Abstract
A motive assembly for moving a plurality of warp yarns (32) in a loom between upper and lower shed positions, the motive assembly including a plurality of selectively controllable ultrasonic cyclic motors (10), each of which is drivingly connected to one or a group of said warp yarns (32) for moving the warp yarn(s) (32) between upper and lower shed positions.
Claims15
A motive assembly for moving a plurality of warp yarns in a loom between upper and lower shed positions, the motive assembly including a plurality of selectively controllable ultrasonic cyclic motors, each of which is drivingly connected to at least one of said warp yarns for moving said at least one warp yarn between upper and lower shed positions, and a rigid elongate heald rod connected to each of said warp yarns, each heald rod being associated with and driven by at least one of said ultrasonic motors.
A jacquard machine for controlling a plurality of warp yarns in a loom including a motive assembly for moving a plurality of warp yarns between upper and lower shed positions, said motive assembly including a plurality of selectively controllable ultrasonic cyclic motors each of which is drivingly connected to at least one of said plurality of warp yarns for moving said at least one warp yarn between upper and lower shed positions and a rigid elongate heald rod connected to each of said warp yarns, each heald rod being associated with and driven by at least one of said ultrasonic motors.
A loom for weaving a plurality of warp yarns including a moving assembly for moving a plurality of warp yarns in a loom between upper and lower shed positions, the motive assembly including a plurality of selectively controllable ultrasonic cyclic motors, each of which is drivingly connected to at least one of said warp yarns for moving said at least one warp yarn between upper and lower shed positions and a rigid elongate heald rod connected to each of said warp yarns, each heald rod being associated with and driven by at least one of said ultrasonic motors.
