Reed and reed dent for weaving machines

A reed dent (61, 71, 81) for a reed (60, 72, 80) comprising an upper segment mountable in an upper profiled bar (8, 82) and a lower segment mountable in a lower profiled bar (62, 76, 84), characterized in that the lower segment has at least in its segment or sub-segment projecting from the lower profiled bar (62, 76, 83) a width of about 6 mm and wherein the upper segment's width is about 4 mm;

• and wherein the lower segment (68, 73) has a tapering width in its sub-segment mountable in said lower profiled bar (62, 76, 83).

A reed comprising a plurality of juxtaposed reed dents (61, 71, 81) having ends adapted to be held in a lower profiled bar (62, 76, 83) securable to a batten beam (12) and in an upper profiled bar (8, 82), wherein the reed dents (61,71, 81) each have a tapered width in a lower segment thereof where it is adapted to enter a lower profiled bar.

A reed dent (61, 71, 81) for a reed (60, 72, 80) comprising an upper segment mountable in an upper profiled bar (8, 82) and a lower segment mountable in a lower profiled bar (62, 76, 83), the lower segment (68, 73) having a tapering width in a sub-segment adapted to be insertable in a lower profiled bar (62, 76, 83).

A reed comprising a plurality of juxtaposed reed dents (61,71,81) having ends held in a lower profiled bar (62,76,83) securable to a batten beam (12) and in an upper profiled bar (82), the reed dents having a tapered width in a segment at which the reed dents enter the lower profiled bar, wherein the inside cross-section of the lower profiled bar matches said tapered width.

A reed comprising a plurality of juxtaposed reed dents (21, 37, 41, 45, 50) having opposed ends held in a lower profiled bar (22) securable to a batten beam (12) and in an upper profiled bar (8);

• said reed dents each having a length between said ends and having a width between front and rear edges thereof of about 6 mm at least in a lower segment (14) projecting from the lower profiled bar and of about 4 mm in an upper segment thereof;
• said reed dents each further comprising a filling guide channel (5) in a middle segment (18), said channel defined by a transverse substantially U-shaped recess, and a beatup edge (31) provided in a bottom region of the recess;
• the front edges of the lower segment and the upper segment of each reed dent configured so they are aligned at least approximately with said beatup edge, the rear edge of each reed dent configured and located with respect to the front edge of the respective reed dent so as to define said 4 mm and 6 mm widths along the length of each reed dent.

A reed dent (21, 37, 41, 45, 50) for a reed (20) comprising an upper segment (16) including a portion mountable in an upper profiled bar (8) and a lower segment (14) including a portion mountable in a lower profiled bar (22);

• said reed dent having a length between opposed ends thereof, and having a width between front and rear edges thereof of about 6 mm at least in a portion of the lower segment that normally would project from a lower profiled bar when said portion of the lower segment of the dent is mounted in such bar, and of about 4 mm in the upper segment thereof;
• said reed dent further comprising a filling guide channel (5) in a middle segment (18) thereof defined by a transverse substantially U-shaped recess, and a beatup edge (31) provided in a bottom region of the recess;
• the front edges of the lower segment and the upper segment of the reed dent configured so they are aligned at least approximately with said beatup edge, the rear edge of the reed dent configured and located with respect to the front edge therof so as to define said 4 mm and 6 mm widths.
