Abstract
The gripper shuttle is constructed of three parts, namely, a metal inner part, a plastics sleeve disposed about the metal inner part, and a yarn clamp having resilient arms within the inner part for engaging a yarn. The metal inner part may be formed with an I-beam cross section or may be of a rectangular cross section with or without a strengthening partition. The metal inner part lends strength to the shuttle, particularly for braking purposes while the plastics sleeve provides a sliding surface for picking.
