Abstract
Heddle frame having a transverse beam (2, 3) comprising a transverse profile (22, 63) and a reinforcing profile (20, 21, 52, 57, 58, 61, 62) which are glued to one another, the transverse beam (2, 3) having an undulating adhesive surface (46, 47, 48, 51, 55, 56, 59, 60) which can interact with an adhesive (42) which extends between the transverse profile (22, 63) and the reinforcing profile (20, 21, 52, 57, 58, 61, 62) in order to glue the transverse profile (22, 63) and the reinforcing profile (20, 21, 52, 57, 58, 61, 62) to one another. Transverse beam for a heddle frame and method for producing a heddle frame.
Claims15
Transverse beam for a heddle frame, comprising a transverse profile and a reinforcing profile glued to the transverse profile, said transverse beam having an undulating adhesive surface arranged to engage and interact with an adhesive which is disposed between the transverse profile and the reinforcing profile, and which glues the transverse profile to the reinforcing profile, said adhesive surface containing multiple wave-like undulations including valleys and peaks extending over at least a portion of the adhesive surface providing multiple wave-like undulations in an adhesive disposed between the transverse profile and the reinforcing profile.
Method for making a transverse beam for a heddle frame, comprising:
- providing a transverse profile and a reinforcing profile adapted to be connected to and extend along a length of the transverse profile so that the connected transverse profile and the reinforcing profile together comprise the transverse beam;
- providing the transverse profile or the reinforcing profile with an undulating adhesive surface on a portion thereof, the adhesive surface comprising multiple, wave-like undulations having valleys and peaks extending over at least a portion of the adhesive surface;
- connecting the transverse profile to the reinforcing profile by gluing the transverse profile to the reinforcing profile along the undulating adhesive surface so that the undulating surface interacts with the adhesive to produce multiple undulations in the adhesive to hold the reinforcing profile to the transverse profile.
