Builder mechanism for textile machine

摘要

All control components of the builder mechanism and its pick motion device are concentrically arranged about the builder shaft of a textile machine in such manner that the builder mechanism can readily be removed from the builder shaft as an entity for replacement, inspection, repair or substitution of parts, creating a compact construction of great durability and easy maintenance. Such concentrically disposed components include electromechanical control means for at prescribed times effecting directional reversals and stepped advancements of the points of movement reversals of the builder shaft with a differential gearing assembly which produces incremental angular advancements of switch components about the axis shaft when driven by pick-gear wheel and pick-gear pawl members thereof.
