Abstract
Abstract In a shuttleless loom, a length of at least more than one pick of filling is pulled from a supply package located outside the shed continuously and at constant speeds and is partitioned into picks in a coil and advanced continuously toward fillinginserting means, the coil being caused to maintain a given pitch and accumulated on a storage swift. In multi-filling, such storage swifts are disposed in numbers equal to the number of fillings to be selected, and each filling is continuously pulled from supply packages at constant speeds compensating for the use and accumulation of the fillings.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
159 words
A method of operating a measuring and supplying means to deliver a predetermined length of filling from a filling supply package to a loom, said predetermined length of filling to be supplied to said loom in synchronization with the intermittent operation thereof, said method comprising winding through a winding guide mounted about a longitudinal axis said predetermined length of filling in single layer coil form around a plurality of endless belts arranged to form a polygonal crosssection between pairs of measuring guides protruding from the outer surfaces of said belts, causing said belts to convey said coiled filling in a given direction at a uniform speed, extending the forward end of said filling around a first of said measuring guides in said given direction, causing said first measuring guide to release said filling upon commencement of said intermittent operation of said loom, and picking said predetermined length of filling from said belts during said intermittent operation of said loom.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
159 words
A method of operating a measuring and supplying means to deliver a predetermined length of filling from a filling supply package to a loom, said predetermined length of filling to be supplied to said loom in synchronization with the intermittent operation thereof, said method comprising winding through a winding guide mounted about a longitudinal axis said predetermined length of filling in single layer coil form around a plurality of endless belts arranged to form a polygonal crosssection between pairs of measuring guides protruding from the outer surfaces of said belts, causing said belts to convey said coiled filling in a given direction at a uniform speed, extending the forward end of said filling around a first of said measuring guides in said given direction, causing said first measuring guide to release said filling upon commencement of said intermittent operation of said loom, and picking said predetermined length of filling from said belts during said intermittent operation of said loom.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
28 words
A method as claimed in claim 1, further compRising rotating said winding guide about said axis while maintaining said plurality of belts free from rotation about said axis.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
28 words
A method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising rotating said plurality of belts about said axis while maintaining said winding guide free from rotation about said axis.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
75 words
A method for measuring and supplying in a predetermined order a plurality of said fillings in the manner set forth in claim 1, providing a plurality of measuring and supplying means, adjusting the speed of conveying of said belts of each of said fillings, and alternating the order of picking of said predetermined lengths of said fillings between said means in synchronization with the operation of said loom to supply said fillings to said loom.
Claim 6
Independent Claim
192 words
An apparatus for measuring and supplying a predetermined length of filling from a filling supply package to a loom in synchronization with the intermittent operation of said loom, said apparatus comprising a winding guide mounted about a longitudinal axis, a plurality of endless belts arranged to form a polygonal cross-section and positioned adjacent said winding guide, a plurality of measuring guides equally spaced on and protruding from the outer surface of at least one of said belts, said winding guide operable to wind said predetermined length of said filling in single layer coil form around said plurality of belts between said measuring guides, means to impart movement of said plurality of belts to cause said belts to convey said coiled filling toward a first end of said belts at a uniform speed, a first of said measuring guides controlling the forward end of said filling during said conveying, and means positioned adjacent said first end for releasing said filling from said first of said measuring guides upon commencement of said intermittent operation of said loom, whereby said predetermined length of said filling may be picked from said belts during said intermittent operation.
Claim 7
Independent Claim
192 words
An apparatus for measuring and supplying a predetermined length of filling from a filling supply package to a loom in synchronization with the intermittent operation of said loom, said apparatus comprising a winding guide mounted about a longitudinal axis, a plurality of endless belts arranged to form a polygonal cross-section and positioned adjacent said winding guide, a plurality of measuring guides equally spaced on and protruding from the outer surface of at least one of said belts, said winding guide operable to wind said predetermined length of said filling in single layer coil form around said plurality of belts between said measuring guides, means to impart movement of said plurality of belts to cause said belts to convey said coiled filling toward a first end of said belts at a uniform speed, a first of said measuring guides controlling the forward end of said filling during said conveying, and means positioned adjacent said first end for releasing said filling from said first of said measuring guides upon commencement of said intermittent operation of said loom, whereby said predetermined length of said filling may be picked from said belts during said intermittent operation.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
22 words
An apparatus as claimed in claim 5, further comprising means for adjusting the radial position of said outer surfaces of said belts.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
26 words
An apparatus as claimed in claim 5, wherein said winding guide is rotatable about said axis and said plurality of belts are nonrotatable about said axis.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
26 words
An apparatus as claimed in claim 5, wherein said winding guide is nonrotatable about said axis and said plurality of belts are rotatable about said axis.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
31 words
An apparatus as claimed in claim 5, wherein said means for releasing comprises a filling trip guide positioned to remove said end of said coiled filling from said first measuring guide.
