PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
A Guard for Loom Shedding Mechanism.
I, ELI GOULDSBOROUGH of 54 High Street, Rishton, in the County of
Lancaster, Tin Plate Worker, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
:
"
This invention relates to a new and improved form of guard to be employed on.
looms for weaving when what is known as a "sateen motion is used, as the
mechanism forming such motion is generally fixed at such a point on the loom that
a danger of the attendant or operative being caught thereby exists especially when.
leaning over the loom to more closely examine the work, or other cause.
According to this my said invention I employ an angled bracket terminating at
one end in a preferably two pronged fork, the bracket being secured to the top rail,
or any other convenient part of the loom by means of nut and bolt; in such a
position that the fork extends to the front of the "sateen motion." On the prongs
of the fork I slide a metal guard, preferably tin, of such shape as to enclose, or
partly enclose the "sateen motion," the guard being provided with sockets for the
reception of the prongs of the bracket, so that if desired the guard can readily be
removed, and again replaced.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A Guard for Loom Shedding Mechanism.
I, ELI GOULDSBOROUGH of 54 High Street, Rishton, in the County of Lancaster,
Tin Plate Worker, 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 a new and improved form of guard, to be employed
on looms for weaving when what is known as a "sateen motion is used, as
the mechanism forming such motion is generally fixed at such a point on the
loom that a danger of the attendant or operative being caught thereby exists
especially when leaning over the loom to more closely examine the work, or for
other reason.
According to this my said invention I employ an angled bracket terminating at
one end in a preferably two pronged fork, the bracket being secured to the top rail
or any other convenient part of the loom by means of nut and bolt, in such a
position that the fork extends to the front of the "sateen motion." On the prongs
of the fork I slide a metal guard, preferably tin, of such shape as to enclose or
partly enclose, the "sateen motion. The guard being provided with sockets
for the reception of the prongs of the bracket, so that if desired the guard can
readily be removed, and again replaced.
Such being the nature and object of my said invention, the following is a
complete description of same reference being had to the accompanying drawings in
which:-
Fig. 1 is a front elevation of part of a “sateen motion" with the improved guard

page_text: Fig. 3 is a plan view of Figs. 1 and 2.
Fig. 4 is a front elevation of a guard and its carrying brackets.
According to this my said invention I employ an angled bracket 1 preferably
made of stout wire and terminating at one end in a two pronged fork 2.
The bracket is secured by nuts and bolts 3, to the top rail 4 or to the bracket 5
cast to a part of the "sateen motion" 6 or.to any other convenient part of the
loom. The fork 2 of the bracket 1 extends beyond the "sateen motion 6 and on
the prongs of the fork 2, I slide a metal guard 7 preferably of tin there being
receptacles 8. 8 cast or formed on the guard 7 corresponding to the prongs of the
fork 2. The guard encloses the front and sides of the "sateen motion" (see Fig. 3)
and may be made so as to enclose the top of the motion 6 as shewn by the dotted
lines in Fig. 1 when the guard is of the form shewn by Fig. 4.
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 :-
The bracket 1 combined with a guard such as herein described and applied to a
sateen motion on looms for weaving as and for the purpose herein described and as
illustrated by the drawings annexed.
