page_text: Date of Application, 16th Sept., 1893
Complete Specification Left, 14th June, 1891-Accepted, 14th July, 1894
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or relating to Lattice Pegs for Dobbies employed
with Looms for Weaving.
We, JOHN WARD of 20 Booth Street, Overlooker, and JOHN OWEN PAYNTER
of 163 Kearsley View, Weaving Manager, both of Farnworth near Bolton in the
County of Lancaster, do hereby declare the nature of our said invention to be as
follows:-
:-
This invention refers to Improvements in or relating to Lattice Pegs for Dobbies
employed with Looms for Weaving, and is designed to prevent or minimise the
wearing of the said pegs. It is well known that much inconvenience is caused at
times and great damage done to cloth when being woven through the lattice pegs
becoming worn on their operating surface, which causes them to act very irregularly
on the dobby levers. To overcome this defect and ensure of the pegs operating
uniformly on the dobby levers we case or protect the same with metallic or other
caps of any convenient length. If desired the caps may be provided with one or
more slits on the spring principle to allow of them firmly gripping the pegs when
placed thereon.

page_text: E is intended to represent a dobby lattice, and G the ordinary wooden pegs
employed for operating the dobby levers. To prevent or minimise the wearing
of the wooden pegs G we case or protect them with the metallic caps or tubes H,
which are pressed thereon and may extend the full length or otherwise as desired.
To ensure of the metallic caps or tubes H gripping the wooden pegs G they are
split as shown. If desired the metallic caps or tubes H may be provided with
the flange I to allow of them sitting firmly on the lattice and increase the strength
.of same.
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 :-
In combination with lattice pegs of dobbies employed with looms for weaving
the use of the metallic caps or tubes H, substantially as described and as shown on
the drawings for the purpose specified.
