    This document summarizes an experiment to study the picking mechanism of a shuttle loom. The picking mechanism passes the weft thread through the shed using a shuttle. There are two main types of picking motions - over pick and under pick. The experiment focuses on the side lever under pick motion. Key components include the side lever, picking shoe, picking stick, and picker. Settings like the stroke length are adjusted based on the loom width. Test results show the relationship between reed space and stroke length. Review questions ask about picking mechanism advantages, under pick demerits, and the purpose of a buffer.

    TO STUDY THE POWER TRANSFER IN THE PICKING SYSTEM OF


    SHUTTLE WEAVING LOOM
    PERFORMANCE OBJECT:
    Upon successful completion of this experiment, the student will be able to:
    i)
    ii)

    Understand working of various picking mechanism.


    Learn the setting of under pick motion.

    EQUIPMENT / MACHINES:
    Under picking loom mechanism on conventional shuttle loom.

    DISCUSSION / THEORY:
    The picking mechanism passes weft thread form one selvedge of the fabric to the
    other through the shed by means of shuttle, a projectile, a rapier, a needle, and air-jet or a
    water-jet. The inserted weft thread is known as pick. There are different methods of
    carrying the weft through the shed. On the conventional shuttle loom wind the weft yarn on
    to a pirn and insert this pirn in to a wooden shuttle. Then the shuttle is pushed through the
    wrap shed form one shuttle box to the other. As the shuttle carries the weft pirn through the
    warp shed. The interlacing of these picks with the warp ends results in the formation of a
    cloth. There are two types of picking motion in conventional shuttle loom.
    a. Over pick motion
    b. Under pick motion

    PROCEDURE / METHOD
    In our laboratory we have done practical on side lever under pick motion on shuttle
    loom as we know there are two types of under pick motion; cone lever pick and side lever
    pick. The side lever pick is simplest used for all types of fabric. All parts are fitted outside of
    the loom frame, so easy to maintain the motion comprises of the following part:
    1.
    2.
    3.
    4.

    A wooden side lever.


    A picking shoe fixed on the side lever.
    A wooden picking stick fixed to iron shoe.
    The picker is loose on the picking stick and guided between the bottom grooves of
    the shuttle box.
    5. A bowl strikes down the side as it revolve with the striking device fixed to the bottom
    shaft.
    6. A spring attach to the bottom of the iron shoe returns picking stick after each forward
    strike.
    Settings of side lever under pick motion
    i.

    Picking starts when the slay is about 60mm back from the front dead center and the
    picking bowl comes in contact with the nose.
    ii. Stroke i.e. movement of the picker, when the loom is rotated by hands depands upon
    the width of the loom. Picking motion of the off side of the loom given about 5 cm
    more movement than to the starting handle side.
    iii.
    Picking stick return spring should be sufficient to bring it back after picking.
