SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 573,623, dated December 22, 1896. .Application filed -Innc 8, 1896. Serial No. 594,651. (Nomade-l.)

T0 @ZZ whom, t muy concern:

Beit known that I, FRANCIS H. RICHARDS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Hartford, in the county of Hartford and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Jacquard Mechanism, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to Jacquard mechanism, and especially to such a mechanism adapted for use in connectionv with a keyoperated apparatus-for instance, a typewriting machine-and by means of which indications may be selectively recorded on a belt or other device which I hereinafter term a jacquard, and the latter operated to actuate a driven apparatus controlled by the indications so recorded.

The main object of this invention is to provide a jacquard having two portions, on one of which the desired indications may be recorded and such portion of the jacquard advanced at one rate of speed, and the other of which portions can be actuated independently of the rst portion, and differentially relatively thereto, to operate a driven apparatus independently in time and speed with respect to the recordation. of the indications of the first portion of the jacquard.

Another object of this invention is to furnish a jacquard having a plurality of settable indicating-actuators shiftable from an unset or non-working position to a set or working position, or vice versa, these indicating-actuators being carried bythe jacquard in such a manner that they may be readily moved from one position to the other, and thus permit the selective setting of any desired combination on the jacquard at the will of the operator.

Another important obj ect of this invention is to provide a plurality of key-operated devices operative for recording on one portion of a jacquard successive indications correspondin g to the characters controlled by such keys, and a plurality of devices corresponding to such keys and adapted to be operated at another point in the jacquard in accordance with the indications recorded thereon by said keys, it being understood that it is my intention to take o such indications from the jacquard in a machine such as will be hereinafter more particularly described entirel y independently in time and speed of the recordation of such indications by the keys of the apparatus. Moreover, as it is obvious that any key-operated apparatus of the general class hereinbefore referred to should be operative to record successive new series of indications upon the jacquard, as successive new combinations of characters, words, the., are produced by the selective actuation of the keys by the operator, some means must be employed, if an endless jacquard be used, for removing the recorded indications after the operation of the actuated devices controlled thereby. After the indications are recorded by the setting of the indicating-actuators hereinbefore referred to, the removal of such indications will be eiective by resettingmeans operati ve for restorin g such indicatingactuators to their unset positions after'the operation of the actuated devices.

As is well understood, the selective operation of the keys which form the keyboard of a type-writing or similar machine is necessarily intermittent, and hence the operation 0f that portion of the jacquard on which indications are recorded by such keys should also be intermittent. Preferably such portion of the jacquard will advance the same interval on each depression of a key in order that the indications may be regularly spaced thereon. It is not necessary, however, that the operation of that portion of the jacquard at. which such recorded indications are utilized to operate the actuated devices or type-controlling devices of the apparatus should be intermittent or should have any special dependence upon the movement of the indication-receiving portion of the jacquard, either with respect to the time when the indications are recorded or the speed with which they are to .be taken off at the other portion of said jacquard. I prefer to record these indications on one run, this indication-receiving runbeing intermittently advanced on the depression of the selected keys, while the other run is normally continuously advanced, so as to operate the actuated devices regularly until a determined series of indications has been taken off and such run has reached the limit of that period of its operation. In the present case I prefer to employ an endless jacquard having a bodily movement endwise in IOO one or the other direction-due to the differential movements of its respective runsmeans being employed for preventing the advance of one or the other of such runs when the jacquard reaches one or the other end of its range of movement, so as to permit the unblocked run to continue to advance and thus carry the jacquard as a whole in the other direction, whereby a balance is maintained at all times between the movements of the two runs and neither run'is permitted to continue its advancing movement beyond the correspondinglimit of the resultant movement of the whole jacquard until the other run has caught up. It will be apparent,there fore, that if the indications are recorded on one run of the jacquard intermittently and irregularly in point of time, as is generally the case, they will be taken oif at the other run independently of the movement of the indication-receiving run and in a regular manner, and hence the operation of the jacquardactuated devices will not be aii'ected in any wise by irregularities in the speed or touch of the operator.

In the drawings accompanying and forming part of this specification, Figure l is a sectional side elevation of a type-writing machine embodying my present invention, parts of the mechanism being broken away to show more clearly the construction; Fig. 2 is a sectional plan of the forward portion of the same with parts removed. Fig. 3 is an enlarged sectional detail side elevation of the Jacquard mechanism of the machine with parts of the general framework removed. Fig.

et is an enlarged transverse broken sectional elevation looking from the front of the machine, the section being taken in line a d, Fig. 3. Fig. 5 is a sectional plan of the front of the machine with the jacquard and the upper portions of the mechanism removed. Figs. 6 to S, inclusive, are details of the jacquard and illustrate successive steps in the blocking of the movements of one of the runs and of the actuating devices therefor. Figs. 9 to ll, inclusive, are similar views illustrating the same steps in the operation of disconnectin g the actuating mechanism of the other run from such run. Figs. l2 to 1,5, inclusive, are enlarged detail views illustrating successive steps in the operation of the combined jacquard-actuating and jacquard-actuated apparatus for advancingthe indication-transferring'run, for transferring the indications to the jacquard-actuated devices, and for restoring the primary jacquard-actuated devices to their normal positions after the setting and operation of the same. Figs. 1G and 17 are sectional detail views illustrating the operation of the indicating-actuators of 'the jacquard by the key-operated devices. Fig. 1S is a detail plan of a portion of the indicating-actuators of the jacquard.

Similar characters designate like parts in all the figures of the drawings.

Any suitable framework may be employed At the forward en d of the machine the usual Caligraph keyboard, having seventyeight character-keys and two space keys, (each designated in a general way by K,) is represented, each of such keys being shown connected in a suitable manner to key-levers, such as L, of ordinary construction. These key-levers are movable between two extreme positions controlled, respectively, by the stops 7 and 7', and are pivoted on the crossbar 5, being normally held up against the stop 7 by means of suitable springs, such as G.

The jacquard which I employ may be any suitable traveler adapted to have indications recorded thereon at one point in its movement and to control by means of such indications the actuation of corresponding operated devices-such, for instance, as the typearms of a type-writing machine. In the present case the jacquard which I preferto use is illustrated as in the nature of an endless band or belt capable of rotative and bodily movement, preferably longitudinally of the machine, for the purpose of permitting the actuation of one run thereof differentially relatively to the movement of the other run,

although any other form of device having two differentially-movable ru us may be employed, if desired.

In the drawings thel endless belt or band is shown at J, provided with two circuits of driving-sockets, such as S and 8', at its respective opposite sides, the sockets of each circuit being spaced at regular intervals, which interval is the same for both circuits. The walls of these drivin g-soekets are adapted to be engaged by corresponding teeth or driving members, and two similar driving-gears, such as 9 and 9', are represented carried for rotation, as by means of the rod l0, journaled in the side frames 2 and2' of the machine, these gears being adapted to coperate with the walls of such socket for the purpose of advancing the upper run of the jacquard each time the gears are rotated the interval between two teeth.

The operation of the gears 9 and 9' is illus- 'trated herein as effected directly from the keys Kby means of a pair of ratchet-wheels ll and ll in fixed relation, respectively, with the gears 9 and 9', these ratchet-wheels being engaged by pawls, such as l2 and l2', carried by a universal bar controlled by the IOS IIO

keys K, the pawls normally being held in the usual manner in engagement with the teeth of their respective ratchet-Wheels. This universal bar is represented at U, extending entirely across the machine beneath and immediately adjacent to the bank of key-levers L and mounted at its ends in a pair of rockarms 13 and 13', journaled on studs carried by the side frames 2 and 2, springs, such as 1i and 14', being shown also normally holding the rear ends of these rock-arms against corresponding stops 15 and 15.

It will be apparent from the foregoing that the key-levers, the universal bar, the gears, and the pawls carried by the universal bar constitute actuating means intermittently operative for bodily advancing the jacquard on each depression of a key.

As has been hereinbefore stated, the endless jacquard is bodily movable for the purpose of permitting the upper and lower runs to be operated at different speeds. In the present case this bodily movement is rendered possible by supporting the jacquard on a carrier mounted on the side frames 2 and 2 and beneath and adjacent to the keyboard of the machine, this carrier being shown guided by suitable ways and movable between two extreme positions, the guides being preferably in the nature of inclined runways supporting and guiding such carrier. The jacquardcarrier is shown in the drawings as a substantially rectangular frame formed by a pair of end pieces or rods 1G and corresponding side pieces or connecting-rods 17, the rods 16 having reduced portions at their outer ends adapted to be engaged by the walls of the runways, such as yr and r', in the sides of the main frame. Each of these rods 1G also has mounted thereon a rotary carrier, these carriers, being represented in the present instance as drums 1S, extending'from one side of the mainframework to the other, and adapted for supporting the endless jacquard. Said cylinder carriers are preferably rotary, in order to reduce the friction duringthe rotative travel of the jacquard, but it is obvious that fixed cylindrical carriers might be employed, if desired, and that the jacquard would then slip over the faces of such carriers instead of rotating' the same by the rotative jacquard movement.

Any suitable means may be employed for recording the desired indications upon the jacquard as its upper run is caused to advance by the operation of the selected keys. 1 prefer, however, to record these indications by the setting of selected members carried by the jacquard and movable relatively thereto and adapted to actuate the devices which are controlled by the indications of the jacquard. Hence it will be apparent that my invention contemplates the provision of a jacquard having a plurality of settable members, each adapted to be shifted from one position to another, the setting of these members eecting the recordation of the desired indications and the set members being operative for actuating settable jacquard-actuated means. These settable members I term indicatingactuators, as theynot only indicate that the operation of a determined device or mechanism may take. place, but form the means for operating such actuated part or parts.

1t will be obvious that .the jacquard will have a plurality of such indicating-actuators, and these are illustrated at p, carried in a circuit extending, preferably, completely around the jacquard. As the upper run of the jacquard has also been described as advanced the same interval at each depression of a key, the indicating actuators are represented spaced equidistantly longitudinally of the jacquard and carried in transversely-separated longitudinal series, the positioning of the several indicating-actuators being such that they are also arranged in transverse series perpendicular to such longitudinal series. 1t will be evident that the indicating-actuators are positioned in the manner just described for the purpose of providing a separate longitudinal series of such actuators for each key-lever and for the further purpose of bringing one indicating-actuator of each of such longitudinal series into position to be operated from its respective key-lever each time the upper run of the jacquard is advanced a space by the actuation of any key. Hence it lwill be apparent that an indication may be recorded at any point transversely of the upper run of the jacquard on the depression of a key corresponding to such indication, and that on successive actuations of the key-levers a series of indications will be recorded, which may be located at different points transversely of the jacquard.`

One form of indicating-actuator adapted to record indications on the jacquard and subsequently to operate jacquard-actuated means is represented in the present case as a jacquard-pin, (see Figs. 3, 4, 16, 17, and 18,) seated in a suitable aperture in the jacquard and oscillatory from such aperture as a center. Each jacquard-pin is preferably formed with a shank portion 19, normally frictionally lOO IIO

IIS

held by the walls of the aperture in the rubber or leather band which is shown forming the jacquard, and eac-h pin also has an oset portion consisting of a shoulder 19 and is provided with a head 19, parallel with the shank.

1 have also illustrated herein setting means for setting a determined number of the indicating actuators, the setting means being shown selectively operative and in the nature of setting-actuators, such as 20,carried,respec tively, by the key-levers L, these setting-actuators having cam-faces, such as 20', adapted to engage the heads 19" of the indicating-actuators to shift or oscillate the sameV from their normal unset positions to the set positions, in which the indicating-actuators will be operative for moving the jacquard-actuated means. The lower run of the jacquard IZO is intended to be operated entirely independently of and diiferentially relatively tothe movement of the upper run. For the purpose of so actuating such lower run a continuously-rotative band-wheel is shown at D, carrying a crank or eccentric rod 2l, operating a rock-arm 22, fixed on a rock-shaft 23, journaled in the side frames 2 and 2', this rockshaft also having fixed thereon a rock-frame, hereinafter more particularly described, embodying a rock-arm 2i, (see Fig. 5,) having hinged thereto actuating means in the form of a long push-pawl, such as 25, normally held with its point in engagement with the walls of the drive-sockets 8 in the jacquard, the pawl being kept in place by means of a spring, such as 26. It will be seen that at Eeach rotation of the band-wheel I) the pawl 25 normally will operate to advance the lower run ofthe jacquard in the direction indicated by the arrow in Fig. 3, and the throw of this pawl is such that said run will be actuated the interval between two adjacent sockets at each rotation of the band-wheel, so that the Vlower run will advance with a regular stepby-step movement.

In my present application I have shown the jacquard-actuating means for the lower run as combined with jacquard-actuated means to form a combined jacquard-actuating and jacquard-actuated apparatus having its jacquard-actuating movement operative for independently actuating the lower run ofthe jacquard and receiving its j acquard-actuated movements from said lower run, and preferably alternately with such jacquard-actuating movement and on the operation of said lower run. This jacquard-actuated means, which will also be referred to as the primary7 jacquard-actuated means, is represented embodying a rock-frame fixed on the rock-shaft 23 and having a plurality of rockarms, such as .28, (see Fig. 5,) supporting a rock-bar or tumbler-carrier bar, such as 2Q, carrying a plurality of independently-operative actuated devices or tumblers controlled, respectively, by the respective longitudinal lseries of indicating-actuators carried by the jacquard. These tumblers are illustrated at t as' oscillatory andare normally disposed in unset positions, but are settable by the jacquard', whereby they are oscillated to their set positions, this oscillation being effected in the present case by the direct action of the indicating-actuators, although I do not limit Vmy invention to the operation of such tumblers by means-of indicating-actuators traveling with a jacquard. The tumbler-carrier vbar is shown in the drawings (see Figs. 4 and 5)- as kerfed to form a series of alined tumbler-separating members, such as 30, having also registering apertures through which a tumbler carrier or rod, such as 3l, is illustrated passed, and on which rod the tumblers are supported so as'to be independently 'oscillatory, it being evident that the tumblerseparating members 30 will prevent interference of the tumblers with one another and will maintain the same against movement transversely of the machine. It should be understood Athat the tumblers will be held in frictional engagement with the adjacent faces of the tumbler-separating members, so that when any tumbler is in one position it will have no tendency to move until it is positively actuated.

For the purpose of limiting the movements of the tumblers, stops are provided for stopping the same in their set and unset positions alternately, these tumbler-stops being represented herein carried by the tumbler-carrier bar and preferably between the tumbler-separating` members, the stops shown beingillustrated at 32 and 32', dispose-d in pairs, one pair between each pair of tumbler-separating members, the stops of each pair forming, preferably, the rear walls at the bottom of each kerf and converging toward the mouth of such kerf.

' The tumblers t are preferably interchangeable, and each of them is represented herein y having a face 33, inclined toward `the jacquard and adapted to be engaged by its respective indicating-actuator and carried away from the jacquard, the oscillation of the tumblei` to its set position being effected bysuch movement. Each of these faces 33 is also illustrated (see Figs. 3, 4, and 12) havinga channel therein in the path of its set indicatingactuator to thereby guide such actuator between the walls of said channel during the travel ofl the actuator along and over the faces Each tumbler is also shown having'a depending arm 34, adapted to operate a secondary actuated device, the movement of such secondary device being accomplished, preferably, after the tumbler is set and not by the setting movement of such tumbler. In the present case the oscillation of the rockframe carrying the tumblers is utilized to operate the secondary device from the tumbler after the tumbler has been set by its proper indicating-actuator.

In the drawings of this application I have shown the secondary actuated means as operative by the primary actuated means and as consisting of aplurality or bank of devices in the form of type-arm-operating levers L', substantially similar to the key-levers L and corresponding in number with the respective primary actuated devices or tumblers and also with the longitudinal series of indicating-actuators on the jacquard as well as with the key-levers L. Each of the type-arm-operating levers is represented having rising therefrom a finger 35 in position to be engaged by the depending arm 3l of its tumbler when the tumbler is in its set position, this finger being preferably notched at its extremity, as illustrated at 35', to insure the engagement of the arm 34 with such finger during the operation of the type-arni-operat` ing lever by the tumbler.

Each of the levers L is shown connected IOO IIO

adjacent to its rear end with a type-arm in the manner usually'employed in type-Writing machines, and a universal bar controlling the feed mechanism for permitting the step-bystep advance of the carriage across the machine is represented at Il', lying directly beneath and adjacent to such levers Il', so as to be operated thereby at each actuation of one of such levers.

From the description of the operating means for actuating the two runs of the jacquard it will be apparent that my invention contemplates the'employment of a jacquard having two differentially-progressive portions and a pair of diiferentially operative jacquardmovement controllers controlling, respectively, said respective portions of the jacquard and preferably in the nature of differentially operative jacquard actuating means for differentially advancing the respective runs of an endless jacquard. It will be seen also that the invention embodies, in connection with a jacquard having differentially-progressive portions or runs, jacquard-actuated means operative by one of said portions or runs, the operation of the jacquard-actuated means by such run taking place independently of the movement of the other run. Moreover, it will be obvious that there are provided means for recordingvindica-tions 011 the first run of the jacquard, j acquard-actuatin g means for actu ating' such run a determined distance on each recordation of an indication, and jacquard-actuated means controlled at the second run by such indications and operative entirely independently of the movement of the first run.V In the preferred form thereof herein illustrated a jacquard is employed having a plurality of settable indicating actuators normally in their unset positions and shiftable to their set positions, and in orderlto utilize the indications thereof the jacquard is actuated to bring the indicating-actuators into position for operating settable jacquard actuated means, such jacquard-actuated means being in inoperative relation with the unset indieating-actuators. Setting means are also advantageously employed for setting a determined number of the indicating-actuators in connection with jacquard-actuating means operative by the actuation of such setting means.

From the description of the operation of the tumblers and the type-arm-operating levers from the indicating-actuators it Will be apparent, also, that l employ, in connection with a jacquard and with actuating means therefor, normally-unset primary jacquardactuated means normally in inoperative relation With secondary actuated means and settable by the jacquard into position for operating said secondary means, secondary actuated means operable by such primary actuated means, and actuating means for carrying the primary jacquard-actuated means to its operated and operating positions .alternately. The rock-frame and its operating mechanism constitute means for reciprocating or oscillating the primary jacquard-actuated means between such operated and operating positions. The primary jacquard-actuated devices are normally unset, independently settable, in inoperative relation with the unset indicating-actuators, and normally in inoperative relation With the secondary actuated devices, all of the primary jacquardactuated devices being simultaneously operati ve to their operated and operating positions alternately, so as to insure the regular settin g of the tu mblers and a proper sequence of movements for the secondary actuated devices or type-arm-operating levers.

After the operation of the primary jacquardactuated means by the set indicating-actuators it is necessary to restore such actuators to their normal positions, in order that new combinations may be set up on the jacquard by the operation of the several keys. Hence some form of indicating-actuator-resetting means constitutes an important feature of my present invention, and I have shown between the jacquard-actuated means and the setting means a fixed bar or resetting-comb, such as R, disposed transversely of the jacquard and secured to the side frames 2 and 2' and embodying a plurality of resetting members, such `as 36, (see Fig. 5,) one for each longitudinal vseries of indicating-actuators, these resetting members beingalined, respectively, With such respective series of indicating-actuators. In the present case these resetting membersare illustrated having their resetting-faces formed as obliquely-disposed camsurfaces, such as 36, that portion of each camface which is engaged first by the corresponding indicating-actuator after such actu- ICO ator has set its respective tumbler being positioned directly in the path of such set actuator,.while that end of the cam-face at which such actuator passes beyond the resetting member is substantially in alinement With the unset indicating-actuators of its respective series.

I do not, of course, limit my invention to the use of the particular resetting means just described, as any suitable means may be employed for shifting the indicating-actuators from their Working to their non-working posit-ions.

I have also represented in the drawings (see Figs. 3 and 5 and l2 to l5, inclusive) resetting means for restoring the primary jacquard-actuated means to its normal unset position after the operation of the same; and I have found 1t desirable to employ, in connection With the jacquard mechanism hereinbefore described, resetting means normally out of the pathY of the primary jacquard-actuated means and operative into engagement with such actuated means on the return of the primary j acquard-actuated means to its operated position after the operation of the secondary actuated meanshas been effected.

IIO

Referring particularly to Figs. 3 and 5, it will be seen that the resetting means for the tumblers is shown at R', embodying a rockshaft, such as 37, jou rnaled in bearings in the side frames 2 and 2', said rock-shaft having fixed thereon rock-arms, such as 33, the outer ends of which are represented carrying a resetting-bar, such as 39, extending completely across the machine adjacent to the tumblers and in parallelism therewith.

Another rock-arm is illustrated at 40, secured to the right-hand end of the rock-shaft 37 and hinged by means of a connecting-rod 41 to a link 42, carried by the side frame Z and having at its outer end an antifrictionroll 43, adapted to travel on the cam-surface 44 of a cam 44, secured to one end of the driving-shaft S, on the opposite end of which the band-wheel or main driver D is fixed.

A coiled spring is represented at 45, fixed at one end to the framework and secured at its opposite end to an arm 40', movable with t-he rock-arm 40 and normally tending to hold the antifriction-roll 43 against the cam-surface 44.

The operation of a machine constructed in accordance with my invention as hereinbcfore described is as follows: On the depres-` sion of any key by the operator the corresponding key-lever is actuated and the universal bar U is forced down, carrying with it the pawls 12 and 12', and thereby causing the upper run of the jacquard to be advanced a space, as shown in Fig. l7. At substantially the same time the cam-face 20 of the corresponding setting actuator 2O engages the head 19l of that indicating-actuator of its respective series which has just been brought into working' position by the advance of the upper run, and such indicating-actuator is shifted, as shown in Figs. 17 and 18, from its normal position to a position out of line with the remaining actuators of its series. A determined succession of indicating-actuators may thus be set by the selective operation of the keys without causing the actuation of any of 'the operated devices adjacent to the lower run, and the setting up of indications on the upper run may be continued until the jacquard and its carrier reach the limit of their movements toward the rear of the machine. At the same time that these indica tions are being set up the band-wheel D will be normally continuously rotating and regularly carrying the parts controlled thereby in their respective paths of movement, the lower run being carried in the direction indicated by the arrow in Fig. 3 step by step by the push of the point of the pawl 25 as it is engaged in .a socket in the under side of the lower run on its forward stroke and is withdrawn therefrom and engaged in the next succeeding socket on its return stroke.

The action of the jacquard will be readily understood by reference to Figs. 1 and 3 and G to 14, inclusive. The jacquard frame or Carrier is, as before stated, capable of bodily sliding movement in the slots r' of the main structure, and if, for instance, the upper run or top of the belt is blocked by the engagement of the teeth 9 9 with the drive-sockets S S it is obvious that the lower run or bottom portion of the jacquard will be bodily advanced by the wheel D and the pawl 25 as long as the blocking action continues until either a part or substantially all of the portion of the jacquard between the blocked part thereof and the axis of the drum 1S on the belt is taken up. In this operation, as is obvious, the jacquard frame or carrier slides in the slots o", and the jacquard, of course, slips around the rollers or drums 1S 18', whereby the result just set forth may be accomplished.

As soon as those indicating-actuators which have been set at the upper run are brought into operative relation with the tu mblers at the lower run by the continued advance of the two runs of the jacquard such tumblers will be selectively carried to their set positions, as shown in Figs. 1, 3, and 12, and will be carried into engagement with the fingers of their respective levers L and will actuate such levers, (see Fig. 13,) each of the set tumblers being restored to its normal unset position on its rise from engagement with its actuated lever by the engagement of the resetting-bar 39 with such tumbler, as shown in Figs. 14 and 15, the resetting action being fully accomplished before the tumbler has reached the limit of its upward movement.

It will be evident by reference to Figs. 12 to 15, inclusive, that the cam-surface 44 is so shaped that as the an tifriction-roller43 leaves the top of the cam the set tumblers will be forced quickly back to their unset positions by the action of the spring 45. The actuation of the levers L will of course cause the operation of the type arms corresponding thereto and of .the universal bar U for permitting the feed of the carriage in a manner well known in the art.

As it is obvious that neither of the runs of the jacquard can-be operated uninterruptedly when-the two runs are differentially actuated, and especially when, as is the case with the construction described herein, one of the runs is normally continuously operated at a relatively rapid rate of speed, while the other is advanced intermittently at a relatively slow speed, some means must be employed for preventing the advancing movement of each run when such movement has brought the jacquard and its carrier to the limit of their travel in one direction. For the purpose of preventing such advancing movement after the jacquard has arrived at either extreme position I employ a pair of separately-operative jacquard-movement limiters for separately limiting the movements of the respective differentially -progressive portions or runs of the jacquard, these limiters being preferably jaequardoperated77 limiters, movable with and fixed on the jacquard-car- IOO IIO

rier, one of them being illustrated operative for blocking the operation of the intermittently-operative jacquard-actuating means and the other for uncoupling the continuously operative jacquard actuating means from the other run. These limters are illustrated in the drawings as stops carried at opposite ends of the jacquard-carrier, a pair of such stops being shown at 46, rising from the forward ends of the connecting-rods 17, (see Fig. 4,) while a pair of stops, such as 47, depend in a similar manner from the other ends of said connecting-rods. The stops 4G are so disposed that when the jacquard reaches the position shown in Fig. G the depression of the key-if the lower run is not simultaneously advanced-will cause said stops to be moved by the jacquard into engagement with the forward faces of depending stops 12", formed integral with the pawls l2 and l2', and on the rise of the pawls when the key is released the ends of the stops 12 will be thrown slightly forward, so that they will lie directly over the stops 4G, (see Fig. 8,) whereby the advance of the upper run will be prevented until the lower run has been advanced a distance sufficient to cause the stops 4G to be carried forward out of the path of the stops l2.

The stops 47 operate in a manner substantially similar to that just described. Vhen the jacquard and its carrier reach the position shown in Fig. 9, the next rotation of the driver or band-wheel will advance the lower run the interval between two of the drivesockets in such run, (see Fig. 10,) and on the return movement of the pawls 25 a pair of pin-stops 25, carried at the points of these pawls, will ride over the corresponding camfaces 47 of the stops 47, and at the limits of their movements will lie against the stop-faces 47' of said stops 47, thus preventing` the points of said pawls from entering the drive-sockets in the lower run. (See Fig. ll.)

It will be obvious that until the jacquard and its carrier have been actuated again toward the rear of the machine by the action of the key-operated devices controlling the upper run the driver D, while continuously rotating, will not impart advancing movements to the lower run, as the continuouslyoperative driving means is now uncoupled from said run and will be ineffective until the stops 47 are carried to the rear of the pinstops 25".

As in practice the lower run will be operated continuously at a somewhat faster rate of speed than the upper run will be actuated by the operator, it is apparent that the operator will not have to stop and wait for the lower run to be operated before he can proceed with his work, but that the lower run will, as a rule, advance with sufficient speed to keep the jacquard and its carrier close to the extreme limit of their forward position, as seen in Figs. 9, l0, and l1, and thus give the operator substantially the full length of the upper run on which to record the necessary indications for operating the type-arms.
