Definitions

  • the invention relates to a rapier weaving machine with at least a gripper belt that drives a gripper that by means of Fasteners is held and its center of mass lies above the top of the gripper belt, and with a drawer that carries a reed and on the Guide means are attached, the guides for the gripper belt have, with guides on the reed facing away Side of the top of the gripper belt, guides the Bottom of the gripper belt and guides side flanks one downward projecting rib are assigned.
  • a rapier weaving machine of the type mentioned above is used the applicant for the rapier weaving machines currently marketed.
  • the construction corresponds essentially U.S. 5,413,151.
  • a Guide part attached, in the longitudinal center of a gripper attached is.
  • the guide part the width of which is the width of the Corresponds to the rapier belt on the reed facing away A rib protruding downwards.
  • the guide part and the rapier belt are attached to the sley hook-shaped guide means led to reed are open.
  • the hook-shaped guide means have Guides, the top of the guide part and the gripper belt and the underside of the guide part and the Gripper belt are assigned.
  • Another tour is the side surface of the gripper belt facing away from the reed and assigned to the guide part.
  • Guided tours are also provided which guide the rib of the guide part in the transverse direction, so that the guide part is guided on all sides with the gripper is.
  • EP 0 715 009 A1 To the transverse loads of the type according to the US 4,834,146 and the type according to EP 0 709 505 A1, it is known from EP 0 715 009 A1, only the underside to guide the gripper belt by means of guide elements and the gripper in the middle on the top of the gripper belt to arrange.
  • the guide elements engage in a groove on the underside of the gripper belt.
  • the gripper should be designed in this way be that its focus is with the focus of the gripper belt coincides or is still below this. However, it is has not been disclosed how a gripper is designed must be so that its focus in the focus or is below the center of gravity of the gripper belt.
  • the invention has for its object a rapier weaving machine of the type mentioned so that the wear is reduced.
  • the invention is based on the consideration that the main cause Forces are wear, especially when braking and acceleration caused by the gripper head with its center of gravity above the top of the Gripper band lies, so that the forces have the tendency to Gripper belt and, if necessary, an extension of the gripper belt, the gripper-carrying guide part about the longitudinal axis to twist.
  • the invention therefore provides that the guides, which counteract the twisting of the gripper belt, engage the gripper belt with the cheapest possible lever arms, so that the forces acting against twisting are reduced become.
  • this is the one on the top of the Gripper band acting guide, which is then advantageous Acts on the rapier belt when they are over more than a third of the width of the guide part and the gripper belt extends and as far as possible to about the middle.

  • the weaving machine shown in Fig. 1 has two side parts 1, 2 in which a sley 3 is stored.
  • the drawer 3 is provided on both sides with drives 4, 5, by means of which drives them to move back and forth is.
  • a reed 6 is arranged on the sley 3 by means of which registered weft threads struck the goods edge become.
  • the weft threads are made in a known manner by means of a donor gripper 7 and a slave gripper 8 introduced into a shed.
  • the encoder gripper 7 takes over on one side Weaving machine in a known manner and transported to about the middle of the loom, i.e. in the Middle of a shed. There it is picked up by the slave gripper 8 which then took him to the opposite side the loom brings.
  • the encoder gripper 7 and the slave gripper 8 are each driven by a gripper belt 9, the slave gripper 8 and the encoder gripper 7 each in an open Push the shed in and pull out again.

  • the gripper belts 9 are in the area of the side parts 1, 2 guided by means of stationary guides 10, 11.
  • the gripper belts, which have a row of holes in their longitudinal center, are driven by gears 12, 13 which they wrap around. They are circumferential by means of guide blocks 14 the gears 12, 13 held.
  • the gears 12, 13 are driven by means of drives 15, 16 resulting rotary motion driven.
  • the drives 15, 16 are synchronized with the drives 4, 5 of the sley 3.
  • the encoder gripper 7 and the slave gripper 8 are on guide parts 17, 18 arranged, each at the front ends the gripper belts 9 are attached.
  • the guide parts 17, 18 are designed in such a way that - apart from one to be explained Rib - correspond to the cross section of the gripper belts 9.
  • the thread guide means 19, 20 are in the longitudinal direction of the Shed 21 so narrow that it is between the Warp threads of the lower warp thread sheet 23 can pass through.
  • the guide means 19, 20 from the shed 21 through the lower warp thread sheet 23 is moved out. Will the reed 6 again in that shown in Fig. 3 with solid lines Moved back position, so the guide means penetrate 19, 20 again the lower warp thread sheet 23 and enter the Shed 21 a.
  • the shed 21 changed, with at least part of the Warp threads of the upper warp thread sheet 22 downwards and at least a part of the warp threads of the lower warp thread family 23 be moved upwards.
  • the encoder gripper 7 and the slave gripper 8 attached to guide parts 17, 18, which in aligned extension of the gripper belts 9 are arranged. 2 to 5 there is only one encoder gripper 7 with its Guide part 17 shown. Since the guide part 18 of the master gripper 8 is mirror image identical, the description applies of the guide part 17 also for the guide part 18.
  • the guide member 17 and the guide means 19, 20 are in the The following explains in particular with reference to FIG. 4.
