Abstract
A device for securing cloth-forming parts to the sley (1) of a loom comprises, to receive fixing screws (4), a clamping element (51, 52) in the form of a slide block. The clamping element bears directly on the sley on only one side of a plane which extends parallel to sley length and through the axes of the screws. Consequently, the securing elements (4, 51, 52) can be introduced preassembled into the corresponding groove (15) in the sley (1), so that assembly is rapid. Depending on the construction of the device it has the advantage over known solutions of the problems of simpler fabrications and low mass of the sley holder.
Claims7
A loom comprising a sley having a groove therein provided with an open mouth, an inner end opposite said mouth, and a wall portion inwardly of said mouth facing toward said inner end;
- a part adapted to be disposed on said sley outwardly of said mouth of said groove in position to bear on said sley;
- a rotatable screw operably connected to said part and extending into said groove;
- and a clamping element connected to said screw and adapted to be inserted through said mouth into said groove and having its only clamping surface portions located on only one side of a plane which extends through the screw axis parallel to the length of the sley, said clamping surface bearing outwardly on said wall portion of said groove upon rotation of said screw to draw said clamping element toward said part.
A device for securing to a loom sley having a longitudinal groove therein a part extending exteriorly of said groove, said device comprising at least one clamping element adapted to be disposed in said groove in the sley, and a screw operably connecting said clamping element to said part to be secured to said sley so that said part and said clamping element can be pulled axially toward one another by rotation of said screw, said clamping element having thereon only one clamping surface which clamping surface is located on one side of a plane which extends through the screw axis parallel to sley length and bears directly on the sley against the pull of said screw.
A loom comprising a sley having a groove therein provided with an open mouth, an inner end opposite said mouth, and a wall portion inwardly of said mouth facing toward said inner end;
- a clamping element adapted to be inserted through said mouth into said groove and having a surface for bearing outwardly on said wall portion of said groove;
- a part adapted to be disposed on said sley outwardly of said mouth of said groove in position to bear on said sley in a direction having a component extending oppositely with respect to the direction in which said surface of said clamping element bears against said wall portion of said groove;
- and means adjustably connecting said part to said clamping element and being operable to draw said clamping element toward said part.
