  • Patent number: 11668029
    Abstract: A device and a method for handling weaving accessories are described herein. The device comprises at least one holding element for a weaving accessory. The at least one holding element comprises a contact surface for a weaving accessory. The greater extension of the contact surface defines the longitudinal direction of the holding element and the lesser extension of the contact surface defines the lateral direction of the holding element. The at least one holding element is arranged pivotably around a first axis, which extends at a right angle to the holding element's longitudinal direction. A weaving accessory at the holding element's contact surface can thus be moved from a pick-up position to a drawing-in position by pivoting the holding element around the first axis.

  • Patent number: 8596304
    Abstract: A leno device for use in weaving machines. The leno device having a first lifting shaft, a second lifting shaft and a half shaft. The shafts are connected with each other via a linkage mechanism having several transmission units Each transmission unit having a connecting bar and two guide rods. In order to prevent fingers and or the hand of the operator from being pinched between the connecting bar and one of the levers, the leno device has a separate cover part for each transmission unit. The cover part may be fastened to one of the lifting shafts or to one of the guide rods of the transmission unit, or to the connecting bar. The cover part prevents an operator from being able to reach between the connecting bar and the guide rods in warp thread direction.
