Abstract
An electro-magnetic unit for controlling the needles associated with the dobbies and other weaving mechanisms of a loom which includes a series of cassettes each containing electro-magnets for attracting blades associated with springs and stops to thereby define two stable positions for controlling the reciprocal movement of the needles and wherein the needles reciprocate through calibrated holes in a lower boss centered in an opening in the bottom of a box in which the cassettes are mounted.
Claims7
In an electro-magnetic unit for controlling dobbies and other weaving mechanisms of the type including a plurality of electro-magnetics for controlling the reciprocal movement of needles of a control device, and which control device includes pushers and knives for effecting displacement of actuation levers, and wherein each of the electro-magnets includes a coil provided with a core for attracting a blade which forms a stop for limiting the reciprocal movement of one of the needles, the improvement comprising, a plurality of flat cassettes mounted side-by-side within a box, the electro-magnets being mounted within said cassettes, each of said cassettes including inner stop members for limiting the lateral displacement of a corresponding blade between two stable positions, and at least one calibrated hole through which a needle is reciprocally moved.
In an electro-magnetic unit for controlling dobbies and other weaving mechanisms, of the type including at least a pair of electro-magnets for controlling a pair of reciprocally movable needles of a control device for effecting displacement of actuating levers in a weaving loom and wherein each of the electro-magnets includes a coil provided with a core for attracting a pair of spaced blades which blades function to form stops for limiting the reciprocal movement of the needles, the improvement comprising, at least one cassette in which said electro-magnets are mounted, said at least one cassette including a central stop member and a pair of spaced side stop members, each of said blades being disposed between said central stop members and one of said side stop members so that said blades are movable between two stable positions defined by said central stop member and said side stop members, and a pair of spaced calibrated holes through which said needles are reciprocally moved.
