I, THOMAS ROLLINSON, of Paddock, near Huddersfield, Yorkshire, Shuttle Maker,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
follows:-
as
The object of my invention is to employ a loose shuttlo pog or spindlo, which can be
readily secured to the shuttle and released again when required to place on the said
spindlo a fresh cop or bobbin. To construct the parts according to my improved
method, one or more annular grooves are formed in the shuttle peg, which is
inserted into a short tube made with internal projections for catching into the annular
grooves for the purpose of holding the peg in position; or the pog may be held in
position by the projecting end of a cranked lever forced into one of the annular
grooves by a spring, but it may be released therefrom by the pressure of the thumb
upon the said hinged lever.
By the employment of the mechanism herein described every facility is afforded
for taking the shuttle peg out and replacing it, and when once inserted it cannot, of
itself, possibly become loosened.

page_text: 1, THOMAS ROLLINSON, of Paddock, near Huddersfield, Yorkshire, Shuttle Maker,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to bo
performel, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
The object of my invention is to employ a loose shuttle peg or spindle, which can
be readily secured to the shuttle and released again when required to place on the said
spindle a fresh rop or hobbin. To construct the parts according to my improved
method, one or more annular grooves are formed in the shuttle par, which is inserted
into a short tube and held in position by the projecting end of a ranked løver forced
into one of the annular grooves by a spring, but it is released therefrom by the pressure
of the thumb upon the said hinged lever.
Such being the nature and object of my said invention, I will now proceed to
describe the same more fully, and for that purpose make reference to the accompanying
sheet of drawings illustrative thereof, wherein Fig. 1 is plan view of a shuttle and
Figs. 2, 3, and 4 are sections thereof showing my improved parts, whilst Fig. 4 is an
enlarged view of my said improvements, which consist of a moveable shuttle peg A
made with annular grooves B, such annular grooves boing required whon hobbins or
spools of different lengths are placed upon the spindle A. Safely embedded in the
shuttlo is a square or other form of block C mado with a central round hole, through
which the shuttle peg is placed. Rising up above the square block (are projections D
through which a pin E is passed for hingeing the cranked lover F, the cranked end of
which, by means of a spiral spring G, kept in position by a vertical stud is forced
onto the shuttle peg, and when one of the annular grooves are prosented to the
cranked lever F, the projecting end a is forced into said grooves, whereby the shuttlo.
peg is held firmly in position and cannot be drawn out until the weaver presses his
thumb upon the hinged lever, when the shuttle peg can be easily removed. The square
block C, according to one method, is inserted in an opening made in the top part of
the shuttle and kopt down by two wires placed transversely, or a hole may be made
underneath tho shuttle so as to introduce the square block from the underside, but in
this case the hinged pin E would have to go through the wood of the shuttle, but the
action and construction of the parts is the same as that already described.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invon-
tion, and in what manner the same is to bo performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
The use of a shuttlo peg made with annular grooves, such peg being kept in
position by a hinged lover and spring in the manner specified and shown in the
drawings.
