PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Shuttles of Looms for Weaving.
BEN LOBLEY, HERMAN LOBLEY, and ERNEST LOBLEY, of 111 High Street,
Morley, in the County of York, Shuttle-makers, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention to be as follows :-
This invention relates to, and embraces improvements in loose pike stocks of
shuttles, employed in looms for weaving. Whereby the durability of shuttles are
increased, and the possibility of damage to weft, is considerably diminished, than
with the shuttles now in use.
To carry out the said invention, and in order that the same may be thoroughly
understood, we will proceed to describe the invention more fully, and for that purpose
make reference to the accompanying drawings.
Figs. 1 and 2 are sectional elevations. Figs. 3 and 4 are plan and end elevation
respectively, of our improvement in loose pike stocks.
The gripping jaws 2 and 3, at point 11, are hinged, and are inserted into the
shuttle-head, and fastened in the ordinary manner, by means of pins 12, passing
directly through the shuttle and rib 4. Spring 5 supports hinged jaw 3, and at 6,
a projection is formed on lip 7, to fit into spring 5, as shewn in Fig. 2, and a corre-
sponding hole is made in the shuttle-head, to receive the other end of spring, in
order that the proper action of spring 5 be maintained. Whenever a change of
weft bobbins is affected, the pike 1 is lifted up and taken out, by means of pins 9,
acting as a fulcrum to pike 1, causing jaw 3 to receed and spring 5 to be depressed.
And in replacing the said pike 1, pin 10 acts as a fulcrum, and the said gripping
jaws are forced apart, in order to admit pike 1, into its normal position. A spring 8
is placed under lip 7, in order to press against the weft bobbins, and to prevent the
bobbin rotating. In order that pike 1 shall be effectually retained in its proper
position, lugs 13 are formed on jaw 2, as shewn in Figs. 1 and 4.

Improvements in Shuttles of Looms for Weaving.
BEN LOBLEY, HERMAN LOBLEY, ERNEST LOBLEY 111, High Street,
Morley, in the County of York, Shuttlemakers, 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 :-
This invention relates to and embraces improvements in loose pike stocks of
shuttles, employed in looms for weaving. Whereby the durability of shuttles are
increased, and the possibility of damage to weft is considerably diminished, than
with the shuttles now in itse.
To carry out the said invention, and in order that the same may be thoroughly
understood, we will proceed to describe the invention more fully, and for that
purpose make reference to the drawings left with the Provisional Specification-
Fig. 1 and 2 are sectional elevations, Figs. 3 and 4 are plan and end elevation
respectively, of our improvement in loose pike stocks.

page_text: The gripping jaws 2 and 3, at point 11, are hinged, and are inserted into the
shuttle-head, and fastened in the ordinary manner, by means of pins 12, passing
directly through the shuttle and rib 4. Spring 5 supports hinged jaw 3, and at 6,
a projection is formed on lip 7. to fit into spring 5, as shewn in Fig. 2, and a corre-
sponding hole is made in the shuttle-head, to receive the other end of spring 5 in
order that the proper action of spring 5 be maintained.
Whenever a change of weft bobbins is affected, the pike 1, is lifted up and taken
out, by means of pin 9 acting as a fulcrum to pike 1, causing jaw 3 to receed, and
spring 5 to be depressed. And in replacing of the said pike 1, pin 10 acts as a
fulcrum, and the said gripping jaws 2, and 3, are forced apart, in order to admit
pike 1 into its normal position. A spring 8 may be placed under lip 7, or a piece of
rubber, or some other analagous substance, may be fixed to the shuttle-head or
stock, in order to press against the weft bobbins, and to prevent the weft bobbins
rotating.
In order that pike 1, shall be effectually retained in its proper position, lug 13 is
formed on jaw 2, as shewn in Fig. 1, 2, and 4.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is :-
1. The general construction and combination of parts arranged for the purpose
of retaining firmly, the loose pikes of shuttles.
2. The prevention of the weft bobbin rotating as indicated and substantially as
described and illustrated.
