Abstract
A member for guiding harness cords of a weaving loom harness of Jacquard type which is provided with at least two plates with holes for passage of the cords and which plates are separated by a space adapted to be supplied with gas under pressure. The holes constitute orifices for exhaust of the gas with respect to the space. The guiding members makes it possible to cool the harness cords and to clean the holes through which the harness cords pass.

A guiding member for guiding harness cords of a harness of a weaving loom of Jacquard type, the guiding member being provided with holes for passage of said cords, wherein said holes are arranged in such a manner that at least one harness cord passes through two spaced holes which communicate with a space therebetween which is placed under excess pressure by supply from a source of pressurized gas, and said holes constituting orifices for exhaust of the gas from said space.
A method of guiding the harness cords of a harness of a weaving loom of Jacquard type, comprising the steps of:
- causing the harness cords to pass through a guiding member provided with at least two spaced plates in which holes are made for passage of the cords and between which is defined a substantially closed space, and
- supplying the space with gas under pressure, with the result that the gas escapes from the space through the holes.
