Abstract
A quick connect coupling for connecting at least one funicular element with respect to the end of a cord, particularly for those of a harness of a weaving loom, to a cord of shed-forming device of the loom, which includes an insert element associated with the cord of the shed-forming device which has at least one crosspiece to which the cord is attached and a bar located below the crosspiece. A clamp is provided for receiving the insert and has two branch elements which are secured to at least one funicular element. The branch elements have hooked free ends which are elastically articulated relative to one another toward the geometrical axis of symmetry of the clamp.
Claims12
A quick connect coupling for connecting at least one funicular element with respect to an end of a harness cord of a weaving loom to a cord of a shed-forming device of the loom, wherein the coupling comprises;
- an insert element having a pair of opposing members which are connected by at least one cross-piece to which the cord of the shed-forming device may be attached and by a bar oriented in spaced relationship to said cross-piece, a clamp having two branch elements extending from a base to which at least one funicular element of the harness cord may be secured, said branch elements having opposing hooked free ends opposite said base, a flexible joint connecting said branch elements in spaced relationship from said hooked free ends, said hooked free ends being pivotable at said joint, and said branch elements having elastically yieldable intermediate portions between said base and said joint, whereby force applied to urge said intermediate portions towards one another will cause said opposing hooked ends to separate relative to one another to thereby permit the relative placement of said insert element therebetween.
A quick connect coupling for connecting at least one element to another comprising;
- an insert element having a pair of opposing members which are connected by at least one cross-piece to which an element may be attached and by a bar oriented in spaced relationship to said cross-piece, a clamp having two branch elements extending from a base to which another element may be secured, said branch elements having opposing hooked free ends opposite said base, a flexible joint connecting said branch elements in spaced relationship from said hooked free ends, said hooked free ends being pivotable at said joint, and said branch elements having elastically yieldable intermediate portions between said base and said joint, whereby force applied to urge said intermediate portions towards one another will cause said opposing hooked ends to separate relative to one another to thereby permit the relative placement of said insert element therebetween.
