PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or connected with Shuttles of Looms for
Weaving.
We, JOSEPH TEMPLETON, of 2, Shay Terrace, Carlinghow, Batley, Loom
Tuner, and WILLIE FOSTER, of Martin Street, Birstall, Shuttle Maker, both in
the County of York, do hereby declare the nature of this invention, to be as
follows:-
Our invention relates to the tips and pikes of shuttles employed in looms for
weaving.
The objects of our invention are to provide a new or improved shuttle tip, so as
to prevent the tip coming out in the process of weaving, thereby avoiding damage
to the fabric, and splitting of the shuttle ends, also to provide the shuttle pike to
prevent splitting of the bobbins.
In carrying out our invention we employ instead of ordinary plug tips, a screw
tip, or tip having a thread thereon, by which the tip is secured in the shuttle, and
the pike is provided with a blade spring on one side which extends from the catch
on the pike to about half way of the pike, the pike being adapted to receive it,
and allow the free end of the spring to slide for the contraction and expansion of
the spring as required by putting on or taking off the bobbin, the pivot end of the
pike is also provided with a disc or circular flange with a rib across it which
engages into the groove in the bobbin end when such is placed on the pike.

page_text: Fig. 3 is a further side elevation showing bobbin applied in section.
Fig. 4, is a front elevation (through the line X X) of disc or circular flange G
with rib H.
In carrying out our invention we employ instead of ordinary plug tips a screw
tip A or tip having a thread B thercon by which the tip is secured in the shuttle,
and the pike C is provided with a blade spring D, on one side which extends from
the catch E on the pike C, to about half way of the pike, the pike being adapted
at F to receive it, and allow the free end of the spring D to slide for the
contraction and expansion of the spring, as required by putting on or taking off
the bobbin, the pivot end of the pike is also provided with a disc or circular
flange G with a rib H across it, which engages into the groove J in the bobbin
end when such is placed on the pike C.
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 :-
1. In shuttles employed in looms for weaving, the combination of screw tips or
tips having threads thereon, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
2. In shuttles employed in looms for weaving, the combination of pikes having
blade springs arranged on one side and extending from the catches to about half
way of the pikes and having free ends adapted to slide on the pikes, such as shown
and described.
3. In shuttles employed in looms for weaving the combination of pikes having
circular discs with ribs at or towards the pivot ends of the pikes, the said ribs
being for engaging into recesses in the bobbins, such as shown and described.
