On the one hand, the invention relates to a device for exerting a return force on at least one harness element of the harness of a Jacquard weaving machine, comprising at least one return spring (2) provided with means of attachment (1) for attaching the return spring (2) to retaining means (4) being immovably provided, said means of attachment (1) being provided with a positioning opening (6) for positioning the means of attachment (1) with respect to the retaining means (4), and a fixing opening (7) for fixing the means of attachment (1) to the retaining means (4), a spring connection (8) being provided between the positioning opening (6) and the fixing opening (7), in such a manner that the means of attachment (1) are able to move from positioning opening (6) to the fixing opening (7) with respect to the retaining means (4), but after having been fixed will be unable to move back from the fixing opening (7) to the positioning opening (6) with respect to the retaining means during operation or transport of the Jacquard machine. On the other hand, the invention relates to a device for immovably installing the retaining means (4) of one or several return springs (2) of a Jacquard weaving machine, the device being provided with at least two fixed installing elements (13) for installing the retaining means (4), the said installing elements (13) being provided with one or several recesses to apply the retaining means (4).
Device for exerting a return force on at least one harness element of the harness of a Jacquard weaving machine, comprising at least one return spring (2) provided with means of attachment (1) for attaching the return spring (2) to retaining means (4) immovably provided, wherein said means of attachment (1) are provided with a positioning opening (6) for positioning the means of attachment (1) with respect to the retaining means (4), and a fixing opening (7) for fixing the means of attachment (1) to the retaining means (4), a spring connection (8) being provided between the positioning opening (6) and the fixing opening (7), such that the means of attachment (1) are able to move from the positioning opening (6) to the fixing opening (7) with respect to the retaining means (4), but will be unable, after having been fixed with respect to the retaining means (4), to move back from the fixing opening (7) to the positioning opening (6) during operation or transport of the Jacquard machine.
A system comprising a device for immovably installing a means of attachment (1) of one or several return springs (2) of a Jacquard weaving machine comprising at least two fixed installing elements (13) for installing retaining means (4), the installing elements (13) comprising one or several recesses for applying the retaining means (4) further comprising, in combination, a device for exerting a return force on at least one harness element of the harness of a Jacquard weaving machine, comprising at least one return spring (2) provided with the means of attachment (1) for attaching the return spring (2) to the retaining means (4) immovably provided, the means of attachment (1) comprising a positioning opening (6) for positioning the means of attachment (1) with respect to the retaining means (4), and a fixing opening (7) for fixing the means of attachment (1) to the retaining means (4), a spring connection (8) being provided between the positioning opening (6) and the fixing opening (7) enabling the means of attachment (1) to move from the positioning opening (6) to the fixing opening (7) with respect to the retaining means (4), but after having been fixed with respect to the retaining means (4) the means of attachment being unable to move back from the fixing opening (7) to the positioning opening (6) during operation or transport of the Jacquard machine.
