Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a drawing gripper for weaving looms specifically designed to achieve a steady grip of double weft threads, i.e. consisting of two individual weft yarns which are associated and introduced simultaneously in the shed formed of warp threads to manufacture special fabrics.
  • weft transportation across the shed is, as known, accomplished by a pair of cooperating grippers, called carrying gripper and drawing gripper, respectively, which are controlled in an alternate movement through the shed. More precisely, the path of the carrying gripper unfolds between the weft entry side and the middle of the shed, whereas the one of the drawing gripper unfolds, correspondingly, between the weft output side and the middle of the shed.
  • the weft thread is picked up within the gripping means by the gripper (carrying and drawing gripper, respectively) in a closed position, thanks to the combination of forces originating from the translation movement of the grippers and from the resistance imparted by the weft thread which is optimally taut on the path of the grippers.
  • weft exchange which occurs between the pair of carrying/drawing grippers in the middle of the shed; as a matter of fact, unlike the initial weft thread gripping operation by the carrying gripper, wherein the thread is stationary in a predetermined fixed position and especially free from any impediment, in the case of the weft exchange the weft thread is not only obviously moving, but it is also steadily retained by the gripping means of the carrying gripper.
  • the gripping of the weft thread by the drawing gripper must hence be sufficiently swift and stable, on both the yarns making up the double weft thread, so as to free the weft thread from the gripping means of the carrying gripper without causing harmful mutual sliding of the two yarns forming the same.
  • the double weft threads are used for the formation of fabrics having special technical or aesthetic features, such as for example those intended for soft furnishings or sportswear.
  • the two weft threads have remarkably different features, in particular as far as their count is concerned; the association between a bulky yarn apt to give the fabric particular aesthetic features and thin, high-resistance yarns which instead give the fabric the necessary stability from a mechanical point of view is common for example.
  • weft exchange operation between the carrying gripper and the drawing gripper is particularly critical when double weft threads are used.
  • the gripping device of the drawing gripper it is not infrequent for the gripping device of the drawing gripper to steadily tighten only the weft thread having the higher count, while the thinner weft thread is not suitably retained, so that the tension imparted to the two weft threads is different, causing weaving irregularities due to the partial mutual sliding of the two threads or even to the complete breakage of either of them.
  • a drawing gripper for weaving looms of the type wherein the weft thread gripping device consists of the coupling between a fixed surface formed in the inner part of the gripper hook and inclined with respect to the shifting direction of the gripper, and the mobile surface of a wedge carried on the front end of a longitudinal rod housed in the gripper and movable in an axial direction with respect thereto, said rod being driven in an open position of the gripping device, in contrast with spring means provided on the gripper, by lever means cooperating with fixed outer abutments arranged on the loom, characterised in that it further comprises a flexible metal plate arranged, with a free front portion thereof, in contact with the upper edge of at least one of the cooperating surfaces of said gripping device, and apt to impart an elastic pressure force thereon.
  • the drawing gripper comprises, in a manner well-known per se to people skilled in the field, a gripper body 1 ending at the front in a tip 2.
  • a hook 3 is attached integrally therewith having a planar gripping surface 4 facing the inside of the gripper.
  • Surface 4 lies on a plane which, in the illustrated embodiment, is substantially vertical and moderately inclined with respect to the longitudinal axis of the gripper, for example by an angle comprised between 15° and 30°.
  • the inner surface 4 of hook 3 represents, in known-type drawing grippers, one of the two elements of the weft thread gripping device, the other element consisting of a wedge 5, equipped with a movable gripping surface 6 facing hook 3, and of an opposite surface resting on gripper body 1.
  • Wedge 5 is carried on the front end of a rod 7 movable in a longitudinal direction along gripper body 1, the movement whereof is caused in one direction by spring means (not shown) which elastically push rod 7 towards gripper tip 2 and, in the opposite direction, by a lever (not shown) having its fulcrum on gripper body 1 and apt to cooperate with fixed outer abutments arranged on the loom.
  • the control lever of rod 7 When the drawing gripper lies within the shed, the control lever of rod 7 is not operated and the spring means thereby constantly keep gripping surface 6 of wedge 5 in contact with the corresponding gripping surface 4 of hook 3, while the opposite wedge resting surface abuts against the inner wall of gripper body 1, the tightening force between gripping surfaces 4 and 6 being able to be set at will by varying features and preload of the spring means.
  • the control lever of rod 7 is operated by the fixed abutment means on the loom, by moving the rod in contrast with the action of the above-said spring means and thereby opening the gripping device of the gripper.
  • the gripping surface 6 of wedge 5 also consists of a plane surface arranged according to a vertical plane, however having an inclination angle to the longitudinal axis of the gripper slightly smaller than that of surface 4. Thereby, the two surfaces come into contact only in the front area thereof leaving an empty channel having a width increasing towards the rear part of the gripper, which channel the weft thread enters upon exchange with the carrying gripper.
  • hook 3 and wedge 5 preferably have their upper surfaces formed so as to lie on a single, substantially horizontal plane, whereon the free front portion of plate 8 hence rests.
  • the intensity of the elastic retaining action played by flexible plate 8 can be predetermined at will according to the material, form and thickness features of the same plate, as well as to the corresponding attachment system, according to different possible ways, all well-known to people skilled in the field and hence included in the scope of the present invention.
  • One of the various possible embodiments of flexible plate 8 is shown in the drawings and will be described in the following.
  • plate 8 comprises, in addition to operative front portion 8p already described above, lying in a substantially horizontal position, a vertical rear portion 8f laterally adjacent to rod 7 and fastened to the same by means of a screw 9.
  • plate 8 On the opposite side of screw 9, with respect to portion 8p, plate 8 finally has a short extension 8t, perpendicular to portion 8f and preferably lying in the same plane as portion 8p, said portion 8t having a thickness and a length such as to lie in contact with the upper side of rod 7 along the entire width thereof.
  • the desired preload level of operative portion 8b of plate 8, i.e. the elastic force imparted thereby on the plane formed by hook 3 and by wedge 5, is determined by the geometric conformation of the plate and, in particular, by the thickness and by the free length of portion 8p.
  • the front end of plate 8 has a characteristic, asymmetric fork-shape, clearly visible in figs. 2 and 4, comprising a longer inner prong 10 and a shorter outer prong 11.
  • Prong 10 hence extends mainly above wedge 5 and on the front part of the edge of hook 3, up to near sliding groove 12 of the weft thread, while prong 11 extends instead mainly on the central portion of the upper surface of hook 3.
  • the two prongs 10 and 11 are finally mutually connected so as to form a slight depression or concavity 13, the edge joining said depression to the tip of prong 10 being substantially parallel to the underlying gripping channel.
  • This particular shape of the front end of plate 8 has been designed to guarantee the maintenance of a secure gripping of the weft thread also in the particular dynamic conditions in which the weft exchange takes place.
  • the double weft thread - taut within the carrying gripper - is captured by hook 3 and led into the gripping channel formed between the opposing gripping surfaces 4 and 6, as already said above.
  • the weft thread - still retained by the gripping means of the carrying gripper - slides along the outer edge of prong 11, overcoming the tip thereof, until it places itself in correspondence of depression 13.
  • the drawing gripper then undergoes a fast acceleration beginning the return path to its starting position outside the shed, and it is precisely in this step that the particular asymmetric fork-shape of the end of plate 8 plays its role.
  • the sharp acceleration of the gripper may cause a whip-effect on the weft thread which is projected in the direction of advancement of the gripper, overcoming the gripper and originating loops.
  • the weft thread hence momentarily undergoes a force facing the output direction of the gripping channel, which force can hence cause the disengagement of the one weft thread, between the two, which is retained only or mainly by the action of plate 8.
