Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented ov. 22 1910.

Application filed May 25, 1909. Serial No. 498,223. I

To all whom it may concern: I

Be it known that I, NAPOLEON Canon, a citizen of the United States, .residin at Nashua, in the county of Hillsboro and tate of New Hampshire, have invented new and useful Improvements in Hand-Threading- Shuttle Attachments, of'which the following is a specification- This. invention relates to shuttles for looms, and the primary object of the invention is to provide a shuttle with novel means whereby the yarn may be easily and quickly fed from the bobbin without danger of breaking the same.

With the above and other objects'in view which will appear asthe description progresses the invention resides in the novel construction andflcombination of elements hereinafter fully described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawing-there has been illustrated a shuttle constructed in accordance with my invention and in which,

Figure '1 is a perspective view of the shuttle. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section upon the line 2-2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view upon the line 3--3 of Fig.v 1. Fi s. 4 and 5 are perspective views of the gulde members. .7 a

In the accompanying drawing the numeral 1 designates an ordinary shuttle for looms. This shuttle 1-isrovided with a usual spring pressed spin le upon which is posibobbin 2 also of theordinary construction. The forward end of the shuttle is provided'with' an angular-1y. arranged vertical slot 3 upon its solid forward portion and this slot 3 communicates with a'horizontal slot or opening 4. The inner transverse wall of the solid end of the shuttlel is provided with a yarn guide 5. This guide 5 comprises a substantially L-shaped member having its vertical wall provided with an inclined slot 6 communicating with an enlarged eye 7. Secured upon the inner face of this vertical portion of the L-shaped member 5 is a yarn guard member 8. his member 8 is provided with an eye 9 alining with the eye 7 and is also provided with a wall 10 which communicates with the center of the eye 9 and which is arranged at a different inclination to that of the slot 601: the member 5 so as to effectively prevent the yarn from being drawn rearwardly through the said slot 6.

The outer face of the side of the shuttle 1 is provided with a suitable recess communieating with the cut away portion 4 of'the saidshuttle. This recess is adapted for the.

reception of. a second guard member designated by the numeral 11. This member 11 is preferably constructed of a guide member and a uard membereach provided with a semi-'cy indricalopeningcomprising an eye 12 and overlying finger portions 13 arranged adjacent each other. The inner finger portion 13 is cut away as at 14 .to allow for the entrance of the thread tov the eye 12 and the said portion has its ed e adjacent the cut awayportion 14: arrange at a suit able curve or an 'le so as to rovide for the free passage oft e yarn to t' e said eye 12. When it is desired to thread the yarn carried by the bobbin 2 it is merely necessary to draw a portion of thethread from thebobbin and pass the same within the vertical slit 3 of the bobbin' andwhen the same has been drawn downwardly and rearwardly it will be readily assed within the eyes 7 and 12 of the gui e members 5 and 11. The

plates of these members have their outer edges slightly spaced apart which provides for the ready assage of the yarn to the e es of the mem ers. It is to be understood t at each of the guide members-have their body portions provided with suitable openings adapted for the reception of screws or the like and through the medium of which the said members are secured in position upon the bobbin. 7

Having thus fully described the inven tion what is claimed as new is: I

The combination with a shuttle provided with, a bobbin having yarn thereon, said shuttle having-its forward solid ortion provided with a horizontal slit an a vertical slit communicating therewith, the outer face of the shuttle being provided with a de ression communicating with the horizonta slit, yarn threading members, one of said yarn threading members being-located transverse to the throat of the shuttle, the second yarn threading member being located within the horizontal depression provided upon the side of the shuttle and communicating with the horizontal slit thereof, each of said members In testimon whereof I aflix my signature comprisiglig a gllllid mad he ardhmenlifber in presence 0 two witnesses.

connecte to et er an 'avlng t eir orward ends slightly spaced away fromeeach- NAPOLEON GABON 5 other and said members being provided with Witnesses:
