Thread clamp, in particular for a weaving machine, which at least consists of an actual clamp (2) with at least two clamping parts (34) between which a thread (5) can be clamped, as well as of actuation means (6) for moving said clamping parts (3-4) in mutual respect between at least two positions, a closed position, whereby the clamping parts (3-4) are pushed towards each other, and an open position whereby the clamping parts (3-4) are situated at a distance from each other, respectively, characterized in that said actuation means (6) comprise at least a pneumatically actuatable part (7) for bringing the clamp (2) into at least one of said two positions, which part can be actuated by means of a negative pressure, more particularly vacuum, fed thereto.
Thread clamp, in particular for a weaving machine, which at least consists of an actual clamp (2) with at least two clamping parts (3-4) between which a thread (5) can be clamped, as well as of actuation means (6) for moving said clamping parts (3-4) in mutual respect between at least two positions, a closed position, whereby the clamping parts (3-4) are pushed towards each other, and an open position whereby the clamping parts (3-4) are situated at a distance from each other, respectively, characterized in that said actuation means (6) comprise at least a pneumatically actuatable part (7) for bringing the clamp (2) into at least one of said two positions, which part can be actuated by means of a negative pressure, more particularly vacuum, fed thereto.
Thread clamp according to any of the preceding claims, characterized in that said actuation means (6) are designed such that the displacement is effected exclusively in a pneumatic manner.
Thread clamp according to any of the preceding claims, characterized in that the actuatable part (7) consists of at least one small movable piston (8), the displacement of which controls the opening or closing of the clamp (2).
Weaving machine, characterized in that it comprises at least one thread clamp (1-1A-1B), as described in the preceding claims.
