IMPROVEMENTS IN SHUTTLE PEGS, AND IN BOBBINS THEREFOR
Year: 1884

page_text: PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
We, DAVID BAILEY of Clement Street Halifax, Yorkshire Power Loom Tuner
and BEN BERRY of Greenwood Street Halifax aforesaid, Power Loom Tuner, do
hereby declare the nature of our invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN SHUTTLE PEGS,
AND IN BOBBINS THEREFOR " to be as follows :—
The objects of our Invention are two fold.
Firstly. To dispense with the spring which is now attached to the shuttle
for holding the bobbin thereon, and
peg
Secondly-To dispense with the hook formed on the end of the shuttle peg which
hook is employed to prevent the bobbin from slipping off.
For the purpose of carrying out our Invention we attach a small lateral
projection on the said peg and we form within the barrel of the bobbin an annular
ring into which the said projection is inserted, so that after the bobbin is partially
turned around it cannot be pushed off the peg, nor can the peg be withdrawn until
the bobbin is twisted back again.
By these means bobbins are easily placed and secured on shuttle pegs, and by
dispensing with the hook on the end of the peg, the end of the bobbin is not worn
away as is the case at present.

and BEN BERRY, of Greenwood Street, Halifax, aforesaid, Power Loom Tuner do
hereby declaro the nature of our invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN SHUTTLE PEGS
AND IN BOBBINS THEREFOR," and in what manner the same is to be performed, to
be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
The objects of our invention are twofold.
Firstly. To dispense with the spring which is now attached to the shuttle peg,
for holding the bobbin thereon, and
Secondly. To dispenso with the hook formed on the end of the shuttle peg,
which hook is employed to prevent the bobbin from slipping off.
For the purpose of carrying out our invention we attach a small lateral
projection on the said peg, and we form within the barrel of the bobbin an annular
ring, into which the said projection is inserted, so that after the bobbin is partially
turned around, it cannot be pushed off the peg, nor can the peg be withdrawn until
the bobbin is twisted back again.
In order that our invention may be better understood we herein give reference
to the accompanying sheet of drawings, wherein Fig. 1. is section of a shuttle
and Fig 2 plan view of same. A is our improved shuttle peg, having a lateral
projection a thereon, and B is the bobbin having an annular groove b cut in
the inside. In order to introduce the lateral projection a into the annular groove,
the bottom of the bobbin is cut away as far as the annular groove, as shown
at c in Fig 3, so that in placing the bobbin onto the shuttle peg, the projection a
passes through the part c, and when it is pushed as far as the groove, the bobbin
is twisted and made secure thereby. As the bobbin may possibly get twisted back
again by being knocked backward and forward across the loom, we employ a
finger C which enters the shallow grooved formed in the base of the bobbin,
whereby it is held in position.
By these means bobbins are easily placed and secured on shuttle pegs, and by
dispensing with the hook on the end of the peg, the end of the bobbin is not worn
away as is the case at present.
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 :-
The means or methods herein shewn and described for preventing bobbins
slipping off shuttle pegs in manner substantially as set forth.
as set forth.
