Specication of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 5, 1905.

Application led May 15, 1905. Serial No'. 260,422.

To all whom t may concern: I

Be it known that I, HARRISON GARNETT, a citizen of the United States,residing at Norristown, in the county of Montgomery and State of Pennsylvania, have invented new and useful Improvements in Beaming-Machines for Looms, of which the following is a specilication.

My invention relates to beaming-machines used for winding the warp for a loom from a reel .onto the beam.

Heretofore the beam to be supplied with warp was driven by gearing applied at one end only, and the great torsional stress resulting from the beaming operation, especially when the beam was about one-half or threequar ters filled, caused the end nearest the gearing to split o r otherwiseto be injured. If, as is mostly the case, the beam is supplied with a ratchet or ratchets toalloW for taking up or slacking olf of warp when the beam isl in a loom, the teeth .of the ratchet-wheel are torn away, causing expenses for repair and loss of time. To avoid these objectionable features, I provide means to drive the beam at both of its ends, thus avoiding th great torsional stresses by which beam and ratchets are injured entirely and obtaining the advantages of producing an evenly-wound warp, getting about sixty yards more of yarn onto the beam, and facilitating the operation of beaming.

My invention consists of means for supporting a warp-beam, a removable gear at each end thereof, ashaft journaled in bearings, pinions on said shaft to mesh with the said gears, and means for driving said shaft.

My invention will be more fully understood taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, forming part thereof, and in which- Figure l is a top view of the improved beaming-machine. Fig. 2 is lan end view of said machine; and Fig. 3 is a section on line 3 3 of Fig. 1, showing the beam and a ratchet.

Referring now to the drawings for ay further description of my inventionA represents standards with journal-boxes in which the shaft C, having the pinions o and c and fast and loose driving-pulleys o2 and c3, is journaled. Contiguous to said standards A,which are bolted onto the Hoor, are bases a and a2, the latter of which is provided with an open journal-block as, formed integral with the said base a2. The base a is provided with a removable open journal-block ai, of any suitable construction-such, for instance, as is now being used with beaming-machines which are driven from one end only.

The beam B consists of.- theshaft b, barrel Z2', beam-heads b2, and ratchet-wheels Z23,which are secured to the barrel by means of longitudinal rods b4 and lugs b5, mortisedl into the the other friction-pulley 66. 'The beam B is then placed in the open journal-block a3 and a?, so that the teeth of the gears l and d mesh withthe teeth of the pinions c and c. The ends of the warp from the reel R are then fastened to the beam B, and power isapplied to the shaft C by the belt c4 and driving-pulley cito -give rotary motion to the beam B. A guide-rollv g and a presser-roll P are employed inthe usual manner to maintain an even and close winding of the warp onto the beam.l

Having thus fully described the nathre and objects of myinvention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-,-

1. A beaming-machine adapted to support a warp-beam, a removable gear at each end of said beam, means for coupling said gears to said beam, and means for driving said gears, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

2. A beaming-machine adapted to support a rotating warp-beam, a removable gear at v each end of said beam', means for coupling said beam to said gears, a shaft, two pinions on said shaft to. mesh with the removable gears of the beam, and means for driving the said shaft, substantially as and for the purposes set forth. v

3. A beaming-machine adapted to support va rotating warp-beam, a removable gear at each end of said beam, a ratchet at each end In witness whereo` I have hereunto set my hand 1n the presence of two subserlblng wltnesses.
