PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements connected with Shuttle Boxes of Looms for Weaving.
I, GEORGE MITCHELL, of 37 Prospect Hill, Haslingden, in the County of
Lancaster, Cotton Weaver, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention relates to improved means of securing the picker spindle in
position in the shuttle box and to improvel construction of parts therefor.
According to this my invention, the stud is cast in one piece and one of its ends
forms a bolt projecting from the stud, the latter being bolted to the box. There
is formed transversly in the head of the stud, a recess and hole through which the
picker spindle is passed, and on this end of the picker spindle is a head, which
latter is received in the recess formed in the stud, the other end of the picker
spindle is chased or screwed, and is passed through the box end, and by means of
a nut and lock nut, the whole is securely held and screwed in position, and the box
plate need not extend more than half the depth of the box eud, and the usual box
end spring is dispensed with, being no longer necessary.
Dated this 28th day of October 1895.

Improvements connected with Shuttle Boxes of Looms for Weaving.
I, GEORGE MITCHELL, of 37 Prospect Hill, Haslingden, in the County of
Lancaster, Weaver, 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 :-
This invention relates to improved means of securing the picker spindle in
position in the shuttle box and to improved construction of parts therefor, by
means of which there is less wear and tear of the parts as they are securely fixed
in position and remain quite rigid when the loom is in motion. The usual box end
spring is also dispensed with.
Such being the nature and object of my said invention, the following is a
complete description of same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, in
which:-
Fig. 1 is a plan view of part of a shuttle box of a loom having my improvements
applied thereto.
Fig. 2 is a view in elevation of the box end plate.
Fig. 3 is an end view of the improved spindle stud.
Fig. 4 is a sectional plan view of the improved spindle stud.
According to this invention, the stud 1 and bolt 2 are cast in one piece, the bolt 2
projecting from the stud 1, the latter being passed through a hole in the slay
sword 3 and bolted to the same, as usual. There is formed transversly in the
head of the stud 1, a recess 4 and hole 5, through which the picker spindle 6 is
passed, and on the end of the picker spindle 6 is a head 7, which latter is received
[Price 8d.1

page_text: in the recess 4 formed in the stud 1. The opposite end of the picker spindle 6 is
chased or screwed as at 8, and is passed through the box end 9, and by means of a
lock nut 10, the whole is securely held and screwed in position, and the box end
plate 9 need not extend more than half the depth of the box end, though I prefer
that it should extend the full depth as usual, and the usual box end spring is
dispensed with, being no longer necessary. The head 7 of the spindle 6 may have
a square under head, as shewn by the drawings, and in this case there is a second
recess in the recess 4 to receive it.
By reason of the spindle 6 being held between the stud 1, and the box end
plate 9, in the manner described, there is little or no vibration of the parts when
the loom is in motion, consequently there is little wear and tear, and this can easily
be compensated for by tightening up the nut 10.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be perforined I declare that what
I claim is :-
(1) The stud 1 and bolt 2, the former recessed as at 4; the spindle 6 with
head 7; and the nut 10, all in combination, as and for the purpose herein
described, and substantially as illustrated by Fig. 1 of the annexed drawings.
(2) The spindle 6 having a head 7, and the recessed stud 1, combined with a
shuttle box, for the purpose herein described, and substantially as illustrated by
Fig. 1 of the accompanying drawings.
Dated this 25th day of June 1896.
