Abstract: A lifter mechanism for a Jacquard machine is connected to two hooks. This mechanism has one lifter element with two rollers and one roller element. This mechanism also has one lifter cord passing around under the top roller of the lifter element and is fixed by each end to one of the hooks while the roller element is immovably fixed below the lifter element. The mechanism has an additional lifter cord which is fixed by one end next to the other lifter cord to one of the hooks. This lifter cord is passed around under the roller of the roller element, around over the bottom roller of the lifter element, and is extended back down, where it connected to the warp threads. The rollers are placed on shafts, which, in a horizontal plane, form an angle (.alpha.) relative to a line parallel to the direction of the knives. The roller of the roller element is placed on a shaft which, in a horizontal plane along the other side, forms an angle (.beta.
