Description

I. GIBBS, OF IVARREN, MASSACHUSETTS.
IMPROVEMENT IN MACHINES FOR WINDING YARN FOR WEAVING TAPE.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 5l ,171, dated November 28, 1865.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, I. GIBBs, of Warren, in the county of Worcester and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in the Mode of Winding Yarn for Weaving Tape; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description ofthe same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l represents a top or plan view of a machine arranged for winding sized yarn according to my invention. Fig. 2 represents a longitudinal section, and Fig. 8 represents a front view.
In the drawings, A represents the frame of the machine, with two uprights, B B, at the rear, in which the yarn-beam C is placed, as indicated in the drawings.
At each side of the front of frame A is attached a standard, D, with arms a and b.
Upon the top of standards l) and between the arms a and .b rests the windingshaft E, upon which is fastened a series of narrow wheels or pulleys, FF F.
A guide-supporting piece, G, is fastened to the top of the arms a a., to which is f'astened the yarn-guide c.
To the top of the arms b b is fastened a crosspiece, H, upon which the bent holding-arms d are fastened by staples, e c, which encircle the round partf of arms d d, as fully shown in the drawings.
Arms d d are drawn down by springs g g g, attached to the lower part of the bent wire rods h, the ends t' lhookinginto the arms d d.
I I I are the narrow tape-yarn beams, having flangesjj, which fit down by the sides of the narrow wheels or pulleys F F F on shaft E, while the hooked ends lc of the arms d rest upon the ends of the journal of the tape-yarn beams, as fully shown in the drawings.
rIhe operation is as follows: The yarn is sized and dried as it is wound upon beam C. Beam C is then placed in position, as shown in the drawings, when the threads are separated and passed through the thread-guides c and around the tape-yarn beams I. Power isnow applied to pulley J upon the end of shaft E, thus causing the wheels or drums F to revolve, which wheels or drums F, acting upon the surface of the tape-beams I, cause them in turn to revolve by friction, whereby the yarn is unwound from the large beam C and rewound upon the small tape-beams I in a uniform and even manner.
It will be observed that it makes no difference how few or how many threads may be selected to he wound upon the various tapebeams I, since they are all wound by friction, and consequently one tape-beam may ll much faster than another having a less number of threads wound thereon, and yet the yarn will be wound upon both in an even and uniform manne-r. l have only shown three tape-beams in the drawings,but in practice a much greater number are used.
From the above it will be seen that the manufacturer of tape can go to a cotton-mill and purchaseabeam of sized cotton-yarn designed for another purpose, and then rewind it by my process or mode upon the tape-beams in an expeditious and economical manner, and can at the same time wind upon and ll tapebeams for weaving different widths of tape, without change of machinery, all at the same time.
To illustrate the greatadvantage of mymode of winding the sized yarn upon the tape-beams over the modes heretofore practiced I will describe the old modes.
One mode has been to make tape-yarn beams with holes through them, so that they could be slipped upon a shaft and then fastened thereto, so that they would all move with the shaft when the latter was revolved. tape-beams with a different number of threads could not be well filled at the same time, since those having the greatest number of threads would be filled first; and, as all the beams had the. same positive motion, the tape-beams having the greatest number of threads would wind the hardest, and the threads so wound would have to do all the work ot' turning the large beam G, while the yarn wound upon the tape-yarn beams having the least number of threads would be wound loosely and snarl and knot up.
The other mode consisted in sizing and drying the yarn in the skein and then winding it upon the tape-yarn beams. In manufacturing tape it does not pay to lit up machinery for dressing the yarn nor does yarn sized in the skein make good tape, since it is rough, the fibers not having been brushed down. So exn pensive and difficult have been the modes of By this mode preparing and winding the yarn upon the tapeyarn beams that until quite recently the manufacture of tape has been confined to foreign countries, where cheap labor could be obtained.
By the introduction of my invention the manufacture of tape has commenced in this country and with every prospect of successfully competing with foreign manufacturers. The tape-nianufacturer can purchase, as before stated, from the cotton-mill a beam of sized yarn, and then quickly rewind it by my mode upon tape-yarn beams having different numbers of threads, all the yarn being` wound in a uniformi and even manner upon the different beams. Again, in case one tape-,beam is filled before the others, it can be removed and an empty beam put on without removing the others, and the winding proceeded with.
The beams I can be removed and replaced by simply lifting,` up the arms d d.
Weights may be used instead ot' the springs g to hold the arms d d down.
Having; described my improved mode of winding yarn for weaving?,1 tape, I would observe that I do not wish to be understood as laying claim to the use of a pressure-roller revolving between the flanges of the spool and to gi vin g mot-ion to it by frietional Contact; but
What I claim as new and of my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. Rewinding the sized yarn from beam C upon a series of narrow and independent yarnbeams, I, by a series of friction-wheels, F, as and for the purposes stated.
2. Thecombinationoftheselfadjustingarms d d and friction wheels or drums F with the beams l, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
I. GIBBS.
