TO ALL WHOM IT'MAYv GONGERN':

Be it known that I, ABRAM GLOW, ol' Port Byron, in the county of Cayuga, and State of/New York, have I invented a. new and improved Thread-Guide for Filling Shuttles; and I do hereby ydeclare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable those skilled inthe art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in whichy Figure 1 is a. face view of my invention, and I Figure 2 is 'av section of the same, taken in the line a: :c in g. 1. Figure 3 is a perspective view of the shuttle. Similar letters of reference indicate like parts. This invention relates to a new and improved method of filling tatting-shuttles; and the invention consists` in a slotted metal disk, so constructed as to receive the points of one side oftiho shuttle, and' then present a suitable face for guiding the thread between the points of the shuttle, as hereinafter more fully explained.

v- In the accompanying drawings, A is a disk, of 'metal or other. suitable material, having 'a slot, a, and an L-shaped slot, b b', and also two raised parts, c clkwhich are struck up, so as to cover the point's of theshuttle e. as shown in iig. 2, when said points have been passed through vthe slots a b.- T-wo points,ff, are also cutout in the disk and bent backward, to serve as handles for holding the device when in use.

In placing the shuttle in 4the disk, one of its points is first introduced under the raised part e, and the oppositepoint is then placed beh-ind the raised part d and in the .slot b b. i

When the shuttle is placed in the disk, as seen in iig. 2, the thread canbe wound on the shuttle with great rapidity, by carrying the thread so that it will follow the face 7L h of the disk or guide. I

The device is manufactured at a very light cost, it being stamped or struck out of thin sheet metal, and by its aid the filling of the shuttles is greatly facilitated. i

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

As an article of manufacture, the guide-plate A, constructed and slotted as herein shown and described.

and for the purpose set forth'.

p ABRAM GLOW.
