Improvements in and Connected with Loom Shuttle Pegs.
I, JOHN HOPKINSON 9, Wensleydale Parade Birstall near Leeds in the county
of York Designer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
See drawing, Fig. 1. side view of peg. (a) spring for pushing bobbin into place.
(b) hole bored through centre of head through which passes the end of peg and is
riveted on the other side. Fig. 2. front view of Peg. Fig. 3. Button for holding
on hobbin. It is put on end (c) (Figs. 1 & 2) & turned quarter round when it fastens
in countersunk part (d) being held there by spring (a) (Figs. 1 & 2). Fig. 4. view
of cup fitting on end of bobbin & holding bobbin end together. Fig. 5. section of
(Fig. 4). Fig. 6. Peg fitted with projection (e) Fig. 7. Tube with button (f) fits on
(Fig. 6) the slot (g) being put on projection (e) and then the tube is pushed up the peg
till it fastens in bend (4) being held in place by spring. Fig. 8 Peg with
projec
tion (I). Fig. 9 short tube with button (5) & slot (k), is pushed on end of (Fig. 8)
& given a turn when it fastens in bend being held in place by the spring.
By my invention described in aforesaid definition I claim that the labour of
weaving can be performed in a more profitable manner & further that the use of the
said invention entirely prevents the cracking of bobbins (and is therefore a great
saving). It also prevents the slipping off of bobbins in the loom. Also that it saves
time & requires less attention. I also claim by use of said invention that the production
& quality of produce is increased.
