Accessories:

shuttle channel safety device


Explanation:
would seem to make sense from your description and from my (inherited) knowledge of textile things. Like in a weaving machine, the shuttle (Schiffli) shoots thru a channel and I assume in this case there is some safety device to make sure that the shuttle does not jump out
