It's a lever-like device that receives motion from the picking tappet and transmits it to the picker, which in turn strikes the shuttle. There are two main types of picking mechanisms in power looms: 1. Overpick Mechanism: * The picker stick is located above the shuttle trajectory. * It is considered more efficient and less power-consuming. * It is commonly used in modern power looms. 2. Underpick Mechanism: * The picker stick is located below the shuttle trajectory. * It is considered less efficient and more power-consuming. * It is commonly used in older power looms. Working of the Picker Stick: * Picking Tappet Rotation: The picking tappet, driven by the bottom shaft, rotates. * Tappet Nose Strikes Cone: The nose of the picking tappet strikes a cone-shaped antifriction roller on the picking shaft. * Picking Shaft Rotation: This impact causes the picking shaft to rotate. * Picker Stick Movement: The picker stick, attached to the picking shaft, swings horizontally across the loom. * Picker Movement: The picking strap, connected to the picker stick, transmits the motion to the picker. * Shuttle Propulsion: The picker strikes the shuttle, propelling it across the warp shed. The picker stick plays a vital role in the efficient and smooth operation of power looms, ensuring the timely and accurate insertion of weft yarn into the warp shed
