PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in and appertaining to Loom Shuttles.
We, DAVID BERRY of Nelson-in-Marsden in the County of Lancaster, Manu-
facturer, and CHRISTOPHER SHUTTLEWORTH of the same place, Overlooker, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows, that is to say :-
It consists of improvements in the formation or construction of shuttles as also
their pegs, and in the arrangement of the springs thereof, whereby the said pegs are
more firmly held in position and are rendered less liable to deterioration by wear
than are those as heretofore constructed and arranged.
We attain the object of our invention by making use of the old and well known
kind of folded spring, but instead of mounting same to act upon the shuttle's peg
from beneath the outer extending end, we so form the body of the shuttle that this
spring may be mounted above the fulcrum pin of said peg, in which position it is
arranged, by a notch being formed in the peg on the elongated side of the fulcrum
thereof, to act upon the peg in a more desirable manner than when in the other and
well known position.
A stop pin is mounted in the shuttle beneath the peg on the elongated side of its
fulcrum to arrest the descent of, as well as hold said peg when in its working
position, and on the other side of the fulcrum of and above said peg is mounted
another stop pin, which contributes considerably to the durability of the operating
parts of the shuttle, the outer end of the said peg which comes in contact with this
last named stop pin is notched or cut down to meet the requirements of said pin so
that the peg may be held in proper position.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in and appertaining to Loom Shuttles.
We DAVID BERRY of Nelson-in-Marsden in the County of Lancaster, Manu-
facturer and CHRISTOPHER SHUTTLEWORTH of the same place, Overlooker, 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, that is to say :-
It consists of improvements in the formation or construction of shuttles and in the
arrangement of their pegs and springs by which means said pegs are more firmly
held in position and the springs are no more liable to be broken by usage than are
those as heretofore arranged.
Hereunto appended is a sheet of drawings illustrative of our invention, the same
being referred to by figures and letters, in the following description.
Fig. 1 is a sectional side view shewing our improved shuttle with the peg a in its
position as when in actual use.
Fig. 2 is a top view of said shuttle and
Fig. 3 is a similar view to Fig. 1 but shews the peg a raised as when the cop is
to be applied thereto or fitted thereon.
We attain the object of our invention by making use of the old and well known
kind of folded spring b, but instead of mounting same to act upon the peg a from
Prine fd1

page_text: beneath the part a¹ of said peg a as it has done heretofore, we so form the body of
the shuttle c, as by the part c extending beneath said spring that this said
spring may be mounted above the peg's fulcrum d in which position it is arranged,
by its end 6 extending over the said fulcrum pin d to act upon said peg a in as
efficient a manner as when mounted in the usual and well known way, while by same
being mounted as shewn the body part c may be extended as at e² to strengthen this
part and afford more rigid support for the peg a, and the position of the spring b
being as shewn, its elasticity is obtained by its folded parts being pressed together
or towards each other in contradistinction to its being obtained by same being
opened or moved from each other as has heretofore been the case whenever the
spring has been mounted to operate above instead of below the peg a..
Again this arrangement of the spring band construction of part e' allows the
mounting of a stop-pin e for the heel of the peg a to come against while the cross
binding piece e on the part e contributes also to the stability of the peg a.
The peg a is kept in its raised position as shewn by Fig. 3, by the outer end
of the spring extending over the angled part of the end a'.
b
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is.
1. The combination of the spring b, of the form or shape as illustrated, the same
being mounted above the fulcrum of the peg a and arranged to operate as described,
the said peg a, the pine and the body-part e constructed or formed as shewn to
attain the object set forth.
