Abstract: A loomside mounted picker stick bumper assembly for looms of the fly shuttle type having a fixed resilient bumper member with a floating or slidably movable picker stick braking element operatively associated therewith for stopping the picker stick at the end of its picking stroke. The bumper assembly includes guide members in frictional contact with the braking element for controlling the direction of its sliding movement when engaged by the picker stick and during its return to its initial position by the resilient bumper.
