Halacha 1א׳

כָּל כְּלֵי הָאוֹרֵג וַחֲבָלָיו וְקָנִים שֶׁלּוֹ מֻתָּר לְטַלְטְלָן כִּכְלִי שֶׁמְּלַאכְתּוֹ לְאִסּוּר חוּץ מִכֹּבֶד הָעֶלְיוֹן וְכֹבֶד הַתַּחְתּוֹן לְפִי שֶׁאֵין נִטָּלִין מִפְּנֵי שֶׁהֵן תְּקוּעִין. וְכֵן הָעַמּוּדִים שֶׁל אוֹרֵג אָסוּר לְטַלְטְלָן שֶׁמָּא יְתַקֵּן הַגֻּמּוֹת שֶׁלָּהֶן. וּשְׁאָר כְּלֵי הָאוֹרֵג מֻתָּרִין:

It is permissible to move all of the weaver’s tools, ropes and reeds like a vessel the use of which is for forbidden work—except for the upper beam and the lower beam, on account of their not being moved because they are attached. Likewise is it forbidden to move the weaver's posts, lest he fixes (fills in) their holes. But the rest of the weaver's tools are permissible.

Halacha 2ב׳

מִכְבָּדוֹת שֶׁל תְּמָרָה וְכַיּוֹצֵא בָּהֶן שֶׁמְּכַבְּדִין בָּהֶן אֶת הַקַּרְקַע הֲרֵי הֵן כִּכְלִי שֶׁמְּלַאכְתּוֹ לְהֶתֵּר שֶׁהֲרֵי מֻתָּר לְכַבֵּד בְּשַׁבָּת. לְבֵנִים שֶׁנִּשְׁאֲרוּ מִן הַבִּנְיָן הֲרֵי הֵן כִּכְלִי שֶׁמְּלַאכְתּוֹ לְהֶתֵּר מִפְּנֵי שֶׁרְאוּיִין לְהָסֵב עֲלֵיהֶן שֶׁהֲרֵי שָׁפִין אוֹתָן וּמְתַקְּנִין אוֹתָן. וְאִם צָבַר אוֹתָן הֲרֵי הִקְצָם וְאָסוּר לְטַלְטְלָם:

Brooms of palms, and that that which is similar to them, with which we broom floors are surely like a vessel the use of which is for permissible work —as it is surely permissible to broom on Shabbat. Bricks that were left over from building are surely like a vessel the use of which is for permissible work, since they are fit to sit upon—as we surely rub them down and arrange them. But if one gathered them, he surely designated them away; so it is forbidden to move them.

Halacha 3ג׳

חֶרֶס קְטַנָּה מֻתָּר לְטַלְטְלָהּ אֲפִלּוּ בִּרְשׁוּת הָרַבִּים הוֹאִיל וּרְאוּיָה הִיא בְּחָצֵר לְכַסּוֹת בָּהּ פִּי כְּלִי קָטָן. מְגוּפַת חָבִית שֶׁנִּתְכַּתְתָּה הִיא וּשְׁבָרֶיהָ מֻתָּר לְטַלְטְלָהּ וְאִם זְרָקָהּ לָאַשְׁפָּה מִבְּעוֹד יוֹם אָסוּר לְטַלְטְלָהּ. כְּלִי שֶׁנִּתְרוֹעֵעַ לֹא יִתְלֹשׁ מִמֶּנּוּ חֶרֶס לְכַסּוֹת בּוֹ אוֹ לִסְמֹךְ בּוֹ:

It is permissible to move a small piece of clay, even in a pubic domain—as it is fit [for use] in a courtyard, to cover the mouth of a small vessel with it. It is permissible to move a crushed barrel stopper and its shards. But if he threw it into the dumping ground when it was still day (before Shabbat), it is forbidden to move it. It is forbidden to remove [a piece] from a vessel that is falling apart to cover or support [something] with it.
