  • Patent number: 6911780
    Abstract: An electron beam generating device, wherein a high-resistance film is formed on the outer surface of an insulator provided with a cathode for emitting thermal electrons and a grid for collecting thermal electrons and forming an electron beam to allow a feeble current to flow to the high-resistance film, thereby preventing the accumulation of thermal electrons on the insulator and discharging. The upper portion of the high-resistance film connected to a chamber supplies an approximate reference potential to the upper portion of the film, and the lower portion of the high-resistance film connected to the grid supplies almost the same potential as that of the grid to the lower portion of the film to allow a feeble current to flow to the film. The prevention of accumulation of thermal electrons on the insulator can prevent discharging, accurately control the current capacity of an electron beam, and give the electron beam generating device a longer service life.

  • Patent number: 5005607
    Abstract: A heald frame, constructed to have upper and lower framestaves and left and right side stays coupled to one another, the coupling between the framestaves and the side stays adjustable to increase or decrease the distance between the upper framestave and the lower framestave. The heald frame is also able to change the distance between upper and lower carrier rods, which are fixed to the upper and lower framestaves respectively, thereby permitting the adjustment of the distance between the ends of a multiplicity of healds which span a distance between the upper and lower carrier rods. The coupling is made from a side stay with a jointing convex part capable of being adjustably coupled to a holder. The adjustable jointing convex part and the holder, which are mounted together in the framestaves, are adapted to be fixed in a selected position.

  • Patent number: 4523614
    Abstract: A vertically reciprocatible heddle frame has side beams including a heddle bar fixed to the side beams, and heddles loosely mounted on the heddle bar with vertical play. A device for detecting end breakage of yarn supported by the heddles consists of an electrically conductive bar mounted on a resilient holding element. The resilient holding element leaves access at the top for contact between the heddles and the detecting bar. An electrical current flows through the detecting bar only during the downward movement of the heddle frame. End breakage of yarn permits a heddle to contact the detecting bar during such downward motion, and the resulting completed electrical circuit can be detected by appropriate detecting means.

  • Patent number: 4506707
    Abstract: A heddle frame in which the heddles have enlarged heads which are slidably mounted in guide channels in the side beams. To remove the heddles the heads are slid longitudinally in the guide channels until they come to a channel opening port which permits them to be removed transversely to the guide channels.

  • Patent number: 4366843
    Abstract: A two part guide plate of a heddle frame is disclosed. One element of the guide plate is fixed to the heddle frame and has a groove into which a movable element is pivotably inserted. The fixed and movable elements are pivotably connected by a connection pin and mate with one another at corresponding fitting parts having sloped contacting surfaces. A projection and depression on the fixed and movable elements cooperate to hold the movable element in an upright position, however sufficient force on the movable element will permit it to be overthrown so that the clearance between the heddle frame and a drawing in machine can be increased.
