I, WILLIAM FOSTER of Birstall in the County of York, Shuttle Maker, 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

ordinary spring peg is employed.
I construct the peg with a flange at its outer end, the said peg being movable
from the block when lifted up and when shut down the peg is locked in position by
a fixed cotter, the aforesaid block and peg have each a hole through which the
fixed cotter passes as the peg is pressed home; the block and peg are kept in
position by a spring.
The bobbin is held firm by projections on the block which fit into the recesses in
the end of the bobbin.
