ABSTRACT:
A fly shuttle loom shuttle box is provided with a solid elastomer binder attached at both ends in place of a conventional pivoted, rigid-backed binder. In one modification there is attached to the end of the binder a pivoted extension which permits use of dagger fingers in the normal position on a loom. The greater force exerted by the binder results in improved shuttle deceleration when it enters the shuttle box. This also eliminates picker stick over throw when accelerating the shuttle, which permits, when in proper adjustment, in some cases elimination of picker stick loom side bumper and check strap without, of course, eliminating their useful functions. As there is a considerable amount of heat developed by the flexing of the solid elastomer, it is desirable to provide for ventilation in the form of a few relatively large holes in the elastomer near its center and adjacent to the leather face of the binder.
