14,909. Hanson, J. R., and Berry, B. June 30. L o o m stop-motions.-If either of the temples A, which are carried by upright spring brackets in the usual manner, becomes clogged, it is moved forwards against an adjustable cross-bar E on an horizontal part D of an arm C on a rock-shaft G. This shaft is rocked, and a finger L thereon moves the shipper lever K from its notch, either directly or through the weft-fork lever, thereby stopping the loom. An attachment on the shaft G limits the movement of the finger L, and when the loom is started, the shipper lever K acts through this attachment to return the parts to their normal positions.
