  • Coupler between heald frame and shedding mechanism
    Patent number: 5000229
    Abstract: A coupler for coupling a detachable coupling between the edge of a frame stave of a heald frame and the distal end of a connecting rod of a shedding mechanism. Either the lower or upper edge of the frame stave is fixedly mounted to a body of the coupler which is in turn interlocked to the distal end of the connecting rod. The outer surface of the connecting rod interlock is retained by a clamp mounted on the body so that the connecting rod is prevented from moving outward from the body. The clamp is also provided with a manipulator lever which actuates the clamp for opening and closing motion.
