I JAMES WADDINGTON Holme Top Mills Bradford in the county of York Shuttle
Maker do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My Improvement relates to that class of Shuttle Tongues wherein the Tongue and
Tongue Head are formed in seperate parts.
The method hitherto adopted has been to drill a Cylindrical hole longitudinaly
through the Tongue Head and to form a flat on the end of the Cylindrical part of the
Tongue which fits into the Tongue Head-the flat passing over a pin fixed in the
Tongue Head so as to prevent the Tongue turning round-when constructed on this
principle the Tongue is liable to rapid wear and to partially turn round consequent on
the small surface of the pin in contact with the flat formed on the Cylindrical end of
the Tongue.
My Improvement consists in constructing the Tongue Head having a longitudal
hole through which may be either oblong or square in section, and also in con-
structing that part of the Tongue which fits into the Tongue Head of a similar sectial
form to the longitudinal hole passing through the Tongue Head.
By this method of construction I secure a large increase of flatted surface in the
Tongue Head operating against the Tongue wearing loose so rapaidly or of allowing
the Tongue to partially turn round.
At the front end of the Tongue Head 1 construct, a flange which prevents the
Tongue Head being so liable to burst or crack and at the same time provides a larger
increase of surface for the spool head to press against and so prevent the spools
breaking so frequently.

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
statement:
My improvements relates to that class of shuttle tongues wherein the tongue and
tongue head are in seperate parts-the method hitherto adopted has been to drill a
cylindrical hole longitudinaly through the tongue head and to form a flat on the end
of the cylindrical part of the tongue which fits into the tongue heads-the flat passing
over a pin fixed in the tongue head so as to prevent the tongue turning round-when
constructed on this principle the tongue is liable to rapid wear and to partially turn
round consequent on the small surface of the pin in contact with the flat formed on
the cylindrical end of the tongue.
My Improvement consists in constructing the tongue head having a longitudinal
hole through which may be either oblong or square in section and also in constructing
that part of the tongue which fits into the tongue head of a similar sectional form
to the longitudinal hole passing through the tongue head-By this method of con-
struction I secure a large increase of flatted surface in the tongue head operating
against the tongue wearing loose so rapidly or of allowing the tongue to partially
turn round-At the front part of the tongue head I construct a flange which prevents
the tongue head being so liable to burst or crack and at the same time provides a
larger increase of surface for the spool head to press against and so prevent the
spools breaking so frequently.
In order that my Improvements may be more clearly understood I have appended
a Sheet of drawings.
Fig. 1 is a side elevation of my shuttle tongue and tongue head complete. Fig. 2
is an end elevation of the tongue head at the flange A Fig. 1. B Fig. 2 shews
sectional form of oblong hole which passes through tongue head-C Fig. 1 is the
tongue end of similar sectional form to the hole B Fig. 2-The tongue end C Fig. 1
is constructed so that it fits nearly the whole length of the tongue head.
Having now particulary 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
The construction of shuttle tongue heads provided with flanges in combination
with the sectional form of the holes and tongu: ends sustantially as and for the
purpose described.
