Provided, furthermore, are means (10) for preventing an unintentional removal of the heald rods. The positional relationship between the device and the heald drive in a loom ensures that the heald rods (1) not required execute a lifting movement while the loom is in operation. <IMAGE>

Description

Die vorliegende Vorrichtung betrifft eine Vorrichtung gemäss dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1 sowie eine Webmaschine mit einer solchen Vorrichtung.The present device relates to a device according to the preamble of claim 1 and a weaving machine with such a device.

Bei der Fachbildung nicht verwendete Schaftstangen werden bekanntlich zur Seite geschwenkt, wobei die Schaftstangen entweder lose am Gestell anliegen oder ausschliesslich vom Kniehebel des Schafttriebes gehalten werden.As is known, shaft rods that are not used in the shed formation are pivoted to the side, the shaft rods either lying loosely against the frame or being held exclusively by the toggle lever of the shaft drive.

Daraus ergeben sich die Nachteile, dass die Schaftstangen unterhalb der Webschäfte stilliegen bzw. durch die Kniehebel zwar auf und ab bewegt werden, aber eine Relativbewegung zwischen Schaftstange und Kniehebel nicht auftritt. Dies führt einerseits dazu, dass Standschäden im Gelenk zwischen Schaftstange und Kniehebel unvermeidbar sind.This results in the disadvantages that the shaft rods rest below the heald frames or are moved up and down by the toggle levers, but there is no relative movement between the shaft rod and the toggle lever. On the one hand, this means that standing damage in the joint between the shaft rod and toggle lever is unavoidable.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung zur Aufnahme von Schaftstangen zu schaffen, die die Schaftstangen beweglich in einer definierten Lage hält.The present invention has for its object to a device for receiving shaft rods create that keeps the shaft rods movable in a defined position.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäss mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruches 1 gelöst.This object is achieved according to the invention with the characterizing features of claim 1.

Eine Webmaschine mit einer Vorrichtung gemäss Anspruch 1 ist erfindungsgemäss durch die Merkmale des Anspruches 8 gekennzeichnet.A loom with a device according to claim 1 is characterized according to the invention by the features of claim 8.

Mit dieser Anordnung ist das Auftreten von Standschäden vermeidbar.With this arrangement, the occurrence of standing damage can be avoided.

Vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den abhängigen Patentansprüchen.Advantageous embodiments of the invention result from the dependent patent claims.

Im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand der beiliegenden Zeichnungen erläutert.The invention is explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Mit der hier in Rede stehenden Vorrichtung werden die zur Fachbildung nicht benötigten Schaftstangen in einer definierten Lage gehalten.With the device in question, the shaft rods that are not required for the formation of a compartment are held in a defined position.

Die Figur 1 zeigt eine stillgelegte Schaftstange und eine betriebsbereite Schaftstange, und Figur 2 zeigt lediglich eine stillgelegte Schaftstange. Die Schaftstange 1 enthält einen Kupplungsteil 2 einer Schaftkupplung, einen Stab 3, an dem einerseits der Kupplungsteil 2 und andererseits ein Gelenk 4 befestigt sind. Zur Befestigung des Kupplungsteiles 2 und des Gelenkes 4 wird mit Vorteil eine Schraubverbindung gewählt. Die Schaftstange 1 ist über das Gelenk 4 mit einem Kniehebel 5 drehbeweglich verbunden, der Teil eines nicht dargestellten Schaftantriebes ist.FIG. 1 shows a shaft rod which has been shut down and a shaft rod which is ready for operation, and FIG. 2 shows only a shaft rod which has been shut down. The shaft rod 1 contains a coupling part 2 of a shaft coupling, a rod 3, on which the coupling part 2 and on the other hand a joint 4 are fastened. A screw connection is advantageously selected for fastening the coupling part 2 and the joint 4. The shaft rod 1 is rotatably connected via the joint 4 to a toggle lever 5 which is part of a shaft drive, not shown.

Bei der in Fig.1 gezeigten Ausführungsform enthält die Vorrichtung einen länglichen Körper 8, der an einer Längsseite mit einer Anzahl von Schlitzen 9 versehen ist, die in gleichbleibenden Abständen in einer Reihe liegend angeordnet sind, und eine Abschlussleiste 10, die am Körper 8 lösbar angebracht ist und die Schlitze 9 abschliesst, um die Schaftstangen 1 zu halten.In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the device contains an elongated body 8, which is provided on one longitudinal side with a number of slots 9, which are arranged in a row at constant intervals, and an end strip 10, which is detachable on the body 8 is attached and closes the slots 9 to hold the shaft rods 1.

Bei der in den Fig.2 und 3 gezeigten Ausführungsform besteht die Vorrichtung aus einem länglichen Körper 11, der an einer Längsseite einen Abschnitt 12 mit einer Anzahl von Ausnehmungen 13 aufweist. Bei der dargestellten Ausführungsform ist der Abschnitt 12 einstückig mit dem Körper 11 ausgebildet. Es wird darauf hingewiesen, dass Abschnitt 12 als separates Teils ausgebildet und mit geeigneten Mitteln am Körper 11 befestigt werden kann.In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the device consists of an elongated body 11 which has a section 12 with a number of recesses 13 on one longitudinal side. In the illustrated embodiment, section 12 is formed in one piece with body 11. It is pointed out that section 12 can be formed as a separate part and can be attached to body 11 by suitable means.

Die Ausnehmung 13 ist durch zwei frei abstehende Stege 14, 15 begrenzt, die elastisch sind. Um die Auslenkung der Stege 14, 15 zu ermöglichen, ist zwischen den die benachbarten Ausnehmungen 13 begrenzenden Wandteilen 15, 14 jeweils ein Schlitz 16 vorgesehen. Die Stege 14, 15 weisen an ihrem freien Ende eine Wulst 17 auf, die zur Ausnehmung 13 gerichtet ist und sich über die Breite des Steges 14, 15 erstreckt. Durch die Wülste 17 wird eine Öffnungsweite gebildet, die kleiner als der Stabquerschnitt ist, so dass der Stab 3 (gestrichelt dargestellt) nicht unbeabsichtigt aus der Ausnehmung 13 entfernbar ist.The recess 13 is delimited by two freely projecting webs 14, 15 which are elastic. In order to enable the deflection of the webs 14, 15, a slot 16 is provided in each case between the wall parts 15, 14 delimiting the adjacent recesses 13. The webs 14, 15 have at their free end a bead 17 which is directed towards the recess 13 and extends over the width of the web 14, 15. Through the beads 17 there is an opening width formed, which is smaller than the rod cross section, so that the rod 3 (shown in dashed lines) is not inadvertently removable from the recess 13.

Während die Ausführungsform gemäss Fig.1 für eine manuelle Ablage der Schaftstangen gedacht ist, eignet sich die Ausführungsform gemäss Fig.2 und 3 für ein automatisches Zu- und Wegführen der Schaftstangen beim Schaftwechsel.While the embodiment according to FIG. 1 is intended for manual storage of the shaft rods, the embodiment according to FIGS. 2 and 3 is suitable for automatic feeding and removal of the shaft rods when changing the shaft.
