  • Heald frame for weaving machine
    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.

  • Auxiliary nozzle for air jet loom
    Patent number: 4794958
    Abstract: An auxiliary nozzle for an air jet loom is configured as straight tubule closed and tapered blade-like at its free end and moveable with the loom batten into and out of the formed sheds. At least one blow aperture near the closed end of the tubule is provided in the shape of a slot extending essentially transverse to the tubule axis. The slot has a width not exceeding 0.8 mm and lateral walls configured so that the least or critical cross-section is bounded at least on one side by an edge having a thickness not exceeding 0.2 mm. If one edge is provided, it is located on the lower side of the slot toward the air supply and away from the closed end of the tubule. Various aperture configurations are disclosed.
