Disclosure of Invention

The object of the present invention is to provide a fabric support and a method for manufacturing the same which allow easy mounting of the fabric support to a weaving machine and which allow positioning of elements mounted to the sley of the weaving machine with high precision and great flexibility.

This object is solved by a textile support and a method having the features of claims 1 and 13. Preferred embodiments are defined in the dependent claims.

According to a first aspect, a fabric support for a weaving machine is provided, having a support profile and at least one support table section formed separately from the support profile, wherein the support profile has an elongated base section adapted to be fastened to a frame of the weaving machine, and a support table section formed integrally with the elongated base section, wherein the support table section comprises a protruding lip portion arranged at its distal end, and an adjoining cantilever portion extending at least upwards from the elongated base section, wherein the at least one support table section comprises a protruding lip portion arranged at its distal end, and an adjoining cantilever portion, wherein the length of the support table section is shorter than the length of the elongated base section, and wherein the at least one support table section is attached to the elongated base section in a position offset to the support table section in the longitudinal direction of the support profile.

The at least one support table section may be aligned with the support profile when mounting the at least one support table section to the support profile. A preassembled unit of support profiles and support table sections can be mounted to the weaving machine.

In one embodiment, the at least one support table section and the support profile are made of the same material, for example of extruded aluminum or an aluminum alloy. In a preferred embodiment, the at least one supporting table section is made of a more rigid material than the material of the supporting profile. For example, the at least one support table section is made of steel.

In one embodiment, the material thickness of the at least one support table section is at least partially smaller than the material thickness of the support table section, in particular the material thickness of the at least one support table section at the height of its cantilever portion is smaller than the material thickness of the support table section at the height of its cantilever portion. By reducing the material thickness, the installation space of the elements mounted to the sley of the weaving machine is increased. Thereby, it is possible to position the element mounted to the sley with a high flexibility with respect to the weaving width and thus with respect to the longitudinal direction of the fabric support. In particular, when providing a support bed section made of a more rigid material, the material thickness can be reduced without reducing, or at least not significantly reducing, the load-bearing capacity of the fabric support.

The shape of the cantilevered portion of the at least one support table section and the shape of the cantilevered portion of the support table section are selected such that the respective lip portions are disposed proximate the beat-up line. The cantilevered portion extends at least upwardly from the elongate base section. In one embodiment, the cantilever portion extends along an at least substantially straight line having a vertical component. In a preferred embodiment, the cantilever portion is arc-shaped, wherein a temple roller (temple roller) may be placed in front of the lip portion in the pulling direction of the woven fabric.

In a preferred embodiment, the back side of the cantilever part of the at least one support table section protrudes less from the elongated base section towards the spring than the back side of the cantilever part of the support table section. To this end, in an embodiment, the shape of the cantilever portion of the at least one support table section is different from the shape of the cantilever portion of the support table section.

In one embodiment, the cantilever portion of the at least one table section and the cantilever portion of the table section extend along at least substantially the same arc or straight line. Preferably, the thickness of the cantilever part of the at least one support table section is at least in some areas smaller than the thickness of the cantilever part of the support table section. This allows the back side of the cantilever part of the at least one support table section to protrude less from the elongated base section towards the reed than the back side of the cantilever part of the support table section.

In a preferred embodiment, the cantilever portion of the at least one support table section is provided with at least one opening. Such openings allow the passage of elements (such as nozzles) mounted to the sley. In one embodiment, the cantilever portion is provided with two openings dividing the cantilever portion into three ribs, which ribs are offset from each other in the longitudinal direction.

In one embodiment, the lip portion of the support table section and the lip portion of the at least one support table section serve as guiding surfaces for the woven fabric, wherein, for example, a surface treatment or a surface coating is applied to the lip portion of the support table section for enhancing the guiding properties. In a preferred embodiment, the fabric support further comprises an elongated guiding element, wherein the elongated guiding element is mounted to the support table section and the lip portion of the at least one support table section. In one embodiment, the support table section and the at least one support table section are arranged such that adjacent lip portions abut each other. In other embodiments, the support table section and the at least one support table section are arranged such that a gap is formed between adjacent lip portions, wherein the elongated guide element bridges the gap between the lip portions.

In one embodiment, the lip portion of the at least one support table section and the lip portion of the support table section each have a flat top surface for mounting the elongated guiding element.

In one embodiment, the support profile has an auxiliary support section which extends in the longitudinal direction of the support profile, wherein in particular the length of the auxiliary support section is at least substantially the same as the length of the elongated base section, wherein in particular an elongated auxiliary guide element is mounted to the auxiliary support section. The auxiliary support section is integrally formed with the support profile. Therefore, no additional installation step is required to install the auxiliary support section.

In a preferred embodiment, the elongated base section is provided with: a mounting surface for mounting the elongate base section to a frame of a weaving machine; and an attachment surface to which the at least one support table section is mounted. The mounting surface is for example the bottom surface of the elongated base section. Depending on the mounting technique, the mounting surface is provided with alignment elements and/or through holes for receiving fastening screws. In a preferred embodiment, the attachment surface is inclined relative to the mounting surface about an axis parallel to the longitudinal direction of the elongated base section. The arrangement of the attachment surfaces is appropriately selected by the person skilled in the art for avoiding that forces act only in a direction perpendicular to the fastening element (in particular, perpendicular to the fastening screw) and/or for ensuring that the elongated base section has a sufficient material thickness in the region surrounding the fastening element.

In one embodiment, at least one support table section is aligned with respect to the support profile by means of fastening elements. In a preferred embodiment, the at least one support table section abuts against an abutment surface of the elongated base section, wherein the attachment surface and the abutment surface are set at an angle to each other, in particular at an angle of about 70 ° to about 120 °.

According to a second aspect, there is provided a method for manufacturing a fabric support for a weaving machine, the fabric support having a support profile and at least one support table section formed separately from the support profile, wherein the support profile has an elongated base section adapted to be fastened to a frame of the weaving machine, and a support table section formed integrally with the elongated base section, wherein the support table section comprises a protruding lip portion arranged at a distal end thereof, and an adjoining cantilever portion extending at least upwardly from the elongated base section, wherein the at least one support table section comprises a protruding lip portion arranged at a distal end thereof, and an adjoining cantilever portion, and wherein the support table section has a length that is shorter than the length of the elongated base section, the method comprising: machining the elongated base section in a position offset to the support table section in the longitudinal direction of the support profile for forming an attachment surface; and attaching at least one support table section, formed separately from the support profile, to the elongated base section at the attachment surface.

In one embodiment, the support profile is made of extruded aluminum or aluminum alloy, wherein by machining the support profile the length of the support bench section is shortened such that the length of the support bench section becomes shorter than the length of the elongated base section.

In a preferred embodiment, the at least one support table section is formed such that after mounting the at least one support table section the back side of its cantilever part protrudes less from the elongated base section towards the spring than the back side of the cantilever part of the support table section. In the region of the at least one supporting table section, therefore, an additional installation space for elements mounted to the sley of the weaving machine is provided.

Detailed Description

Fig. 1 shows schematically in a side view a part of a weaving machine with a frame 2, a sley 3 carrying springs 4, and a fabric support 1 mounted to the frame 2 of the weaving machine.

The weaving machine is an air jet weaving machine, in which, during weaving, a weft thread (not shown) is inserted into a weaving shed formed by warp threads (not shown) by means of an air flow in the U-shaped insertion channel 5 of the reed 4, which air flow transports the weft thread through the U-shaped insertion channel 5. This air flow is generated by a main nozzle (not shown) and several relay nozzles (not shown) which are arranged one after the other in the insertion direction along the U-shaped insertion channel 5. In the embodiment shown, the auxiliary nozzle 6 is mounted on the sley 3. The auxiliary nozzle 6 is, for example, a drawing nozzle arranged at the arrival side of the insert, as shown, for example, in WO 2015/177155 A1. In the embodiment shown, the auxiliary nozzle 6 is arranged on a holder 7 with a tongue 8 which is inserted into a groove arranged on a reed beam 9 and clamped between a key 10 and the reed beam 9 for fixing the holder 7 to the sley 3.

A woven fabric (not shown) is supported by a fabric support 1, which comprises several support bed sections 11 and support profiles 12, to which the support bed sections 11 are mounted, said fabric support 1 being described in more detail below. The fabric support 1 comprises an elongated guiding element 13 arranged at the distal end into the U-shaped insertion channel 5. In the embodiment shown, the support profile 12 has an auxiliary support section 18 which extends in the longitudinal direction of the support profile 12 and is arranged in front of the elongated guide element 13 for supporting the woven fabric at a distance from the beat-up line in the pulling direction of the woven fabric. The fabric support 1 is mounted on the frame 2 and fastened with fastening screws (not shown) relative to the grooves 31 of the frame 2. As shown in fig. 1, during beating-up, the sley 3 with the reed 4, and the auxiliary nozzle 6 are moved towards the fabric support 1, wherein the support bed section 11 is formed such that interference between the fabric support 1 and the auxiliary nozzle 6 is avoided.

The fabric support 1 will be described in more detail with reference to fig. 2 to 12.

Fig. 2 is a perspective view of an end of a fabric support 1 with a support profile 12, several (in the embodiment shown, ten) support table sections 11, and an elongated guide element 13. The support profile 12 has an elongated base section 14 adapted to be fastened to the frame 2 of the weaving machine (see fig. 1), and a support table section 15 integrally formed with the elongated base section 14.

As shown in fig. 3, the length L15 of the support table section 15 is shorter than the length L14 of the elongated base section 14, and the support table section 11 is attached to the elongated base section 14 of the support profile 12 in a position offset to the support table section 15 in the longitudinal direction of the support profile 12. In the embodiment shown, each support table section 11 is mounted to the elongated base section 14 by means of two fastening screws 16.

As best seen in fig. 11, the support table sections 11 are each provided with an opening 37 and the support table sections 15 are provided with openings 17, wherein, if possible, relay nozzles, auxiliary nozzles or other elements attached to the sley 3 (see fig. 1) of the weaving machine are arranged in the region of the

openings

17, 37 for avoiding interference with the fabric support 1 at the beat-up and for allowing the elements to move through or into these openings during beat-up.

In the embodiment shown, the cantilever portions 23 of the support bed section 11 are each provided with two openings 37, so that three ribs 38 are formed, which are offset in the longitudinal direction of the textile support 1. In other embodiments, more than two openings 37 or only one opening 37 is provided. Similarly, the cantilever portion 21 of the support table section 15 is provided with an opening 17 such that a plurality of ribs 39 are formed.

As best seen in fig. 2, the length of the auxiliary support section 18 is at least substantially the same as the length L14 of the elongate base section 14. In order to ensure guiding without friction or with low friction, an elongated auxiliary guiding element 19 is mounted to the auxiliary support section 18.

Fig. 4 is an exploded side view of the fabric support 1 and fig. 5 is a side view of the fabric support 1, which comprises a support profile 12, a support table section 11, an elongated guiding element 13 mounted to the support profile 12 and the support table section 11, and an elongated auxiliary guiding element 19.

As shown in fig. 4 and 5, the support table section 15 includes a protruding lip portion 20 disposed at its distal end, and an adjacent cantilever portion 21, the cantilever portion 21 extending upwardly from the elongate base section 14 and toward the reed 4 (see fig. 1). Similarly, support table segments 11 each include a lip portion 22 disposed at a distal end, and an adjacent cantilever portion 23, wherein, when mounted to elongate base segment 14, cantilever portion 23 of support table segment 11 extends upwardly from elongate base segment 14 and toward leaf spring 4 (see fig. 1).

The support table sections 11 further each comprise a mounting portion 24 which is adapted to mount the support table section 11 to the elongated base section 14.

The lip portion 20 of the support table section 15 and the lip portion 22 of the support table section 11 are at least substantially identical in design, and the

lip portions

20, 22 are aligned with each other when mounting the support table section 11 to the elongated base section 14. In the embodiment shown, the lip portion 22 of the support table section 11 and the lip portion 20 of the support table section 15 each have a flat top surface for mounting the elongated guide element 13.

As best seen in fig. 5, the back side 25 of the cantilever portion 23 of the support table section 11 protrudes less from the elongated base section 14 towards the spring 4 (see fig. 1) than the back side 26 of the cantilever portion 21 of the support table section 15. Due to this design, additional mounting space is provided for elements mounted to the sley 3, such as the auxiliary nozzle 6 shown in fig. 1, and those elements may be arranged in a position behind the support bench section 11, which is not provided with the opening 37 (see fig. 2), or in a position behind the support bench section 11 next to the rib 38 of the cantilever portion 23.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 4, in order to achieve that the back side 25 of the cantilever part 23 of the support table section 11 protrudes less from the elongated base section 14 towards the spring 4, the thickness 27 of the cantilever part 23 of the support table section 11 is partially smaller than the thickness 28 of the cantilever part 21 of the support table section 15. In order to ensure that the support table section 11 has a sufficient stiffness despite the reduced thickness, in one embodiment the support table section 11 is made of a more rigid material than the material of the support profile 12.

The elongated base section 14 is provided with a mounting surface 29 for mounting the elongated base section 14 to the frame 2 of the weaving machine (see fig. 1). A mounting surface 29 is provided at the bottom of the elongated base section 14. At the rear end of the mounting surface 29, a nose piece 30 is provided for aligning the elongated base section 14 with the frame 2. The elongated base section 14 is further provided with an attachment surface 32 to which the support table section 11 is mounted. In the illustrated embodiment, the attachment surface 32 is inclined relative to the mounting surface 29 about an axis parallel to the longitudinal direction of the elongate base section 14. This arrangement allows the attachment surface 32 to be sufficiently large. In the alternative, the attachment surface 32 may be arranged parallel to the mounting surface 29.

In the embodiment shown, the support table section 11 further abuts against an abutment surface 33 of the elongated base section 14, wherein the attachment surface 32 and the abutment surface 33 are set at least substantially perpendicular to each other. The attachment surface 32 and the abutment surface 33 can be machined with high precision, so that the support table section 11 can be attached in place in the longitudinal direction of the elongate base section 14 of the support profile 12 with high precision relative to the elongate base section 14.

The mounting portions 24 are each provided with two through holes 34 (only one visible in fig. 5) for receiving two fastening screws 16 (see fig. 8). Above the through hole 34 there is an almost semicircular cut-out for the head of the screw 16 (see fig. 11 and 12).

In the embodiment shown, the elongated base section 14 is further provided with a groove 35 to which an additional element (not shown), such as an additional guiding element, may be mounted.

Fig. 6, 8 and 12 show in perspective view a part of the support profile 12 of the fabric support 1 before, during and after the mounting of the support table section 11 and the elongated guiding element 13 to the support profile 12, respectively. Fig. 7 shows a top view of fig. 6, and fig. 10 shows a top view of fig. 9.

Fig. 6 shows a section of the support profile 12 of the fabric support 1 from the rear before the mounting of the support bed section 11 in a perspective view. As shown in fig. 6, the length of the support table section 15 is shorter than the length of the elongated base section 14, wherein the elongated base section 14 is machined for forming the attachment surface 32 and the abutment surface 33 in a position offset to the support table section 15 in the longitudinal direction of the support profile 12. The support profile 12 is machined, for example by milling. Further, the attachment surface 32 is provided with a threaded hole 36 for receiving the fastening screw 16 (see fig. 8). The threaded holes 36 can be provided in the attachment surface 32 with high accuracy, so that the support table section 11 can be attached in position with high accuracy with respect to the attachment surface 32.

Fig. 8 and 9 show the parts of the support profile 12 of fig. 6 from the rear, respectively, during and after the mounting of the support table section 11. Fig. 11 shows a part of the support profile of fig. 6 from the front after the mounting of the support table section 11.

As shown in FIGS. 9 and 11, after the support table section 11 is installed, the lip portion 22 of the support table section 11 is aligned with the lip portion 20 of the support table section 15. In the embodiment shown, the lip portion 22 of the support table section 11 and the lip portion 20 of the support table segment 15 are arranged in the longitudinal direction with a gap 40 therebetween. As shown in fig. 2, 3 and 12, after the attachment of the elongated guide profile 13, the gap 40 is bridged.

As shown in fig. 9 to 11, after mounting the support table sections 11, the cantilever portions 23 of adjacent support table sections 11 are arranged with a gap 40 therebetween, wherein elements such as auxiliary nozzles (not shown) mounted to the sley 3 (see fig. 1) can be arranged in the position of the gap 40 or the

openings

17, 37. As explained above, elements such as the auxiliary nozzle 6 (see fig. 1) may also be arranged at the level of the position of the rib 38 due to the additional installation space provided behind the cantilever portion 23.

In the embodiment shown, the support table section 11 is mounted to the support profile 12 only at one side of the support table section 15. In particular, in the embodiment shown in the perspective view of fig. 2, the support table section 11 is arranged at the right side of the support table section 15 of the support profile 12, which is arranged, for example, at the arrival side of an inserted weft thread. In an alternative embodiment, in the perspective view of fig. 2, the support table section 11 is arranged at the left side of the support table section 15 of the support profile 12. In another embodiment, the support table section 11 is arranged between two support table sections 15 of the support profile 12. In a further embodiment, the support table section 11 is mounted in several zones along the width of the elongated base 14 of the support profile 12, which is provided with several support table sections 15 along the width of the elongated base 14 of the support profile 12. To this end, for example, several regions of the support profile 12 are machined for forming the attachment surface 32 for the support table section 11.

Although in the illustrated embodiment, the support table section 11 is fixed to the attachment surface 32 of the elongated base section 14 with screws 16, in alternative embodiments, the support table section 11 may be glued or welded to the attachment surface 32 of the elongated base section 14.
