Patent number: 7578316Abstract: The heddle shaft rod (4) described originates in an extruded aluminum profile section with relatively thick side walls, which are removed in some regions and thereby made thinner. This can be done without substantial impairment to the rigidity of the heddle shaft rod, yet as a result a substantial reduction in weight is attained. The removal of material can be adapted to the local load conditions. For instance, it is possible at the ends or other force introduction points to leave unweakened thick walls, while the other regions of the side walls are milled off far enough that a uniform thinner wall thickness is attained. It is furthermore possible to vary the amount of material removed, either in multiple steps or in infinitely graduated fashion. The material removal pertains to a reduction in the wall thickness that is measured transversely to the movement direction of the heddle shaft rod.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2004Date of Patent: August 25, 2009Assignee: Groz-Beckert KGInventor: Karl-Heinz Gesing

Publication number: 20090065087Abstract: Suggested here is a shaft rod (1) comprising a heald mounting rail (3) that is glued to the rod body (2). In order to achieve bonding, a space-filling adhesive (19) provided in an accommodation space (14) of the heald mounting rail (3) or of the rod body (2) is used. The accommodation space (14) has a greater volume than a holding section (10) formed on the rod body (2) or on the heald mounting rail (3). Preferably, the holding section (10) and the accommodation space (14) are configured in such a manner that the two parts can only be inserted into each other with the aid of a pivoting movement. To achieve this, the holding section (10) is preferably provided with a part (21) extending in a direction transverse to the mouth 17 of the accommodation space (14), said part being wider than the mouth (17) and thus extending behind a wall section or a part (31, 34) of the accommodation space (14).Type: ApplicationFiled: September 11, 2008Publication date: March 12, 2009Applicant: GROZ-BECKERT KGInventors: Stefan Drope, Karl-Heinz Gesing, Eckhard Fehrenbacher
