Abstract: The weaving shaft and center connector, includes an upper shaft rod having an upper longitudinal side and a lower shaft rod; a round rod having a threaded lower end and an upper end guided through the upper shaft rod; a device for anchoring the threaded lower end of the round rod in the lower shaft rod; a stop collar connected with the upper longitudinal side of the upper shaft rod; a cap covering the upper end of the round rod and the stop collar and having through-holes on opposite sides of the connector rod; clamping screws extending through the through-holes of the cap for anchoring the cap on the upper shaft rod to secure the stop collar on the upper shaft rod; and a device for engaging a tool provided on the upper end of the round rod. The stop collar has a diameter corresponding at most to a thickness of the upper shaft rod.

Abstract: A twisting device for power looms comprises oppositely moving heddle supporting rails, two lifting heddles arranged on the heddle supporting rails for standing threads, a semi-heddle for turning threads controlled separately from the heddle supporting rails. It also has a coupling part having magnetic properties and arranged so that the semi-heddle is supported through the coupling part on both the lifting heddles in a longitudinally displaceable manner, and two countercoupling parts having magnetic property and alternatingly cooperating with the coupling part. One of the countercoupling parts is movable together with one of the heddle supporting rails while the other of the countercoupling parts is movable together with the other one of the heddle supporting parts.

Abstract: In a weaver reed having a plurality of reed blades insertable in packs into capsules, each capsule has two lateral portions and a bottom portion which is connected to one of the lateral portions by a thin-wall bridge portion which is curved and remains deformable when pressure of a pressing device is applied to a capsule with reed blades inserted therein.

Abstract: A weaving shaft includes shaft rods and side supports connected to the rods. The rods are made of hollow aluminum profile and each is formed with a recess receiving a lateral projection formed on each side support. The thickness of the lateral projection corresponds to the thickness of the shaft rod. Anchoring bolts secure each side support at its projection via a plate applied to the shaft rod from the outer side thereof .
