T0 aZZ whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, MATHIs HELLIOH, a subject of the German Emperor, residing at Guensbach, Alsace, Germany, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Devices for Applying Cops to Loom Shuttle Spindles, of which the following is a specification.

The present invention has reference to degices for applying cops to loom-shuttle spin- By means of this new device the threadcoils are pressed close together and the nose of the spindle is freed, thus obviating the initial unwinding of this spindle end and reducing thereby the weft waste to almost nothing. The cop, furthermore, if wet is compressed or condensed. The weft thereby is evenly saturated with the fatty liquid, and an evenly-wetted-through woof is obtained.

A further advantage of my improvement consists in, doing away with the necessity of placing the cop on the spindle by hand, which always more or less tires the operator.

In order to make the invention more readily understood, I have illustrated it on the accompanying sheets of drawings, in which- Figure 1 represents a side view of my device, partly in section. Fig. 3 represents a section through the shuttle, the drip-cup, and adjacent parts anda side elevation of the cop with spindle. Fig. 4 is a detail plan view; and Fig. 5, a side elevation of Fig. 3, partly in section.

To the loom-frame b is secured in suitable manner the bracket a, carrying a bearing a d,-

in which slides the roller 6, to which is fulcrumed at f the forked hand-lever g. To the latter is pivotally secured at h the pin Z and also the guide-sleeve i, which latter and a ring 1 surround and slide on the rod 7c, rigidly secured to the bracket a. A cup m, having a perforated bottom, is rigidly secured to the plate w, underlying the bracket 0., by means of a nut 12, while the trough or drip-pan n is detachably secured to'ribs t on the bracket a. An adjustable stop-ledge s limits the downstroke of the lever g.

As shown in Fi 5, the s indle p is removably and pivotalIy journa ed on the pin :12,

'dle in the respective position.

Fig. 2 1s a plan 716W;-

extending transversely through the shuttlerecess, a spring y serving to retain the spin- For the purpose of introducing the spindle p into a cop the former is swung out rectangularly to the shuttle, as shown in Fig. 5, and is partly introduced into the cop. The lower end of the cop is then placed into the cup m and the hand-lever g moved downwardly, swinging about its receding pivot f. The pin Z descends parallel to the rod 7c and enters the lon itudinal slot provided in the shuttlewafi, bears upon the spring y, and presses the shuttle, with the spindle, downward, forcing the spindle still farther into the cop and jamming the lower end of the cop in turn into the cup m until the stop-ledge s arrests further down motion. In case the cop is wet the humidity will be evenly pressed through it and finally run off into the cup m and through the perforated bottom of the latter into the drip-pan n. A plate a prevents the liquid from squirting about. The lever 9 can obviously be operated by foot or other power. Upon the cop having been treated in this manner the lever g is raised again and the shuttle removed. The spindle, with the cop,

is then laid over into the shuttle and the latter placed in the shuttle-race in well-known manner.

What I claim is 1. A device for placing cops on the spindle secured to the shuttle, comprising in combination, a bracket, a roller slide-bearing, a lever operating in said bearing, a pin pivotally secured to said lever, means for insuring vertical down motion of said pin, a shuttle,a spindle pivotally secured thereto, a conical cup with perforated bottom to receive the lower end of the cop, a detachable drip-pan, means to prevent the liquid from squirting about, and adjustable means to limit the operation of said lever, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

2. A device of the type set forth, comprising a frame, a cup thereon, a splash-fender in proximity to the cup, a drip-pan, and means for expressing moisture from a cop held in said cup.

3. A device of the type set forth, compris- In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
