Abstract
A heddle (1), preferably for the processing of tape-like material, includes at least two bands (2, 3), which form the heddle shaft (24). At least one component (6, 7), which limits a thread eye (8), or one of the two bands (2, 3) has at least one fastening element (9, 10), which connects the component and the band. The two bands (2, 3) make mutual contact above and below the thread eye (8) at joins (13, 14). At least one join (13, 14) is spaced from the thread eye (8) by a distance A, which is, at the most, half as great as the distance (D) between the thread eye (8) and the end loop (17) nearest in each case to the join (13, 14).
Claims15
A heddle comprising:
- at least two bands (2, 3), which form a heddle shaft (24),
- at least one component (6, 7), which limits a thread eye (8),
- at least two end loops (17)
- wherein the at least one component (6, 7) has at least one fastening element (9, 10) that engages (9, 10) a recess (11, 12) in a first of the at least two bands, and/or at least one of the two bands (2, 3) has at least one fastening element (25) that interlocks with at least one component (6, 7),
- wherein the at least two bands (2, 3) forming the heddle shaft (24) make mutual contact, at least section-wise, above and below the thread eye (8) at joins (13, 14),
- and wherein at least a first (13) of the joins above the thread eye or at least a second join (14) of the joins below the thread eye (8) is spaced from the thread eye (8) by a distance (A) which is less than half a distance (D) between the thread eye (8) and an end loop (17) of the least two end loops nearest to the respective join (13, 14).
Method for the manufacture of a heddle, the method comprising:
- bringing together of two bands (2, 3), flat side to flat side, and making at least two joins (13, 14) which connect the two bands (2, 3) at least in sections of their surface area,
- creating a space between the two bands—between the at least two joins (13, 14)—of their extension in the heddle's longitudinal direction (L),
- inserting at least one component (6, 7), which limits a thread eye (8), in the space.
