  • Shuttle returner and improved body therefor
    Patent number: 4880037
    Abstract: An improved body member for a shuttle returner used in a projectile loom. Embedded within the relatively elastic body member is a relatively inelastic reinforcing element which takes up tensile force applied to the body member, thereby strengthening the body member. The reinforcing element is substantially flexible in response to compressive force applied to the body member, so that the elasticity of the body member in compression is not reduced by inclusion of the reinforcing element.
