Abstract
Abstract The weaving machine is provided with a supporting structure above the machine base on which the cloth beam is mounted. A mechanism is also provided to allow an empty cloth beam to be rolled up onto the supporting structure or a full cloth beam to be rolled off the supporting structure. The cloth is drawn off the cloth end of the machine base and guided about an access passageway upwardly to the supporting structure for winding onto the cloth beam.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 17
Claim 1
Independent Claim
129 words
In combination with a weaving machine having a base with a warp end and a cloth end; a supporting structure mounted over said base for supporting a cloth beam thereon, said supporting structure having a pair of parallel supporting members extending longitudinally of said base and being inclined to a horizontal plane, and a track extending along each supporting member for supporting one end of a cloth beam received thereon; a mechanism mounted on said supporting structure for lifting and lowering a cloth beam onto said supporting structure; and a guide means for directing a cloth from said base through a path to a cloth beam mounted on said supporting structure, said guide means having deflecting elements positioned above said cloth end of said base within said supporting structure.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
129 words
In combination with a weaving machine having a base with a warp end and a cloth end; a supporting structure mounted over said base for supporting a cloth beam thereon, said supporting structure having a pair of parallel supporting members extending longitudinally of said base and being inclined to a horizontal plane, and a track extending along each supporting member for supporting one end of a cloth beam received thereon; a mechanism mounted on said supporting structure for lifting and lowering a cloth beam onto said supporting structure; and a guide means for directing a cloth from said base through a path to a cloth beam mounted on said supporting structure, said guide means having deflecting elements positioned above said cloth end of said base within said supporting structure.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
37 words
The combination as set forth in claim 1 wherein said supporting structure extends over the ground plan of said weaving machine and includes a plurality of columns supporting said supporting structure in spaced relation over said base.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
24 words
The combination as set forth in claim 2 wherein said columns are fixed onto said base to support said supporting structure on said base.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
43 words
The combination as set forth in claim 1 wherein said mechanism includes a first means for removable connection to a cloth beam, means for tensioning said first means with a cloth beam connected thereto, and means for slackening tension in said first means.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
25 words
The combination as set forth in claim 4 wherein each said supporting member slopes from said cloth end towards said warp end of said base.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
61 words
The combination as set forth in claim 5 which further includes at least one driving beam mounted in said supporting structure for driving the periphery of a cloth beam loosely mounted thereon, and wherein said mechanism further includes a guiding element situated above said driving beam for guiding said first means upon connection of said first means to the cloth beam.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
29 words
The combination as set forth in claim 4 wherein said supporting structure includes a guiding element above said warp end of said base for guiding said first means thereon.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
69 words
The combination as set forth in claim 1 which further includes a first deflecting element at said cloth end of said base, a second deflecting element spaced from said base, and a third deflecting element spaced above said second deflecting element, said deflecting elements being spaced apart to guide and deflect a cloth passing from said base about an access passageway adjacent to said cloth end of said base.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
61 words
The combination as set forth in claim 1 which further includes a guiding beam and a mutually adjacent driving beam mounted in said supporting structure for mounting a cloth beam thereon, at least one of said guiding beam and driving beam being movable transversely of each said track of said supporting members, and means for fixing said one beam in position.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
38 words
The combination as set forth in claim 1 which further includes a pair of guide rails detachably connected to and extending from said supporting members in a downwardly directed oblique plane for rolling of a cloth beam thereon.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
70 words
The combination as set forth in claim 10 which further includes at least one driving beam mounted in said supporting structure for driving a cloth beam thereon, and wherein said mechanism includes a pair of load chains for removable connection to a cloth beam, and means for tensioning said chain to pull a cloth beam upwardly along said guide rails onto said supporting member tracks and onto said driving beam.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
21 words
The combination as set forth in claim 11 wherein Said means for tensioning includes a manually operated crank for actuation thereof.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
48 words
The combination as set forth in claim 11 wherein said weaving machine includes a sand beam for driving a cloth from said base, said sand beam being drivingly connected to said driving beam to impart a tension in a cloth between said sand beam and said driving beam.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
113 words
A supporting structure for mounting a cloth beam over a weaving machine in a predetermined operative position, said structure including a pair of parallel supporting members, a track extending along each supporting member and sloping in a downwardly inclined direction from said operative position for receiving one end of a cloth beam thereon, a mechanism for lifting and lowering a cloth beam onto and from said tracks at a position spaced from said operative position, a driving beam connected across said supporting members for driving the periphery of a cloth beam loosely mounted thereon, and columns secured to said supporting member to support said members in an elevated position over a weaving machine.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim
113 words
A supporting structure for mounting a cloth beam over a weaving machine in a predetermined operative position, said structure including a pair of parallel supporting members, a track extending along each supporting member and sloping in a downwardly inclined direction from said operative position for receiving one end of a cloth beam thereon, a mechanism for lifting and lowering a cloth beam onto and from said tracks at a position spaced from said operative position, a driving beam connected across said supporting members for driving the periphery of a cloth beam loosely mounted thereon, and columns secured to said supporting member to support said members in an elevated position over a weaving machine.
Claim 17
Dependent Claim
