SHUTTLEHOLDER ATTACHMENT FOR LOOiVIS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 380,736, dated April 10, 1888.

ApplicationiledSeptemherQB.i887. Serial No.250A84. (No model.) v

To aJZZ whom, it may coi/werft:

Beit known that I, WILLIAEI WATTIE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Vorces ter, in the county of Vvorcester and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in ShuttleHolder Attachments for Looms; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact in the loom; and the object of my invention is to provide on a loom a simple and readily-accessible receptacle for the extra shuttles, which are kept in readiness to be put in the loom when the filling runs out.

Referring to the drawings, Figure 1 is a rear elevation of a portion of a loom with Iny invention applied thereto. Fig. 2 is asection on line X X, Fig. 1, looking in the direction of the arrow, same figure; and Fig. 3 is a perspective view ofthe shuttle-holder attachment and a supplementary attachment for holding the' bobbins detached from the loom.

In the accompanying drawings, lis the loomside, 2 the crank-shaft, 3 the bottom shaft, 4t the lay, and 5, Fig. 1, the projecting drop-box lay end, ofan ordinaryloom. The part marked 6 is a stand bolted to the loom side, which carries on the inside a series of shelves, 7, set at such a distance apart that the shuttles 18, Fig. 2, used on the loom will pass freely between them. Formed on the edges of the shelves 7 are flanges 8 and 9, a sufficient distance apart to admit a shuttle between them and high enough to prevent a shuttle being taken side- Wise from the shelves. The end of each shelf 7 toward the back of the loom :is provided with a flange, 10, in which is set, preferably, a small Wood or leather disk, 11, against which the tip of the shuttle rests when on the shelf. The shelves 7 are inclined toward the back, so that gravity prevents the jar of the loom from working the shuttles oiI the shelves.

In order to retain the shuttle on the top shelf, the upper end of the stand 6 is turned inward and projects over the shuttle. Fastened also to the stand 6 in Fig. 1 is asupplementary at tachrn'ent consisting of a box, 12, whichpro jects outward' any distance not exceeding that of the lay end 5, and is stayed by the brace 13, resting against the 1oom-side. The width of the box is about the same as the length of the cops used, and the depth as desired.

In Fig. 1 the box 12 is represented with di visions 14, separating the different colors of cops.

When the filling to be used is Wound on bobbins, instead of cop-tubes, I prefer to use azrack, 15, Figg, provided with pins 16 extending up therefrom for the reception of the bobbins 17, in lieu of the box 12. (Shown in Figs. 1 and 2, and above described.)

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination, with a loom-side, of the stand 6,bolted thereto, and a series of inclined stationary shelves, 7, having side flanges and an end liange supported on said stand for furnishing a supplementary attachment for the reception of extra shuttles, substantially as shown and described.

VILLIAM WATTIE.
