Abstract
A heddle (14) of the invention is distinguished by end eyelets (15, 16) of reduced size, with which heddle support rails (6, 7) of reduced cross section are associated. The axial play of the heddles on the heddle support rails (6, 7) is limited to from 0.5 mm to 1.5 mm. The lateral play is in the range of 0.2 mm to 0.5 mm. This system formed of heddle support rails and heddles is especially suitable for particularly rigid heddle shafts for power looms with an extremely high operating speed.
Claims11
A weaving heddle (14) for equipping heddle shafts (1),
- having at least one end eyelet (15, 16), which has a back stem (23) that connects a head region (24) to a root region (21), wherein a first and second arm (25, 26), spaced apart from the back stem (23), extends away from the head region (24) and root region (21), respectively,
- characterized in that
- between the head region (24) and the root region (21), a free space is embodied, with a height (H2), which amounts at most to 17.5 mm, to be measured parallel to the back stem (23).
A support rail for heddles of one of the foregoing claims, having an elongated straight body, whose cross section has a height (H) of at most 16 mm and a breadth (B) of at most 1.5 mm.
