Description: |
| Abstract:
In all looms with which I am acquainted, and known prior to my invention, the shuttle-boxes, or recesses that receive the shuttle when thrown or carried from one side to the other to lay the weft between the warps, are attached to and moved back and forth with the lay. This mode of arranging the shuttle-boxes is not only defective in reference to the general operation of weaving, from the fact that after the weft has been carried up (termed beat up) by the reed in the lay it is loosened and drawn back alternately on opposite sides of the cloth by the back movement of the shuttle-boxes when carried back by the lay; but this arrangement presents serious obstacles.
Claim:
The method of separating from the series of wires over which the figure `has been wrought the last one of the series, which is to be withdrawn by means of an instrument introduced between it and the one next to it, when this is operated by machinery substantially as herein described, whereby this separating-instrument is made to perform its appropriate function at appropriate intervals relatively to the other operations of the loom. |
