Complete Specification Accepted, 27th Apr., 1889
We, WILLIAM HILTON and GEORGE HILTON both of Haynes Street Shuttle Works
Middle Hulton near Bolton in the County of Lancaster Shuttle Makers, do hereby
declare the nature of this Invention to be as follows
Our invention relates to improvements in the manufacture of shuttles and bobbins
and in the method of holding or securing bobbins upon the pegs or spindles of
shuttles.
In carrying our improvements into effect we form a groove or recess in the shuttle
on either side of and near the head or base of the shuttle peg and we form or secure
on the bobbin at or near the base an annular projection or flange which fits into the
aforesaid grooves or recesses in the shuttle when the bobbin is placed in position on
the shuttle peg and the latter is pressed down into the shuttle.
The chief advantage of this mode of construction is that the grooves hold the
annular projection or flange and so secure the bobbin firmly in its position on the
shuttle peg without the side springs or clips now usually employed for the purpose
the bobbin being absolutely fixed until the shuttle peg is raised.

We WILLIAM HILTON and GEORGE HILTON both of Haynes Street Shuttle Works
Middle Hulton near Bolton in the County of Lancaster Shuttle Makers 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:-
Our invention relates to improvements in the manufacture of shuttles and bobbins
and in the method of holding or securing bobbins upon the pegs or spindles of
shuttles.
In carrying our improvements into effect we form a groove or recess in the shuttle
on either side of and near the head or base of the shuttle peg and we form or secure
on the bobbin at or near the base an annular projection or Hange which fits into the
aforesaid grooves or recesses in the shuttle when the bobbin is placed in position on
the shuttle peg and the latter is pressed down into the shuttle.
The chief advantage of this mode of construction is that the grooves hold the
annular projection or flange and so secure the bobbin firmly in its position on the
shuttle peg without the side springs or clips now usually employed for the purpose
the bobbin being absolutely fixed until the shuttle peg is raised.
And in order that our invention may be fully understood and readily carried into
effect we will describe the accompanying Sheet of Drawings reference being had to
the figures and letters marked thereon.
Figures 1 and 2 are plan views of a shuttle and bobbin made according to our
invention Fig. 1 showing the shuttle peg raised with the hobbin thereon and Fig. 2
showing the shuttle peg and bobbin pressed down into the shuttle.
Fig. 3 is an elevation of Fig. 1 with part of the side of the shuttle removed.
Fig. 4 is a view of the bobbin detached.
In these views a designates the body of the shuttle made according to our inven-
tion with a groove or recess a¹ on either side of the base of the shuttle peg b and c
designates the bobbin made with an annular projection or flange c¹ corresponding to
and formed to fit in the aforesaid grooves or recesses a¹.
It will be readily understood that when the shuttle peg 6 with the bobbin thereon
is pressed down into the body of the shuttle as shown in Fig. 2 that the projection or
flange centers the grooves or recesses a¹ whereby the bobbin c is held firmly in
position without any of the ordinary side springs or clips.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is :-
1-The improved method of holding a bobbin in a loom shuttle by means of an
annular projection or flange formed on said bobbin to fit into corresponding grooves
or recesses formed in said shuttle substantially in the manner and for the purposes
herein set forth.
2-A loom shuttle made with grooves or recesses and a bobbin made with an
annular projection or flange formed to fit in said grooves or recesses substantially as
and for the purposes specified.
