Abstract
A heddle frame having two uprights and two cross-rails interconnected by at least one brace extending in a direction generally parallel to the uprights. The brace includes a rod provided with a screw fastener at opposite ends thereof, two threaded members for being screwed onto one of the opposite ends of the rod, and first and second clamping members mounted to the opposite ends of the rod and the threaded members, respectively, for exerting a clamping locking force on a portion of each cross-rail wherein the locking force results from screwing the threaded members onto the opposite ends of the rod.
Claims19
A heddle frame for a loom, said frame comprising two uprights and two cross-rails interconnected by at least one brace which extends in a direction that is generally parallel to said uprights, said brace including:
- a rod having screw fastener means provided at opposite ends thereof;
- two threaded members adapted to be screwed onto said opposite ends of said rod by co-operating with said screw fastener means;
- and
- first and second clamping means provided adjacent said opposite ends of said rod and being urged by said two threaded members, respectively, which exert oppositely directed locking forces (F3, F4) on a portion of said cross-rails, wherein said locking forces are a result of screwing said two threaded members onto a corresponding of said opposite ends of said rod.
A loom comprising, at least one heddle frame, said at least one heddle frame, including two uprights and two cross-rails interconnected by at least one brace which extends in a direction that is generally parallel to said uprights, said brace including:
- a rod having a screw fastener means provided at opposite ends thereof;
- two threaded members adapted to be screwed onto said opposite ends of said rod by co-operating with said screw fastener means;
- and
- first and second clamping means provided adjacent said opposite ends of said rod and being urged by said two threaded members, respectively, which exert oppositely directed locking forces (F3, F4) on a portion of said cross-rails, wherein said locking forces are a result of screwing one of said members onto a corresponding of said opposite ends of said rod.
