Improvements relating to Picking Mechanism of Looms for
Weaving.
1, RICHARD MARSH, of Green Mount, Tottington, near Bury, in the County
of Lancashire, Loom Jobber, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:
My invention relates to an improved buffer with check action attachment
applicable to looms, which consists of a metallic buffer on the end of a rod, the
other end of the said rod being attached to the picker. Near or on the head of the
buffer is placed a cranked arm which slides on a rod in a frame with a spiral
spring the said frame being fixed to the loom in any suitable position. A leather
washer is placed on the rod below the cranked arm. The picker is mounted on
the rod or spindle the said picker slides thereon; this spindle is fixed to the
spindle stud and attached to the shuttle box by a bolt and nut. Loose collars
are placed on the rod where the spiral spring operates, with setscrews in order
to regulate the tension of the spring or to stop the rebound of the buffer.
The object of my invention is to dispense with the leather buffer and strap now
in common use.
It will be understood that the foregoing is given by way of illustration, and
that the shapes materials and proportions of the parts may be varied in many
ways within the scope of my invention.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements relating to Picking Mechanism of Looms for
Weaving.
I, RICHARD MARSH, of Green Mount, Tottington, near Bury, in the County
of Lancashire, Loom Jobber, 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 invention relates to picking mechanism of looms for weaving.
And in order that my invention may be thoroughly understood, I now proceed to
describe the accompanying drawing thereof, reference being had to letters and
figures marked thereon."
Fig. 1, is a front elevation.
Fig. 2, is a plan of the underside of shuttle box with the apparatus.
This invention is constructed with a metallic buffer sliding on the rod or
spindle c.
Near or on the head of the buffer is placed a cranked arm which
slides on a rod in a frame h with a spiral spring m the said frame being fixed to
the loom or lathe top e by a bolt and nut or in any other suitable position.
A leather washer a is placed on the rod below the cranked arm between buffer
and picker. The picker is mounted on the rod or spindle the said picker slides
thereon this spindle is fixed to the spindle stud d which is attached to the shuttle
box a by a bolt and nut. Loose collars and are placed on the rod o where the
spiral spring m operates, with set screws in order to regulate the tension of the
spring and to stop the rebound of the buffer. The buffer slides on the rod o
which carries the spring m as well as sliding on the spindle but is no support to
the rod o this said rod o being held firmly by the bolt i.

It will be understood that the foregoing is given by way of illustration, and that
the shapes materials and proportions of the parts may be varied in many ways
within the scope of my invention.
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. In picking mechanism of looms for weaving, the combination of the picker b,
spindle con which picker slides, washer n, buffer ƒ and spindle stud d in a shuttle
box, substantially as herein described and according to the accompanying drawing.
2. In picking mechanism of looms for weaving, the combination of the buffer f
the rod o and spiral spring m, loose collars and l, with the bolt i fitted to a
shuttle box and lathe top, substantially as herein described and according to the
accompanying drawing.
