Abstract
A heald (heddle) shaft (1) comprises at least one shaft rod (2) on which a damping element (12)is supported on the shaft rod carrier body (15) to be movable in the longitudinal direction of a heald or heddle (8) mounted on a shaft stave or rail (6) carried by the body (15) so as to be moveable toward and away from an abutment surface (26) of the support body (15) and an outer end surface (22) an eyelet of a heald or heddle (8) mounted on the shaft stave (6). By virtue of movably supporting the damping element (12), an alignment of the healds or heddles (8) is improved and facilitated, and a desired damping effect is obtained during the entire motion course of the healds or heddles (8).
Claims15
A shaft rod for a heald shaft of a weaving machine, including
- a carrier body which carries a shaft stave or on which a shaft stave is formed,
- at least one heald damping element supported on the carrier body, and,
- wherein the heald damping element is supported on the carrier body to be movable transversely to the carrier body, and in the longitudinal direction of a heald mounted on the shaft stave, between an abutment surface of the carrier body of the shaft rod and an outer end surface of an eyelet of a heald mounted on the shaft stave of the carrier body.
A method of fitting a heald shaft with healds and/or threading threads into the healds, comprising
- performing the fitting step and/or the threading step on a heald shaft;
- with the damping element for the healds from at least one shaft rod of the heald shaft having been removed, and,
- after completing the fitting and/or the threading step, mounting the damping element on the shaft rod between an outer end surface of the healds and a surface of the shaft rod for movement in a longitudinal direction of the healds.
