ALFRED ISHERWOOD, OF NEW BEDFORD, MASSACHUSETTS.
LOOM-SI-IU'TTLE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Aug. 19,1913.
Original application filed July 27, 1909, Serial No. 509,861. Divided and this application filed December 1, 1910. Serial No. 595,020.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ALFRED Isrrnnwoon, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of New Bedford, in the county of Bristol and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Loom- Shuttles, of which the follpwing is a specification.
lily invention relates to loom shuttles, and more particularly to a delivery eye adapted to be used with self-threading shuttles such as are used in automatic filling-replenishing looms or with common shuttles, and the objcct thereof is to improve the construction of such eye in the manner hereinafter set forth.
One embodiment of my invention is shown in the drawings which accompany and form part of this specification, but it will be understood that various modifications may be made therein without departing from the principle of my invention.
In the drawingsFigure 1 is a plan view of the delivery end of a common shuttle provided with my improved delivery eye. Fig. 2 is a side view of the shuttle shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 represents the blank from which the eye may be formed. Fig. 4 is a plan view of said eye. Fig. 5 is a transverse section taken on the line ll11 of Fig. at. Fig. 6 is a plan view of one form of guard that may be used with the shuttle shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 7 is an edge view of said guard. Fig. 8 is a front view of said guard.
In the particular drawings selected for illustrating my invention 1 represents a common shuttle provided with the usual metallic tip 2. The eye 7 is inserted transversely in the throat of the shuttle which is provided with the slot 11 extending as shown diagonally across the top of the shuttlc and having its inner end terminating at the lower end of the circumferential slot 8 of the eye. The slot 11 intersects the longitudinal slot 12 formed in the front side of the shuttle.
The eye -7 is preferably formed from a blank shown in Fig. 3 and is approximately circular in section throughout a portion of its length. This eye is provided with the above mentioned slot 8 which intersects the longitudinal slot 8 and the latter terminates in a circular hole ii on the upper side of the eye. The inner lip 13 is formed by bending the portion of the blank shown at 13 in Fig. 3 under the surface of the eye so that the lip underlies a portion of the longitudinal slot 8 as most clearly shown in Fig. 4-. The delivery-end of the eye near the front wall of the shuttle is provided with two downwardly extending curved lips 15 and 16 formed by bending the portions of. the blank designated as 15 and 1 6 in Fig. 3.
In order to thread the shuttle, the operator will grasp one end of the thread A and pass it through the slot 11, thereby bringing it into the slot 8 of the eye, and will then draw it inwardly through the slot 12, thereby causing the thread to enter the slot 8, to pass under the lip 13 and up into the hole 14, and finally to pass between the shuttle and the lip 15, whereupon the shuttle is threaded and the position of the thread in the shuttle is as shown in Fig. 1 at A A. The downwardly-extending lips 15 and l6prevent the thread from leaving the eye in a manner that will be obvious.
In order to prevent the outward ballooning of the thread, I may employ a guard which may also perform the function of a tension device. This guard which is shown in detail in Figs. 6, 7 and 8, consists of a base 20 which is held in adjustable position in two slots cut in the throat of the shuttle, an upwardly-extending piece 20 substantially at right angles to said base and an outwardly-extending flat piece 17 the corner 18 of which enters a groove in the shuttle above the eye 7 and is firmly held in position thereby. The piece 17 is provided with a rearwardly-extending lip 19, which as shown in Fig. 1, fits loosely into a slot in the shuttle, the slot being large enough to permit the thread to pass over said lip. 22 is an eye which I may call a tension-eye consisting of a slit in the inward end of the guard, and 21 is an upwardly.-extending guard for said eye. The eye 22 is so positioned with respect to the hole 1% in the top of the eye 7 as to put the thread under tension, and in the present instance the eye 22 is placed below the hole 14: so that the thread must pass up an incline from the eye 22 to the top of the eye 7. The tension on the thread may be regulated by turning the eye 7 in its socket. hen the guard just described is employed, the thread is broughtthrough the slot 11 and then the inward movement of the thread through the slot 12 will draw the thread over the lip 19 and in the slot into which said lip projects, and then over the guard. 21 and into the eye 22 and finally into the eye 7 in the manner hereinbetore described.
It will be understood from the above description that the eye 7 may be employ-ed With an automatic or a common shuttle and that any suitable tension device may be used, and furthermore that if it be used. in a connnon shuttle, the latter may be proided with the combined guard and tension device described in connection with F G, 7 and S as shown in Figs. 1 and 2.
This application is a division of my appiication Serial No. 509 861, filed July 27, 1.909.
I claim:
1. A loom-shuttle having a removable delivery-eye inserted transversely in the throat of the shuttle and provided With a slot a lip in the interior of said eye adjacent to and passing under said slot, said lip being adapted to prevent the filling-thread from leaving said eye, and two downwardly-extending lips secured to the delivery-end of said eye atthe front Wall of said shuttle.
2. A loom-shuttle having a removable delivery-eye inserted transversely in the throat of the shuttle and provided With a slot, and two doivnwardly-extending lips secured to the delivery-end of said eye at the front- Wall of said shuttle.
it loom-shuttle having a removable delivery-eye inserted transversely in the throat of the shuttle and provided With a slot, one portion of said slotbeing circumferential and the other portion thereof at right, angles to the first portion being longitudinal of said eye, a lip in the interior of said eye adjacent to and passing under the longitudinal portion of said slot, and two downu'ardly-extending lips secured to the do livery-end of said eye at the front Wall of said shuttle.
ii.- A loon'i-shuttle having a removable delivery-eye insert-ed transversely in the throat of the shuttle and provided. with a slot one portion of said slot being circumferential and the other portion at right angles to the first portion being longitudinal of the eye, and two downivardly-extending lips secured to the delivery-end of said eye at the front wall of said shuttle.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto subscribed my name this 25 day of Nov. 1910.
