Abstract
A connector for a drawing mechanism including at least one tubular connecting rod of flattened cross section for connecting the connecting rod to a rocking lever of a heddle mechanism wherein the connector includes two cheeks adapted to be disposed on opposite sides of the lever and where at least two generally parallel pins include first ends which are welded to inner faces of the cheeks. The pins include second ends adapted to be connected within the connecting rod and which second ends are spaced from the first ends by a deformable portion of each pin.
Claims12
A connector for a drawing mechanism interposed between a weaving system and heddle frames of a weaving loom and wherein the drawing mechanism includes at least one tubular connecting rod of flattened cross-section which is adapted to be coupled to at least one rocking connection lever, the connector comprising;
- two cheeks adapted to be disposed on either side of the lever and articulated on the lever, and at least one part adapted to penetrate and be secured in one end of the connecting rod, said at least one part adapted to penetrate being formed by two substantially parallel pins, each pin including a first end disposed between said two cheeks and welded on opposing faces of said two cheeks, and each pin including a second end adapted to be secured within the connecting rod and which second ends are spaced from said first ends by a deformable part which enables a distance separating said second ends of said pins, inside the connecting rod, to be adjusted.
A weaving loom comprising;
- a weaving system connected to at least one heddle frame by way of a drawing mechanism, said at least one heddle frame being connected to a rocking lever, said drawing mechanism including at least one tubular connecting rod of flattened cross-section, a connector for connecting said rocking lever to said at least one tubular connecting rod, said connector including two cheeks, means for connecting said two cheeks on opposite sides of said rocking lever, at least two parallel pins welded to inner faces of each of said cheeks and having second ends extending outwardly therefrom, each of said second ends extending within said at least one tubular connecting rod and being spaced from said first ends by a deformable portion, and fastening means for securing said second ends of each of said pins within said at least one tubular connecting rod for adjusting a spacing between said second ends within said tubular connecting rod.
