Abstract: This rapier is for drawing-in a weft yarn into a shed of a weaving loom (2), along a drawing-in path. The rapier includes a rapier head (206) mounted at one end of the rapier, which extends along a main longitudinal is driven, along the drawing-in path, by a drive. Also included is a clamp (320) for catching a weft yarn, with the clamp being mounted in the rapier head, operable between an open and closed configuration. The rapier includes an electric motor, (208) mounted on the body for actuating the clamp and a mechanism (260-328) for transforming an output movement of the motor, which is a rotation around an axis (A208) parallel to the main longitudinal axis, into an opening or a closing movement of the clamp.

Abstract: A hook-and-loop fastener connector having a plurality of hooks (7) arranged on a base plate (16). The hooks (7) exhibit a hook foot (8) and a hook head (9). The hook foot (8) and hook head (9) are arranged within one plane. The plane (10) and the base plate (16) are angled to each other at an angle (ß) greater than 90°.
