Abstract
A reed (16) including multiple slats (20), which are arranged in a transverse direction (Q) at a distance from one another is disclosed. Each slat (20) extends from an upper end (21) to a lower end (22). The upper ends (21) are connected by an adhesive bond to two upper plate parts (32) of an upper holding shaft (23). The lower ends (22) of the slats (20) are connected by an adhesive bond to two lower plate parts (43) of a lower holding shaft (24). The plate parts (32, 43) are each produced from a fiber-reinforced composite material. The entire upper holding shaft (23) and the entire lower holding shaft (24) preferably are made of parts produced from a fiber-reinforced composite material.
Claims15
A reed (16), comprising:
- multiple slats (20) that extend in an extension direction (R) between a top end (21) and an opposite bottom end (22) and that extend in a longitudinal direction (L) orthogonal to the extension direction (R) between front and back edges, wherein the slats (20) are spaced apart with respect to one another in a transverse direction (Q) that is oriented orthogonal to the extension direction (R) and the longitudinal direction (L);
- wherein the top end (21) of each slat (20) is positioned in a top holding shaft (23) and wherein the bottom end (22) of each slat (20) is positioned in a bottom holding shaft (24), wherein gaps are formed between the front and back edges of the top end of each slat and the top holding shaft and between the front and back edges of the bottom end of each slat and the bottom holding shaft such that the front and back edges of the top and bottom ends of each slat are spaced from the respective top and bottom holding shafts, wherein the gaps are filled with an adhesive (K) to bond the top and bottom ends of each slat to the respective top and bottom holding shafts;
- wherein each of the top and bottom holding shafts (23, 24) comprise two plate parts (32, 43) extending in the transverse direction (Q) that are arranged opposite each other in the longitudinal direction (L) and that are spaced from the respective front and back edges of the top and bottom ends (21, 22) of the slats by the adhesive-filled gaps;
- wherein each of the plate parts (32, 43) are made of a fiber-reinforced composite material.
