Abstract
A device for coupling heddle frames to rod or cable transmission elements of a mechanism for forming the shed in a weaving loom wherein a female mortise member includes a slot having a pair of opposing arms on either side thereof which shot is traversed by the transmission elements which transmission elements pass through a male tenon member which is adjustably fixed thereto with the aid of a locking mechanism and which male tenon member interengages the female mortise member.
Claims13
A coupling device for connecting the uprights of a heddle frame to a motion transmission element in a weaving loom wherein the uprights are disposed along a plane and the motion transmission element includes an elongated axis comprising, a male tenon member and a female mortise member, one of said members being connected to the upright of the heddle frame and the other of said members being connected to the motion transmission element, said one of said members including an open slot along the plane of the upright to form at least one pair of opposing and outwardly extending arm elements, said other of said members being selectively seated between said arm elements so that the axis of the motion transmission element passes through said slot and intermediate said arm elements whereby forces distributed along the axis of the motion transmission element are distributed to said members to thereby prevent shifting of said said members with respect to one another.
