PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Apparatus for Retaining the Stop Rod in
Position when Required in Looms for Weaving.
We, DANIEL BATEMAN, JAMES OGDEN, and SMITH BROOK, all of Holme Top Mill,
Little Horton, Bradford, in the County of York, Manufacturers, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to certain improvements in apparatus for retaining the stop
rod in position whenever required, and has for its object the automatically releasing
of the same the moment the shuttle is replaced in the box after the same has been
removed for the finding of a broken “pick” or the like, thereby preventing a
trap
being formed in the piece, as is often the case when a bobbin or other support is used
for holding the stop rod back in the position required.
"

We accomplish our object in the following manner-To the back of theshuttle boxwe
mount in a vertical position a short rod which is free to slide in a flange being part
of the framework of the shuttle box, on to the said rod we form a wedge shaped
projection which when the rod is lifted by the weaver comes in contact with the end
of the ordinary swell mounted in the shuttle box, causing the same to operate the
stop rod a sufficient distance to be clear of the frog "thus allowing the
lathe" or
what is commonly known as the going part to be easily moved, facilitating the finding
of the broken pick. Immediately the shuttle is replaced in the box the swell
yields, allowing the additional rod to automatically drop to its normal position thus
liberating the stop rod and preventing the warp being damaged as is often the case
when the stop rod is held back by a bobbin or other support and not removed on
starting the loom.

Improvements in Apparatus for Retaining the Stop Rod in
Position when Required in Looms for Weaving.
We, DANIEL BATEMAN, JAMES OGDEX, and SMITH BROOK, all of Holme Top Mill,
Little Horton, Bradford, in the County of York, Manufacturers, 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 certain improvements in apparatus for retaining the stop
rod in position whenever required, and has for its object, the automatic releasing of
the same the moment the shuttle is replaced in the shuttle-box after it has been
removed for the finding of a broken pick or the like, thereby, on putting the
loon in motion, preventing a trap being formed in the piece as is often the case
when a bobbin or other support is used for holding the stop rod back in the position
required.
In order that our invention may be clearly understood, we will describe the same
by aid of the accompanying sheet of drawings, in which Fig. 1. represents an end
view of such portions of a loom, having our improvements attached, as are necessary
to illustrate our invention.
Fig. 2. a plan of the same.
Figs. 3 and 4 are details drawn to a larger scale.
To the back of the shuttle box A. secured to the going part in the ordinary
manner, we mount in a vertical position a short rod B. which is free to slide in the

bracket C. secured to the frame of the shuttle box A. and to the bottom of the said
rod B. we form a projection D. somewhat wedge shaped, which when the rod is lifted
by the weaver to the position illustrated in the drawings, comes in contact and
engages with an indentation cut in the end of the ordinary swell E. mounted in
the shuttle box A, thereby causing the same to operate the stop rod F. and thus
raise the end F' a sufficient distance to be clear of the " frog G. thus allowing the
lathe H. or what is commonly known as the "going part to be easily moved, and
thereby facilitate the finding of the broken pick." Immediately the shuttle is
replaced in the box A. the swell. yields a sufficient distance so as to allow the
rod B. to drop automatically to its normal position, thus liberating the stop rod F.
and thereby preventing the warp being damaged as is often the case when the
stop rod is held back by a bobbin or other support and not removed on starting
the loom.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention.
and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is:
The combination of a shuttle box A. of a loom with a rod B. having a projection D.
attached thereto -for the purpose of raising the end of stop rod at F clear of the
frog G. and which is automatically liberated on the replacement of a shuttle
in the box, all arranged substantially in the manner as hereinbefore described.
