Abstract: This heddle comprises a link and at least one rod made of polymeric material, one longitudinal extremity of which comprises surfaces covering the transverse faces of the link. The rod and the link form at least one cavity, offset from the link parallel to a longitudinal axis and delimited by a first peripheral surface of the link, a second lateral surface, formed by the outer surface of the rod, and a third bottom surface, formed by the rod and extending one of the covering surfaces. An intersection line extends from the third bottom surface and delimits the first surface. The third bottom surface is arranged toward the outside of the rod relative to the second lateral surface. Each cavity is non-facing, according to a thickness axis in a direction away from the third bottom surface.

Abstract: A textile machine (4) for a weaving loom having an input shaft which is coupled to a weaving loom. The drive mechanism is driven by the input shaft to move frames or collars of the weaving loom through a sequence of predefined positions. The electronic control device is programmed to monitor the change in position of each frame or collar during each step of the predefined sequence of positions and to count the number of times each frame or collar reproduces a particular configuration.

Abstract: This control system (100) for at least one Jacquard mechanism (4) for forming shed has electromechanical selection devices (20) including magnets, a primary controller (70) intended to communicate with a weaving machine (2) and including at least one memory (76) to store weave pattern data and at least one computer (74). This system also includes at least two secondary controllers (40A, 40B), each electrically connected to the primary controller (70) and each able to control a group of electromechanical selection devices (20), each secondary controller having at least one memory (46A, 46B) for storing weave pattern data, at least one computer (44A, 44B), and control units (30) for the electromagnets belonging to the electromechanical selection devices (20). This system further includes at least one intermediate controller (50) in direct electrical connection, with one of the secondary controllers (40A, 40B) and with at least two electromagnet control units (30).

Abstract: A blade for moving hooks of a Jacquard mechanism for forming a shed on a Jacquard loom wherein the blade includes at least one profile made from a composite material, having a body made of unidirectional fibers that extend in a longitudinal direction (X12) of the at least one profile and are embedded in a resin.

Abstract: The invention relates to a blade (12) for moving hooks of a Jacquard mechanism for forming a shed on a Jacquard loom. This blade comprises at least one profile (14) made from a composite material, having a body made up of unidirectional fibers that extend in the longitudinal direction (X12) of the profile and are embedded in a resin.

Abstract: A device for hooking a heddle of a weaving loom of the Jacquard type to a harness cord of the loom that includes an endpiece molded on an upper end of the heddle. The endpiece including an aperture for the passage and wedging of the cord and a housing for receiving two strands of the cord. The device also includes a rigid sleeve reciprocally slidably mounted on the endpiece between a first position, in which it allows access to the aperture, and a second position, in which it covers the aperture and exerts a compressive force for constricting the aperture and blocking access to the lower end of the cord. The device may also be used for hooking one or more cords on a string.

Abstract: This device is used for hooking a heddle of a weaving loom of the Jacquard type together with a cord belonging to the harness of the loom. It comprises an endpiece injection-moulded on the upper end of the heddle and forming an aperture for the passage and wedging of the cord and a housing for receiving the two strands of the cord. It likewise comprises a rigid sleeve mounted on the endpiece and movable in translational motion on this endpiece between a first position, in which it allows access to the aperture, and a second position, in which it covers the aperture and exerts a centripetal force for constricting the aperture and the housing, thus making it possible to block the lower end of the cord. Such a device may also be used for hooking one or more cords on a string.
