Abstract: The weaving machine transmission (1) for the control of the stroke of a sley shaft (8) comprises a roller lever (4) and a sley shaft (8) between which there is an active connection, with the roller lever (4) and the sley shaft (8) being arranged so as to be pivotal and mutually rotatable about a common axis (A), with a joint arrangement (6) forming the active connection between the roller lever (4) and the sley shaft (8) and with the joint arrangement (6) being designed such that the length of the active connection can be varied by means of an adjusting apparatus (13) which acts on the joint arrangement (6).

Abstract: A bringer gripper for looms without shuttles, where the weft yam is placed in an upper notch and in a gripping organ, particularly suitable for the simultaneous presentation of one or more wefts to the warp inlet and to the taker gripper, in which the upper notch is shaped with a multiple number of throats of different axial length. The weft yarns fit into the bottom of these throats and are essentially offset in the gripper's direction of motion.
