Abstract

Abstract There is disclosed a control mechanism for the sand rollers of looms. The output of the cloth take-up motion of a loom is drivingly connected to a first input shaft of a differential gearing mechanism, and the second input shaft of the differential gearing mechanism is drivingly connected to the output shaft of an electric motor. The electric motor is under the control of a mechanism which selectively permits its starting and stopping. The output shaft of the differential gearing mechanism is drivingly connected to the sand roller. The electric motor is preferably of the reversible type, the means for controlling the motor then including means for selectively reversing the motor. During the ordinary operation of the loom, the sand roller is driven by the cloth take-up motion through the differential mechanism, the electric motor being then switched off and locked. Only when the tensioning or slacking off of the fabric is required is the electric motor started in the required direction after the loom has been stopped.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 210 words
In a loom provided with a drive shaft driven in synchronism therewith, the loom having a cloth take-up motion, a sand roller, and a cloth take-up beam, the improvement which comprises a control mechanism for the sand roller, said control mechanism comprising a differential gearing mechanism having first and second input shafts and an output shaft, the first input shaft of the differential gearing mechanism is drivingly connected to the cloth take-up motion, an electric motor having an output shaft, means drivingly connecting the output shaft of the motor to the second input shaft of the differential gearing mechanism, means drivingly connecting the output shaft of the differential gearing mechanism to the sand roller, a source of electric power, and a mechanism for controlling the electric motor comprising circuit means for connecting the electric motor comprising circuit means for connecting the electric motor to the source of electric power when the loom is stopped, so that the sand roller is then driven only by the electric motor, and means for disconnecting the electric motor from the source of electric power during normal operation of the loom, so that the electric motor is then at rest and the sand roller is driven only by the said drive shaft of the loom.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 210 words
In a loom provided with a drive shaft driven in synchronism therewith, the loom having a cloth take-up motion, a sand roller, and a cloth take-up beam, the improvement which comprises a control mechanism for the sand roller, said control mechanism comprising a differential gearing mechanism having first and second input shafts and an output shaft, the first input shaft of the differential gearing mechanism is drivingly connected to the cloth take-up motion, an electric motor having an output shaft, means drivingly connecting the output shaft of the motor to the second input shaft of the differential gearing mechanism, means drivingly connecting the output shaft of the differential gearing mechanism to the sand roller, a source of electric power, and a mechanism for controlling the electric motor comprising circuit means for connecting the electric motor comprising circuit means for connecting the electric motor to the source of electric power when the loom is stopped, so that the sand roller is then driven only by the electric motor, and means for disconnecting the electric motor from the source of electric power during normal operation of the loom, so that the electric motor is then at rest and the sand roller is driven only by the said drive shaft of the loom.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 21 words
Apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the mechanism for controlling the electric motor includes means for selectively reversing the motor.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 45 words
Apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the means connecting the second input shaft of the differential gearing mechanism to the electric motor and the means for connecting the output shaft of the differential gearing mechanism to the sand roller, respectively, each comprises gear transmissions.
