Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a loom comb and a method of making such a comb.
  • the weft yarns In the field of weaving, the weft yarns must be pressed, shortly after insertion into the shed, against the fabric already produced, in order to confer a satisfactory regularity on the fabric produced.
  • a loom In the field of weaving, the weft yarns must be pressed, shortly after insertion into the shed, against the fabric already produced, in order to confer a satisfactory regularity on the fabric produced.
  • a comb mounted on a flap with a fast reciprocating movement allowing the comb to come beat the weft son.
  • Such a comb is formed by the juxtaposition and assembly of teeth, the space between each pair of adjacent teeth being intended for the passage of one or more warp son. It is necessary to have a precise positioning of the teeth relative to each other so as not to generate appearance defects in the fabric.
  • DE-A-2 127 209 describes a loom comb in which the positioning of the teeth is obtained by inserting each end of a tooth between two turns of a spring. The ends of the teeth thus positioned are capped, with their positioning springs, by U-section profiles, the cohesion of the assembly being ensured by the introduction of glue into the profiles.
  • the spacing of the teeth is determined by the diameter of the constituent wire of each positioning spring.
  • the accuracy of the positioning of the teeth depends on the quality of the springs. In particular, a local variation in the diameter of the constituent wire of the springs is likely to cause a spacing error between two teeth and to create a shift on all subsequent teeth.
  • US-A-2 914 094 discloses a loom comb comprising, on a portion of the comb, a U-shaped member for receiving an end of each of the teeth of the comb portion.
  • the U-section member comprises two L-section portions each having, on the vertical bar of the L, grooves intended to be directed towards the inside of the U.
  • the relative positioning of the teeth is obtained by inserting the end of each tooth laterally in grooves of the L-section portions.
  • the teeth of the comb portion are removable and the two L-section portions are immobilized against the lateral edges of the teeth and one relative to the other. other by means of a bolt system. Therefore, the method of manufacturing this comb portion is relatively complex, and difficult to implement in an automated manner.
  • the invention more particularly intends to remedy by proposing a loom comb that can be obtained by an automated manufacturing method and for which the positioning of the teeth is precise and easily modifiable, with a view to a variation in the density of the teeth.
  • the subject of the invention is a comb of a loom, comprising at least one U-shaped cross-section profile and a row of teeth oriented transversely to the profile, one end of each tooth being received in the profile, characterized in that the profile has internal grooves formed on at least one of the two branches of the U, transversely to a longitudinal axis of the profile, and in that the aforesaid end of each tooth is inserted laterally into at least one groove of the profile, the comb comprising an adhesive material which secures the aforementioned end of each tooth with the profile.
  • the loom comb 1 shown in FIG. figure 1 is intended to equip a weaving loom type ribbon framer.
  • the comb 1 comprises a profile 3 with a U-shaped cross-section and a row of teeth 5 identical to each other, oriented substantially perpendicular to the profile 3.
  • the profile 3 is intended for the assembly of the teeth 5 and covers a first end 51 of each tooth 5.

  • each groove 39 is of V cross section, the two grooves 39 of a pair of grooves being identical.
  • the depth h of the grooves 39 may vary from one groove to another, as can the pitch p between two consecutive grooves 39 of one and the same branch 31 of the profile 3.
  • the figure 4 shows first and second sets of pairs of grooves 39 of the profile 3, in which the depth h of each groove 39 has respectively a first value h 1 and a second value h 2 , while the pitch p between two consecutive grooves 39 of a branch 31 has respectively a value p 1 in the first series and a value p 2 in the second series.
  • Each branch 31 of the profile 3 comprises an internal clearance 37 in the vicinity of the bottom 33 of the profile.
  • Each groove 39 of a branch 31 of the section 3 extends between this clearance 37 and the free edge 35 of the branch 31.
