Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
160 words
A loom shuttle binder comprising a binder body portion formed in its entirety from a multiplicity of carefully selected and accurately preweighed thin hardwood veneer strips each having a thickness in the range of 1-5 mm., said thin veneer strips stacked so that their major area surfaces are in contacting superposed relationship and arranged normal to the side face of the shuttle bInder which is exposed to shuttle impact during use, said thin veneer strips being adhesively bonded with resin over their entire contacting faces and compressed to form a substantially homogenous mass of uniform density in the range of 0.95-1.4 kg/cdm over the entire binder body portion, whereby said entire body portion has imparted to it a closely controlled predetermined weight and density substantially in excess of the normal density of the natural hardwood employed, thus enabling the densified wood binder to be employed on a loom without any of the usual metallic and plastic strengthening and wear-resisting attachments.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
