Abstract: The present invention relates to a control unit comprising a series of electromagnets for actuating juxtaposed or superposed mobile armature members. A cover locked in an frame contains a series of cores maintained in position by abutment of coil supports and by a plate. The latter supports a printed circuit connected to the coils and to a cable. The frame cover assembly is filled with a mass of injected resin. The invention is particularly applicable to textile equipment (dobbies).

Abstract: The invention relates to dobbies of the type with double swinging levers and fastening hooks, provided with an auxiliary actuating system ensuring functioning for a weave different from that corresponding to the conventional reading device. To this end, a cam is provided, of such section that, by an angular displacement imparted after the momentary retraction of the disc of the reading device, the heel provided on certain of the hooks is pushed, causing said latter to pivot. The invention finds particular application in the textile industry.

Abstract: The present invention relates to dobbies of the type in which each double swinging lever is controlled by two pulling hooks cooperating with pulling knives with reciprocal movement. Each non-selected pulling hook in each pair is raised away from the associated pulling knife by a stirrup coupled to a vertical rod having a gripper at its upper end, the gripper being selectively coupled to a raising knife under the control of the reading mechanism. The raising knife is raised or lowered by a vertical slide mechanism which is coupled directly by a connecting rod to a lowering knife of the dobbie, so that the slide mechanism and raising knife move up and down synchronously therewith. The invention finds particular application in the textile industry.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a rapid pipe coupling device of the type in which the male and female elements are locked by at least one bar housed in an oblique notch and urged forward locking by a spring. The locking member is formed by a push member movable in a transverse notch in the body; this push member has a wedge shaped slope oriented to displace the bar from locking position in response to manual pressure. The invention finds particular application in accessories for hydraulic or pneumatic installations.

Abstract: A dobby for the formation of the shed on weaving looms, of the type in which each of the double swinging levers coupled to the heddle frames of the loom is displaced alternately by two pivoted pulling hooks which are controlled on the one hand downwardly by transverse lowering knives adapted to bring them in contact with pulling knives, on the other hand upwardly by stirrups under the control of the pattern mechanism and associated with lifting means which enable said hooks to displace the said pulling knives, wherein the lifting means are constituted by crosspieces directly fixed to the transverse lowering knives while the stirrups are shaped to cooperate with the said crosspieces when they receive the action of rocking levers placed under the control of the pattern mechanism.
