Jacquard machine

Abstract

Each lifter (2) has a displacement member (4) which can be connected to at least one directable thread (18) and which has two spring arms (28a, 28b) that can be coupled to lifter blades (34a, 34b) which move up and down. The lifter blades are not attached to the spring arms (28a, 28b) in the starting position of the latter. In the lower shed position (T), the spring arms (28a, 28b) can be displaced into position for coupling with the lifter blades (34a, 34b) using an actuator (40). The displacement member (4) can be locked in the upper shed position using the same actuator (40). To improve the jacquard machine, the switching member (38) is positioned at the end of a spring tongue (44) that is aligned in the direction of displacement and is fixed to the displacement member (4, 4a) outside the spring arms (28a, 28b). The actuator (40, 40a) is located laterally outside the spring arms (28a, 28b) in such a way that it acts transversely in relation to the latter.
