Complete Specification Left. 16th Mar.. 1893-Accented 20th May 1893
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Shuttles for Weaving Looms. .
We, JOSEPH NICHOLAS D'ANDRIA, Merchant, and EDMUND SLICER, Manu--
facturer, both of 40, Chapel Street, Bradford, in the County of York, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in that type of weaving shuttle having
two shuttle pegs side by side for holding two bobbins or the like of weft and its
object is to enable this class of shuttle to hold larger bobbins or a larger quantity
of weft than hitherto.
The shed or opening between the warp threads through which the shuttle passes
is the widest close to the reed and we avail ourselves of this to increase the. height
of the back of the shuttle and we incline the top face downwards and forwards
making it approximately parallel to the upper portion of the warp when the shed
is open. And instead of nounting the shuttle pegs in the same plane we mount
the front peg as low as possible and the back peg more or less above the front peg.
Dated this 1st day of July 1892.

Improvements in Shuttles for Weaving Looms.
We, JOSEPH NICHOLAS D'ANDRIA, Merchant, and EDMUND SLICER, Manu--
facturer, both of 40, Chapel Street, Bradford, in the County of York, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:—
This invention relates to improvements in that type of weaving shuttle having
two shuttle pegs side by side for holding two bobbins or the like of weft and its.
object is to enable this class of shuttle to hold larger bobbins or a larger quantity
of weft than hitherto.
The shed or opening between the warp threads through which the shuttle passes
is the widest close to the reed and we avail ourselves of this to increase the height.
of the back of the shuttle and we incline the top face downwards and forwards.
making it approximately parallel to the upper portion of the warp when the shed
is open. And instead of mounting the shuttle pegs in the same plaue we mount
the first peg as low as possible and the back peg more or less above the front peg.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying sheet of drawings forming a part of
this Specification in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
in each of the figures.
Figure 1, represents a plan view of our improved shuttle.
Figure 2, is a cross section of the same on the broken line a, b Figure 1.
Figure 3, is a similar section on the broken line c, d and
Figure 4, is also a similar section on the broken line y, passing through the
weft eyes.
As clearly shown in the cross sections the top face A of the shuttle B is inclined
downwards from back to front and the pin C on which the back peg D is mounted
is raised above the pin C carrying the front shuttle peg D' so as to raise the back
peg D and bobbin E mounted thereon above the peg D₁ and front bobbin E'.
By

page_text: this construction we are enabled to put an appreciably larger quantity of weft on
the bobbins.
The weft eyes F, F for guiding the weft from the bobbins E and E' are
preferably respectively fitted in the top and bottom of the shuttle.
Having now. particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is:-
1. A weaving shuttle adapted to carry two weft bobbins or their equivalent of
weft in which the two shuttle pegs are placed side by side with the back peg
higher than the front peg, substantially as herein shown and described and
illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
2. A weaving shuttle adapted to carry two bobbins or their equivalent side by
side, having its upper face inclined downwards from back to front and the back
shuttle peg higher than the front peg, substantially as herein shown and described
and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
Dated this 15th day of March 1893.
