  • Patent number: 6994122
    Abstract: A heald frame for a weaving machine includes stops (15, 16) made of a material with shock-absorbing properties associated with the ends of the healds (10). A gap is provided between the heald ends and the stops, such gap ensuring that the healds can be moved along guide rails forming part of the heald frame while reducing noise and potentially damaging vibrations. The healds are held on the guide rails with play and are moved by and limited in their movements in a longitudinal direction by the stops.

  • Patent number: 6953067
    Abstract: In order to deflect a warp thread sheet (2) in a weaving machine, a deflecting device (18)is provided which is guided in guides (26) that also guide heald frames (13, 14, 15, 16). The deflecting device positions a segment (46) of the warp thread sheet (2) that starts at a beatup line (7) of the fabric (8) between the beatup line and the heald frames.

  • Patent number: 6789580
    Abstract: A heald frame for a weaving machine includes a stop (15, 16) made of a material with shock-absorbing properties associated with at least one end of the healds (10). A gap is provided between the hold ends and the stop, such gap ensuring that the healds can be moved along guiding and drive rails forming part of the heald frame while reducing noise and potentially damaging vibrations.

  • Publication number: 20030019534
    Abstract: In order to deflect a warp spread sheet (2) in a weaving machine, a means (18) is provided in which is guided in guide means (26) that also guide heald frames (13, 14, 15, 16). The means for deflecting positions a segment (46) of the warp thread sheet (2) that starts at the beatup line (7) of the fabric (8).
