A device for guiding the knife-supporting beams in a jacquard machine is provided. The device is for rectilinear guiding of a body (1) of a shed-forming device that can be driven in a back and forth movement. The device has a rod mechanism (2, 3, 4) of which a first (2) and a second rod (3) are rotatably connected to respectively the aforesaid body (1) and a fixed part (11). This rod mechanism is provided to exert a rectilinear movement on the joint (5) between the body (1) and the first rod (2) while driving the body (1). The joint (5) between the first rod (2) and the body (1) moves for that purpose preferably in a straight line through the joint (7) between the second rod (3) and the fixed part (11). This device is especially utilized as a shed-forming device of a machine of the Jacquard type for the rectilinear guiding of knife-supporting beams. Such a rectilinear guide has the advantage that it can be implemented with only hinge points that require no maintenance.
Device for the rectilinear guiding of a body (1) of a shed-forming device that can be driven in a to and fro movement, characterized in that the device comprises a rod mechanism (2, 3, 4) of which a first (2) and a second rod (3) are rotatably connected to respectively the aforesaid body (1) and a fixed part (11), and that this rod mechanism (2, 3, 4) is provided in order to exert a rectilinear movement on the joint (5) between the body (1) and the first rod (2) in the course of driving the body (1).
