Description

On sait que dans les dispositifs de formation de la foule d'un métier à tisser, on dispose de crochets qui sont élevés et abaissés au moyen de deux cadres portant des couteaux d'actionnement desdits crochets et qu'on appelle dans le domaine considéré des cadres de griffes.It is known that in the crowd training devices of a loom, there are hooks which are raised and lowered by means of two frames carrying knives for actuating said hooks and which are called in the field considered claw frames.

Les perfectionnements qui font l'objet de la présente invention s'appliquent plus spécialement, bien que non exclusivement, à un mécanisme de commande des cadres de griffes d'un dispositif de formation de la foule pour un métier à ruban.The improvements which are the subject of the present invention apply more particularly, although not exclusively, to a mechanism for controlling the claw frames of a crowd forming device for a ribbon loom.

Un mécanisme de commande du mouvement de va et vient des deux cadres de griffes d'un métier à tisser est connu, par exemple, du document DE-C-899 929 ainsi que CH-A- 433 139.A mechanism for controlling the movement back and forth of the two claw frames of a loom is known, for example, from document DE-C-899 929 as well as CH-A-433 139.

Un dispositif de formation de la foule pour un métier à ruban doit présenter un encombrement le plus faible possible en longueur de manière à diminuer l'encombrement général et les masses en mouvement.A shedding device for a ribbon loom must have the smallest possible overall dimensions so as to reduce the overall overall dimensions and the masses in motion.

A cet effet, le mécanisme de commande suivant l'invention comprend de chaque côté de son bâti, au moins un ensemble composé d'une part un premier levier articulé à ce bâti par l'une de ses extrémités et à l'un des cadres de griffes par son extrémité opposée, tandis que ledit levier est associé à une commande à mouvement alternatif et d'autre part un second levier dont les extrémités sont articulées respectivement audit cadre de griffes et au bâti afin que ce dernier, les deux leviers et le cadre constituent un quadrilatère déformable. La distance séparant les axes d'articulation des deux leviers au bâti peut être supérieure à l'écartement entre leurs axes d'articulation au cadre afin de communiquer à celui-ci un mouvement tel qu'en position haute il se trouve orienté obliquement par rapport à sa position basse.To this end, the control mechanism according to the invention comprises on each side of its frame, at least one assembly composed on the one hand of a first lever articulated to this frame by one of its ends and to one of the frames of claws by its opposite end, while said lever is associated with a reciprocating control and on the other hand a second lever whose ends are articulated respectively to said frame of claws and to the frame so that the latter, the two levers and the frame constitute a deformable quadrilateral. The distance separating the axes of articulation of the two levers to the frame can be greater than the spacing between their axes of articulation to the frame in order to communicate to the latter a movement such that in the high position it is oriented obliquely relative to at its low position.

Le dessin annexé, donné à titre d'exemple, permettra de mieux comprendre l'invention, les caractéristiques qu'elle présente et les avantages qu'elle est susceptible de procurer :

  • La figure unique du dessin illustre en élévation un dispositif de formation de la foule d'un métier à tisser, comportant un mécanisme de commande des cadres de griffes établi suivant l'invention.
The appended drawing, given by way of example, will allow a better understanding of the invention, the characteristics which it presents and the advantages which it is capable of providing:
  • The single figure of the drawing illustrates in elevation a device for forming the crowd of a weaving loom, comprising a mechanism for controlling the claw frames established according to the invention.

On a illustré sur cette figure, un dispositif de formation de la foule d'un métier à tisser réalisé sous la forme d'une mécanique d'armure du type Jacquard comprenant un bâti 1 à l'intérieur duquel se déplacent deux cadres de griffes 2 dont un seul a été représenté pour simplifier le dessin. Chacun des cadres de griffes comporte une multiplicité de couteaux, non représentés, destinés à coopérer avec des crochets associés aux lisses qui commandent les différentes arcades. Etant donné qu'un tel dispositif de formation de la foule est bien connu dans la pratique, il n'est pas utile de le décrire plus en détail.Is illustrated in this figure, a device for forming the crowd of a loom made in the form of a weaving mechanism of the Jacquard type comprising a frame 1 inside which move two claw frames 2 only one of which has been shown to simplify the drawing. Each of the claw frames comprises a multiplicity of knives, not shown, intended to cooperate with hooks associated with the healds which control the various arches. Since such a crowd training device is well known in practice, it is not worth describing it in more detail.

Conformément à l'invention, le mécanisme de commande de chacun des cadres de griffes est disposé de part et d'autre du bâti 1, de telle sorte que chaque cadre de griffes se trouve en porte-à-faux par rapport à son mécanisme de commande. Cette disposition est rendue possible par le fait que la largeur du bâti 1 est faible lorsqu'on a affaire à des mécaniques destinées à la fabrication de rubans étroits sur un métier à tisser.According to the invention, the control mechanism of each of the claw frames is arranged on either side of the frame 1, so that each claw frame is cantilevered relative to its mechanism ordered. This arrangement is made possible by the fact that the width of the frame 1 is small when dealing with mechanics intended for the manufacture of narrow ribbons on a loom.

Le bâti 1 est traversé par un arbre de commande 3 tournant en synchronisme avec celui de commande du métier. Cet arbre dépasse de chaque côté du bâti pour porter un excentrique 4. Chaque excentrique constitue un maneton autour duquel est montée à rotation la tête d'une bielle 5 dont le pied est articulé sur un axe 6 solidaire du sommet d'un levier 7 de forme générale triangulaire. L'une des extrémités du levier 7 est articulée par rapport au bâti 1 autour d'un axe 8, tandis que son extrémité opposée est articulée au cadre 2 par l'intermédiaire d'un axe 9. Le cadre 2 est encore relié au bâti par un second levier 10 dont l'axe d'articulation 11 surce levier se trouve à une distance d en dessous de l'axe d'articulation 9 du levier 7 et qui est différente de celle D séparant l'axe 8 de l'axe 12 de pivotement du levier 10 par rapport au bâti 1. L'ensemble des deux leviers 7 et 10 constitue par conséquent un quadrilatère déformable.The frame 1 is crossed by a control shaft 3 rotating in synchronism with that of the trade control. This shaft protrudes on each side of the frame to carry an eccentric 4. Each eccentric constitutes a crank pin around which is rotatably mounted the head of a connecting rod 5 whose foot is articulated on an axis 6 secured to the top of a lever 7 of general triangular shape. One of the ends of the lever 7 is articulated relative to the frame 1 around an axis 8, while its opposite end is articulated to the frame 2 by means of an axis 9. The frame 2 is still connected to the frame by a second lever 10 whose articulation axis 11 on this lever is at a distance d below the articulation axis 9 of the lever 7 and which is different from that D separating the axis 8 from the axis 12 for pivoting the lever 10 relative to the frame 1. The assembly of the two levers 7 and 10 therefore constitutes a deformable quadrilateral.

Lors de la rotation de l'arbre 3, la bielle 5 provoque un pivotement du levier 7 autour de l'axe 8. Du fait de la présence du levier 10, le cadre 2 se déplace donc de telle manière qu'en position haute, illustrée en traits continus, il se trouve orienté obliquement par rapport à sa position basse montrée en traits discontinus.During the rotation of the shaft 3, the connecting rod 5 causes the lever 7 to pivot about the axis 8. Due to the presence of the lever 10, the frame 2 therefore moves so that in the high position, illustrated in solid lines, it is oriented obliquely to its low position shown in broken lines.

Le débattement angulaire a du levier 7, illustré par les traits mixtes 13, 14 unissant les centres des axes 8 et 9, provoque le déplacement oblique du cadre 2 vers le haut, de telle sorte que les couteaux de ce cadre qui sont disposés suivant le trait mixte 15, se trouvent dans un plan oblique par rapport à celui dans lequel ils sont situés lorsque le cadre 2 est à sa position basse. On obtient ainsi une foule oblique qui est souhaitée à la manière connue pour faciliter le passage des duites.The angular movement a of the lever 7, illustrated by the dashed lines 13, 14 uniting the centers of the axes 8 and 9, causes the oblique displacement of the frame 2 upwards, so that the knives of this frame which are arranged according to the mixed line 15, are in an oblique plane relative to that in which they are located when the frame 2 is in its low position. An oblique crowd is thus obtained which is desired in the known manner to facilitate the passage of picks.

Il va de soi que l'excentrique 4 qui commande le cadre 2 se trouve décalé à 180° par rapport à celui qui commande le second cadre, non représenté, de manière que ces deux organes se déplacent alternativement en sens inverses à la manière connue.It goes without saying that the eccentric 4 which controls the frame 2 is offset 180 ° relative to that which controls the second frame, not shown, so that these two members move alternately in opposite directions in the known manner.

On observe qu'il est possible de prévoir de faire varier les distances d et D de manière à changer l'obliquité de la foule.We observe that it is possible to plan to vary the distances d and D so as to change the obliquity of the crowd.
