Illustrations of the Different Parts of the Jacquard Machine — Method of Operation, etc.
Every Jacquard machine may be divided into the following parts:
1. The Frame and the Perforated Board through which
the neck-cords are passed.
2. The Griffe and necessary attachments for lifting the
same.
3. The Hooks.
4. The Needles.
5. The Springs and Spring Frame.
6. The Needle-board.
7. The Cylinder, Hammer,
and Batten.
8. The Catches.
9. The Cards.
10. The Jacquard Harness.
THE FRAME.
Fig. I.,A represents the side view of the “frame” of a common 200 Jacquard machine by a, b, c, d. The width of the frame in its main part [see 6 to 7] is 9-1/2 inches.
1-1/8 inches is the width of the iron casting at the places marked 8 and 9.
2 inches is the height of casting at the place indicated by 1.
1-1/2 inches is the height of casting at the place indicated by 3.
1-3/4 inches is the height of casting at the place indicated by 5.
The open part of the frame, marked 2 in drawing, is 6 inches high.
The open part of the frame, marked 4 in drawing, is 5 inches high. Hence, the main height of the frame is as follows:
| 1 = 2 | inches. |
| 2 = 6 | inches. |
| 3 = 1-1/2 | inches. |
| 4 = 5 | inches. |
| 5 = 1-3/4 | inches. |
| ------- | |
| 16-1/4 inches main height. |
Notes
A For illustration of the present article a 200 Jacquard machine is used, illustrated on pages 11-17 by Figs. I. to XI., which contains the same principles of construction as any other size machine. These illustrations are drawn one-fourth of the actual size; hence, any measures, etc., we have omitted may readily be found by any student.
