Battan

Japanese: バッタン

The flying shuttle device was invented by the British J. Kay in 1733. It was introduced to Japan around 1873 along with the Jacquard. There are shuttle boxes on both sides of the reed, and when a string is pulled to flick the shuttle, it passes through the warp thread shed and enters the box at the other end. Until then, the shuttle was thrown by hand, but the mechanization of the shuttle throw with this device doubled weaving efficiency and made it possible to weave wide fabrics. The word originates from the French word battan, meaning "to hit."

Japanese:

1733年英国のJ.ケイが発明した飛杼(とびひ)装置。日本には1873年ころにジャカードとともに導入された。筬(おさ)の両側に杼箱があり，この中に入れた杼をひもを引いて弾き飛ばすと，杼は経(たて)糸の杼口を通って他端の箱に入る。それまでは手で杼を投げたが，この装置による杼投げの機械化で製織能率は倍加され，広幅物の製織も可能となった。語源は〈打つ〉という意味のフランス語battan。
