Abstract
A detachable connection arrangement is disclosed which comprises a lifter element of a harness lever arrangement wherein at the free end of the lifter element a quadratic or square connection block is rotatable upon a pin or journal and is detachably inserted into a substantially C-shaped claw member at the loom harness. Pin members which are resiliently supported in the claw member engage into recesses at counter surfaces of the connection block and thus form a snap closure. These measures provide a connection arrangement which satisfies all of the requirements placed thereon, especially as concerns simple fabrication thereof, easy connection or release and complete force transmission practically free of wear.
Claims7
A detachable connection arrangement between a harness and a harness lever arrangement of a shed forming device of a loom, comprising:
- a lifter means hingedly connected with the harness lever arrangement;
- a coupling element supported at an end of said lifter means located at the region of the harness;
- a counter coupling element provided at the harness with which form-lockingly engages said coupling element;
- said coupling element comprises a connection block having at least two substantially parallel surfaces;
- means for supporting said connection block at the lifter means;
- said counter coupling element comprising a substantially C-shaped claw member fixedly connected with the harness;
- said claw member having inner leg surfaces defining support surfaces for the connection block;
- resiliently-biased latching means provided for said claw member;
- and
- said resiliently-biased latching means releasably retaining the connection block in the claw member and being effective in a predetermined direction of force application.
