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 consists of a tube having a flange at one end, and the other end
half the tube is cut away for about half an inch. Also a flat half round spring with
both ends turned downwards. I place this spring in the tube,.and fasten it to the
flange end of the tube, the other end of the spring projects out under the part cut
away with the bend or hook downwards, the end of the hook is level with the tube,
when it is off the shuttle pike, this bend or hook holds the tube on the shuttle pike.
The tubes are made of iron, tin, or any other suitable metals.
i also make the shuttle pike to fit the tube, with a flat side, to allow for the spring

I also put a pin through the shuttle under the pike, for the hook of the spring in
the tube, to hold the tube on the pike.
The shuttle pike is held in position with pins and spring as usual.
My invention will be readily understood on reference to the accompanying sheet of
drawings.
