and on the outside of the connected ends of the two pieces of the lingo, adjacent to the neck of the pieces, are grooves E. It will be seen that the eye of the heddle may be readily connected with the lingo by inserting said eye over either of the pieces constituting the lingo, at the open end thereof, and then running the eye toward the connected end of the two pieces or parts of the same until the eye of the heddle occupies the ends of grooves E at the closed end. Owing to the grooves D, the twisted or other connected end of the eye of the heddle may readily ridethrough the grooves D until it reaches its place of occupation. The groove or recess also allows the pieces or lengths of the lingo to be closed to full extent without interference of the end of the heddle-eye.

Furthermore, the ends of the heddle are prevented from locking together, and they cannot be undone in operation, as is the case with the cord-knot, or unclasped, as with the wireheddle. Owing to the grooves or recesses E, the eye of the heddle sets snugly and comparatively flush in position and readily retains its position.

In practice 1 form the lingo or weight of half-round or square-faced wire, the same being bent or doubled and grooved or recessed, as has been stated.

Having.- thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, isv 1. A lingo formed of a piece of material doubled or bent as described and formed with grooves on the inner adjacent faces, substantially as described.

2. A lingo formed of a piece of material doubled or bent as described and formed with grooves on the inner adjacent faces and grooves on the outside of the connected ends, substantially as described.

A lingo formed of doubled material wit-l1 a groove or recess on the inner faces of the pieces comprising the same, the connectingneck of the pieces forming means of attachment for the eye of the heddle, substantially as described.
