PICKER FOR LOOiViS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 443,307, dated December 23, 1890.
Application filed February 14, 1890- Serial No. 340,414. (No model.)
.T0 all whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES H. NVAGG, of Brunswick, in the county of Cumberland and State of Maine, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pickers vfor Looms, of which the following is a specification.
Myinvention relates to pickers, so called, whlch are contrivances arranged on the upper part of the picker stick or staff of looms, and which come in contact with the shuttle ii picking or impelling the latter through the s e It is the object of my invention to provide such improvements in pickers as will increase their durability, as well also as to simplify their construction.
My invention consists in the construction of a picker of a plurality of strips or pieces of leather or rawhide or other suitable material arranged so that in use they strike the shuttle edgewise, riveting such pieces together, and providing them at the sides of the point of the picker which strikes the shuttle with plates of metal securely riveted to the picker by rivets which pass through the metal plates and through the pieces of leather forming the picker, and which plates so secured prevent the spread and softening of the strips or pieces composing the picker at the picking-point.
My invention also consists in attaching the ends of the loop by which the picker is secured to the picker stick or staff to the picker at the sides of the latter opposite the picking-point and riveting metallic plates upon the said ends, which latter serve as re-en forces to the picker, while the plates accomplish the results before noted.
My invention will iirst be described in connection with the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, and then pointed out in the claims.
Of the said drawings, Figui-el is a side ele vation of my improved picker applied to the upper end of the picker-stick. Fig. 2 is a front view of the same. Fig. 3 is a sectional view of the same, taken on the line '3 3 of Fig. l. Fig.4 is a side elevation showing a modi fied form of the invention.
The same letters of reference designate the same parts wherever they occur.
a .designates a plurality of straight strips or pieces of leather, rawhide, or other suitable material of suitable length to form a picker, secured together by means of rivets b passing therethrough.
c designates the loop, the ends of which are attached to the strips c at the point where the picker will be brought in contact with the shuttle to impel the same through the shed. This loop c is made sufficiently large to be slipped upon the upper end of the picker stick or stad CZ and secure the picker in proper position thereon. c designates metallic plates, which are secured to the picker, preferably upon the ends of the loop c, by means of rivets f,which rivets pass through the plates, the ends of the loop c, and the strips a at points above and below the point g, which is the point that is brought in contact with the shuttle. Vith a picker thus arranged the ends of the loop c become re-enforces to the picker proper, and the metallic plates c prevent the spread of the strips by frequent contact with the point of the shuttle.
Instead of attaching the loop c to the picker proper at the picking-point, as is shown inv Figs 1 and 2, it may be attached thereabove, as is new common, and the plates c may be secured to the sides of the picker proper at the pickingepoint, as represented iir Fig. 4.
An important feature of my invention is the metallic plates e, riveted to the picker, as described, which plates prevent the spread and softening of the strips composing the picker at the picking-point, since in practice it has been ascertained that these devices render the picker far more durable than pickers of ordinaryconstruction.
Having thus explained the nature of my invention and described the way in which the same may be constructed and used,l declare that what l claim is-= 1. A pickel' for looms, consisting of a plurality of strips of leather or similar material secured together, with plates e, of metal, rivd eted upon the sides of the said strips by means of rivets f, which pass through the roo metal plates and through the pieces el. leather forming the picker at the point where the picker may strike the shuttle, as set forth.
2. A picker for looms, Consisting` of u plurality of strips of leather or similar material secured together, with the euds of the stielv attaching loep arranged on the sides of said strips at the point where the picker may strike the shuttle,and metallic plates riveted upon the ends of said loop and upon the said strips by means of rivetsf, which pass through the metal plates and through the pieces oi leather forming the picker, as set forth.
3. The Combination, with the picker consisting of a pluraliiyof straight strips (t and rivets l), securing the sume together, of the metallic plates e on the sides of the strips a at a point where the picker strikes the shuttle, and rivets j", passing' through the metal plates and through said strips, securing the parts together, as set forth.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification, in the presence of two subscribing witnesses, this 10th day of February, A. l). 1890.
