UN TED STATES PATENT Orrrcae EDWIN BUGKLEY, OF DURHAM, COUNTY OF DURHAM, ENGLAND.

LOOM FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF TUFTED PILE FABRICS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 393,458, dated November 27, 1888.

Application filed July 26, 1886. Serial No. 209,092. (No model.) Patented in England October 15, 1885, No. 12,289.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EDWIN BUOKLEY, loomtuner, a subject of the Queen of Great Britain, residing at John street, in the city of Durham, in the county of Durham, England, have invented or discovered certain new and useful Improvements in Looms for the Menu facture of Tufted Pile Fabrics, (for which I have obtained a patent in Great Britain, No. 12,289, dated October 15, 1885,) of which the following is a specification.

These improvements have reference to that description of looms for weaving carpets known as tufted or tufted pile carpets or AX- minster tufted carpets, and such like tufted pile fabrics, and for improvements in which Letters Patent of Great Britain were granted to Samuel Holdsworth on July 11, 1872, No. 2,095, and July 21, 1875, No. 2,595.

The present invention has more particular reference to the means for supplying threads or yarn to the needles in the needle-frames employed for forming the rows of tufts across the fabrics'in the manufacture of such carpets and fabrics.

In the said specification of Patent No. 2,095 of l872,aforementioned, bobbins are described and shown for the supply of the yarns of the desired colors; but according to the present invention the yarns are held by and supplied from small cops or spools inserted in small apertures of suitable shape provided at or in the lower wooden or other portion of the frame, and are arranged in relation to each other and to the respective needles or instruments to be supplied, so as most conveniently to preserve directness of delivery. These improved means of supplying thread or yarn to the needles employed in forming the tufts of tufted pile fabrics enable me to effect the working of such tufts from separate threads carried each independently of the others in sep arate independent carriers, and so that each thread in its carrier can be attached or detached without interfering with the rest and fresh supplies or other colors substituted.

In the drawings, Figure 1 represents aplan of a portion of a frame and its cops; Fig. 2, a cross-section; Fig. 3, the like arrangement with Fig. 2, with the cops or spools held by pins; Fig. 4, a side view, and Fig. 5 an end view,of one of the springs.

The frame h has a number of independent cops or spools, h, which are here shown inserted each in one of the separate small apertures,of corresponding shape and size, if, from which cops or spools h the threads or yarn separately and independently, as indicated by the dotted lines, are supplied to the individual needles h.

In Fig. 2 the bars 2 and frame are seen in crosssection.

2' i are bars running across from side to side of the series of cops or spools h and serving to hold them in place during working,these bars having springs j and a cross-piece, k, at each end of the frame to retain them. Each crossbar is provided with slots k, in which the ends of the bars 1' work, these bars 2' being pressed together in pairs by the springs j, in order to keep the cops h in place. By removing the springs j the cops h can be replaced. The springs j are held in apertures h in the frame h.

As the spools and the apertures forholding them are, as shown in Fig. 1, arranged in diagonal lines or rows in the frame, the crosssection, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, necessarily cuts through only a few of these apertures and shows less and less of each next adjacent one, and the remainder of the frame in such section appears as solid.

The variations in character of dotted lines indicating the threads or yarns also indicate Variations of color thereto and their relative arrangement as an instance, but of course this will vary with variation of pattern; or, in place of the previous arrangement, the yarns may, as shown by Fig. 3, be supplied from cops or spools h, held by pins or spindles h, attached and provided at or in the lower wooden or other portion of the frame h and suitably arranged, as in the first'described construction, as to the relative spools and needles supplied thereby.

I claim 1. In a loom for weaving tufted fabrics, the combination,with the series of pile-th read needles, of a frame having a series of recesses therein, arranged substantially as shown,each

recess being adopted for holding one of the In testimony whereof I, the said EDWIN cops or spools,as and for the purposes set forth. BUCKLEY, have hereunto set my hand,this 10th 2. In combination with the series of needles day of J nly, 1886.

and with frznne h, having recesses for holding EDWIN BUCKLEY. 5 cops or spools of yarmthe slotted cross-pieces In presence ofk, springj, and rods 2' 17, all substantially as set H. MAOKORF,
