Patent GB-190704786-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Loom Shuttles.
Inventor: HAUVETTE JULES EUGENE
Filed: 1907-02-27
Granted: 1907-07-25
Abstract: 4786. Hauvette, J. E. March 2, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Loom shuttles are provided with means for automatically regulating the delivery and tension of the weft, which is guided into contact with the roller f, Fig. 1, by an eye d in a guide e, and then passes through lugs h, i on a piece g and through an eye q, Fig. 4, on a counterweight o on an arm p, and thence through a central eye n on a lug m on the piece g to two delivery rollers on the side of the shuttle. The tension of the yarn normally keeps the counterweight raised, and in this position, a finger r thereon acts on a stop k on a spring slide j on the piece g, and prevents the slide from acting on the roller f, which can thus freely revolve. Should the weft slacken, the counterweight falls, the finger r no longer acts on the stop, and the slide is pushed by a spring into contact with the roller f. The delivery of yarn is thus decreased until the tension increases sufficiently to raise the counterweight and set the slide iu its normal position. In a modification, the slide and finger r are omitted, the counterweight then acting as a tensioning-device.
