  • Publication number: 20220316107
    Abstract: A reed (16) including multiple slats (20), which are arranged in a transverse direction (Q) at a distance from one another is disclosed. Each slat (20) extends from an upper end (21) to a lower end (22). The upper ends (21) are connected by an adhesive bond to two upper plate parts (32) of an upper holding shaft (23). The lower ends (22) of the slats (20) are connected by an adhesive bond to two lower plate parts (43) of a lower holding shaft (24). The plate parts (32, 43) are each produced from a fiber-reinforced composite material. The entire upper holding shaft (23) and the entire lower holding shaft (24) preferably are made of parts produced from a fiber-reinforced composite material.

  • Patent number: 11414792
    Abstract: In the method according to the invention, a wire (11) provided with teeth (15) passes sequentially through a first inductor (16) and a second inductor (18). The inductors (16, 18) function at different frequencies and generate different temperatures. The first inductor (16) heats in particular the base section (17), which is not to be hardened, to a high temperature below the austenitizing temperature range. The second inductor (18) heats the teeth (15) to a still higher second temperature within the austenitizing temperature range. Defined, hardened teeth of consistently high quality result at quenching.

  • Patent number: 10920344
    Abstract: A reed and a method for producing a reed. The reed has a multiplicity of dents, which are arranged in a width direction, forming interspaces each having a dent spacing. Each dent has two opposite end sections, at which the dents are respectively connected to a carrier and to the immediately adjacent dent or dents by an adhesive connection. In at least one end section, the dent has a plurality of a spacer studs, which are preferably produced by embossing. The spacer studs form a depression on the one, first side and, on the opposite, second side, form a projection having a stud outer surface. The sum of all the stud outer surfaces of the spacer studs of a single end section of a dent has a proportion of at most 15% of the total end section surface on this second side.

  • Publication number: 20200299874
    Abstract: The invention relates to a reed (15) and to a method for producing the same. The reed (15) has a multiplicity of dents (16), which are arranged in a width direction (B), forming interspaces (25) each having a dent spacing (x). Each dent (16) has two opposite end sections (19), at which the dents are respectively connected to a carrier (27) and to the immediately adjacent dent or dents (16) by an adhesive connection. In at least one or both end sections (19), the dent (16) has a plurality of a spacer studs (30), which are preferably produced by embossing. The spacer studs (30) form a depression one, first side (S1) and, on the opposite, second side (S2), form a projection having a stud outer surface (F). The sum of all the stud outer surfaces (F) of the spacer studs (30) of a single end (19) of a dent (16) has a proportion of at most 15% or at most 10% or at most 8% on the total end section surface on this second side (S2).
