We PETER TURNER of 99 Cheltenham Street Rochdale Road, Shuttle maker, and
DAVID TURNER of 16 Fildes Street. Rochdale Road Warehouseman, both of
Manchester in the County of Lancaster do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows :-
This invention relates to the shuttles used in looms for weaving. The tongues or
pegs of such shuttles frequently become loose at the hinge joint owing to the
enlargement by wear of the hole in the butt end of the tongue or peg, or to the
decrease by wear of the pin which passes through the same and forms the hinge upon
which it turns, and it is to remedy this defect and to increase the durability of the
tongue or peg that this invention is principally designed.
The invention consists chiefly in inserting in the hole in the butt end of the tongue
or peg a bush or lining of woven or felted cloth or other suitable fibrous material in
which the hinge pin works and which will he found to prevent the hole or the pin
(or both) from becoming worn away so quickly, and thus keep the joint of the
tongue from becoming loose for a much longer time than if the two metals worked in
contact with each other, and it will also effect a saving in oil.
peg or
The most convenient way for inserting thus bush or lining is to cut a long strip of
woven or felted woollen cloth or other suitable material of a width about equal to the
circumference of the hole (say about three times its diameter) and after narrowing
one end and applying glue, paste or other adhesive substance thereto curl or twist it
to a point and let it become dry and hard.
This point can then he passed through the hole in the butt end of the tongue or
peg and will draw the strip of cloth after it ibrough the hole, the two edges thereof
meeting together so as to form a tube or bush (inside the hole), which is then cut off
Alush at each side.
The hinge pin is then inserted in the usual manner, and the tongue or peg will
then be found to work smoothly and easily upon the pin without requiring to be oiled,
and will last a much longer time than ordinarily without wearing or becoming loose.

We HANNAH TURNER Widow and administratrix of the late Peter Turner of
99 Cheltenham Street Rochdale Road Shuttlemaker, and DAVID TURNER of
16 Feldes Street Rochdale Road Warehouseman, both of Manchester in the County
of Lancaster do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the
is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :-

This invention relates to shuttles used in looms for weaving. The tongues or pegs
of such shuttles frequently become loose at the hinge joint owing to the enlargement
by wear of the hole in the butt end of the tongue or peg or to the decrease by wear
of the pin which passes through the saine and forms the hinge upon which it turns,
and it is to remedy this defect and to increase the durability of the tongue or peg
that this invention is principally designed.
The invention consists chiefly in inserting in the hole in the butt end of the tongue
or peg a bush or lining of woven or felted cloth, leather or other suitable material, in
which the hinge pin works and which will be found to prevent the hole or the pin
(or both) from becoming worn away so quickly and thus keep the joint of the peg or
tongue from becoming loose for a much longer time than if the two metals worked in
contact with each other, and it will also effect a saving in oil.
The most convenient way for inserting this bush or lining is to cut a long strip of
woven or felted woollen cloth leather or other suitable material of a width equal to
the circumference of the hole (say about three times its diameter) and after narrowing
one end and applying glue paste or other adhesive substance thereto curl or twist it
to a point and let it become dry and hard. This point can then be passed through
the hole in the butt end of the tongue or pen and will draw the strip of cloth after it.
through the hole, the two edges thereof meeting together so as to form a tube or bush
(inside the hole) which is then cut off flush at each side. The hinge pin is then
inserted in the usual manner and the tongue or peg will then be found to work
smoothly and easily upon the pin without requiring to be oiled and will last a much
longer time than ordinarily without wearing or becoming loose.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we claim is :-
The improvement in loom shuttles consisting in lining the inside of the hole in the
butt end of the tongue or peg thereof with a bush of woven or felted woollen cloth,
leather or other suitable material substantially in the manner and for the purpose
hereinbefore particularly set forth and described.
