  • Patent number: 10125749
    Abstract: A pump has at least one pump element that comprises a pump piston that is driven in a reciprocating movement by a drive shaft having at least one cam and that defines a pump working chamber which, during the suction stroke of the pump piston is selectively filled with pumped medium via an inlet valve. The at least one cam is a multiple cam having multiple cam delivery areas for the delivery strokes of the pump piston. The inlet valve is configured to be electrically actuated. The inlet valve is closed when the pump piston is situated in the cam delivery area to be used for the delivery. The inlet valve is opened when the pump piston is situated in a cam delivery area that is not to be used for the delivery. Cam profiles of the cam delivery areas of at least one multiple cam are of different design.

  • Patent number: 4379474
    Abstract: In an attempt to form a compact arrangement of a control unit for a weaving machine, according to U.S. Pat. No. 3,759,298, undesired distortions result in the sequence of movement of the heddle frame due to the installation of a short connecting rod. To prevent this, the heddle frame actuating mechanism has one double arm lever pivotally supported on an arm of a further double arm lever, a connecting rod hingedly connected at its one end to a still further double arm lever. The arm of the further double arm lever and the arm of the one double arm lever are in alignment rectilinearly in the center-shed position and are together equal in length to the length of a first arm of the still further double arm lever, so that these two arms, the connecting rod and a connecting line extending between the fixedly arranged pivot axles for the further double arm lever and the still further double arm lever form a parallelogram.

  • Patent number: 4359985
    Abstract: A governor weight retainer assembly for a fuel pump in which a flexible connection is provided between the governor weight retainer and the hub on which the weight retainer is mounted. The flexible connection is a mechanical construction which has elongated spring elements supported on the hub as chordal elements, and roller elements are mounted on the weight retainer for limited travel in a circle on the chordal elements. The roller and chordal elements thus serve as cushion means between the retainer and hub.

  • Patent number: 4241481
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for connecting harness cords to the heddles which are eventually to be used in a weaving machine. A harness cord is threaded through an upper eyelet of the heddle and is turned back on itself with the connection being fixed by a shrink hose which is shrunk over the eyelet, thereby clamping the harness cord to the upper eyelet. An apparatus is movably mounted on an assembly frame between the various harness assemblages. At each location on the frame, the apparatus holds the free end of the harness cord after it has been threaded through the eyelet on the heddle. A friction brake is utilized to hold the free end of the harness cord while the apparatus effects a tightening of the harness cord and a drawing of the eyelet into the unshrunk shrink hose. A cutting mechanism is provided to sever the harness cord between the eyelet and the friction brake.

  • Patent number: 4172475
    Abstract: A weaving machine comprising a dobby and a Jacquard machine as the control members, wherein the dobby is controlled from a single pattern card in the Jacquard machine. Harness cords connect the Jacquard hooks to the heddles and to a movably supported member in the dobby. The coordinated movements of the Jacquard hooks will effect a simultaneous movement of the movably supported member in the dobby so that operations of the Jacquard machine in response to the information on the pattern card will simultaneously effect an operation of the dobby.

  • Patent number: 4057084
    Abstract: An improvement in a Jacquard-harness of a weaving machine in which the spacing of the heddles for adjusting the width of the material are adjustable. The harness is composed of a plurality of series arranged comber boards each having guide bores therein adapted to receive a harness cord therein. A connection is provided between a pair of such comber boards and consists of rigid, non-bending connecting rods each connected through a pivotal joint. A comber board is secured to a shaft which forms the pivotal joint. A portion of the bores in the comber boards lies on the axis of the shaft which also constitutes the central axis of the comber board. The remaining bores in the comber board are arranged in a mirror image manner symmetrical to the plane connecting the center lines of the comber boards.
