  • Patent number: 11047070
    Abstract: A clamping apparatus provides a releasable connection of a harness cord to a lifting heddle of a leno weave apparatus, wherein the releasable connection is configured as a clamping connection. The clamping apparatus has a clamping wedge and a wedge receiver device arranged at the end of the lifting heddle. The wedge receiver device displaceably receives the clamping wedge in the longitudinal direction of the lifting heddle. The harness cord is clampingly grippable between the wedge receiver device and the clamping wedge structure is provided for fixing the clamping wedge in the clamping receiver device.

  • Patent number: 9850597
    Abstract: An apparatus for forming a leno selvage, in particular for a loom, includes a fixed-position housing, a support having the shape of a circular ring or of a circular disk and rotatably supported in the housing by a bearing and having two diagonally oppositely disposed thread eyelets for guiding leno threads in the region of the inner race of the bearing. At least two ring gears of magnetizable material extending in parallel with one another are arranged on the outer periphery of the support. A plurality of magnets are arranged on the outer periphery of the support in the region of the ring gears. A stator sheet package of circular ring shape having a plurality of coils arranged thereat has segments each having a toothed arrangement associated with the toothed arrangement of the ring gears in the region of the coils.

  • Patent number: 8893750
    Abstract: A device for manufacturing a fabric has a plurality of automatically working apparatus arranged next to one another on at least one carrier for manufacturing a leno weave (a leno weave apparatus). Two leno threads are fed to each leno weave apparatus. The device has at least one weft thread picking device; wherein the weft thread is introduced into the shed of leno threads raised by a plurality of leno weave apparatus. The weft thread is bound using at least two leno threads at a plurality of points behind the weft thread over the width of the fabric. At least one of the leno weave apparatus arranged in the end region of the fabric carries out a higher number of interlacings for achieving a homogenized warp tension distribution over the width of the fabric; and/or the lowering of the shed is carried out by the leno weave apparatus over the width of the fabric at different times for achieving a homogenized warp tension distribution.
