2 Claims. (01.139-a92) Thi invention relates to heddle bar supports.
In heddle frames for loom harness, the heddlesare mounted on a pair of parallel bars supported between the sides of the frame and certain of the he-ddles'now muse-have substantially C=sha-pd "ends "whichengage over the heddle bars. "Thehecldle-bars are secured to--supporting'membersby screws which'are in line -with the p-peningsin the heddle ends, but under-vibration these screws frequently become loose and cause damage'to the "fabric. a It is, therefore, an object of this invention to provide a support for a heddle bar which can be adjusted at any point along the frame and embodies alatched hook formed of thin metal so" that the adjacent heddles will not be bunched or dislocated, and, if desired several of the supports may be used along the length of the bar.
Another object of this invention is to provide a heddle bar or rod support which can be used on either metal or wooden frames of the type at present in use.
With the above and other object in view, my invention consists in the arrangement, combination and details of construction disclosed in the drawings and specification, and then more particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
In the drawing,
Figure 1 is a fragmentary detail front elevation of a heddle frame having a heddle bar supporting means constructed according to an embodiment of this invention mounted thereon,
Figure 2 is a fragmentary sectional view taken on the line 2-2 of Figure 1,
Figure 3 is a fragmentary end elevation of the supporting means,
Figure 4 isa fragmentary sectional view taken on the line 4-4 of Figure 3,
Figure 5 is a sectional View showing a modified form of heddle bar support.
Referring to the drawing, the numeral It designates generally a heddle frame which has extending thereacross a pair of heddle supporting bars H, one of such bars being here shown. It will be understood that the heddle frame Ill isof rectangular configuration and includes upper and lower frame bars [2 and upper and lower supporting bars I I.
A plurality of heddles [3 are adapted to be disposed between the heddle supporting bars H and each heddle is formed with a substantially C-shaped head I t at each end thereof through which the supporting bar H is adapted to loosely engage.
In order to provide a means whereby the supporting bafr l -i-- will be held against longitudinal bending" r'have provi ded abar supporting means generally"designated-as "l 5. The' bar supporting means i5 includes a strap o-rbar 1-5 formed with a C-shaped pe'ning llhaving 'a'lower bill 18 formed integral therewith. The-bar or strip H5 at its outer end is formed-with a right angular extension 29 which is adapted-to be fixed to the bightii't of-"a L-Js-h-a-ped slide ill 'by" fastening meansEZf a Y 'The sl ide-iil, as shown=in Figure'3, is formed with substantially'T-shaped slots 23 in-the parallellegs it thereof, and a T-shapedg'uide bar 25 isseeured in any suitable mannerto it-he hedd'le frame member 'l'2,--with' the flanged head thereof innermost-"and the legs '24 of the slide 2! loosely engaging the flanges 26 of the T-bar 25.
The supporting member It also includes a spring-pressed pivoted outer bill 21 which is carried by a U-shaped member 28 pivoted on pivot members 29 carried by the outer portion of the bar or strap It. The ivoted bill 21 is constantly urged to latching or operative position by means of a flat bowed spring 36 which engages within the U-shaped member 28 and is secured by fastening means 3| to the bight 2i) of the slide 2!. By providing the latching bill 21 the heddle bar H can be readily disengaged, from the support 15 without pulling the bar endwise completely through the heddle frame.
Referring now to Figure 5, there is disclosed a modified form of this invention wherein the heddle bar is supported from a supporting means adapted to be screwed into the frame bar I2. In the present instance the C-shaped support bar or strap l6a is constructed similar to the strap l6 and is provided with a spring-pressed latching bill 21a. The shank 32 of the bar or strap Ilia, is formed at the upper end thereof with a screw shank 33 which is adapted to be screwed into an adjacent heddle frame member lza. The latching bill 270, is constantly urged to latching position by means of a bowed spring 30a which in the present instance ha the outer end thereof secured by means of a screw or other fastening means 34 to the inner edge of the frame member [2a.
With a heddle bar supporting means as shown in Figures 1 to 4 inclusive, the supporting means may be adjusted to any point along the length of the heddle bar H, and inasmuch as the bar supporting strap or member E6 is formed of relatively thin metal, the supporting member when in applied position will not space the adjacent 3 heddles 13 an undue distance apart so as to thereby affect the character of the fabric which is being woven. It will be understood that the supporting hook or strap 16 may be formed of tempered metal so that it can be made of sumcient thin material to eliminate undue spacing of the heddles. When it is desired to remove the heddles from the heddle bar or to adjust the spacing thereof, the heddle bar H may be rocked forwardly as viewed in Figure 1, with the latching bill 21 swung upwardly to released position. The structure shown in Figures 1 to 4 inclusive may be used with either metal heddle frames or combined wood and metal frames, whereas the structure shown in Figure 5 is designed for use with wooden heddle frames. The structure shown in Figure 5 can be easily and quickly mounted on the present structure of wooden heddle frames for firmly supporting the heddle bar, and it will be understood that one or more of these supporting members may be mounted in the heddle frame so as to support the heddle bar in proper position within the heddle frame.
I do not mean to confine myself to the exact details of construction herein disclosed, but claim all variations falling within the purview of the appended claims.
What I claim is 1. In a heddle frame structure having a frame member, a pair of heddle bars and heddles disposed between and engaging the bars; a supporting means for the heddle bars, said supporting means comprising a strap formed with a C- shaped opening in which the heddle bar is adapted to engage, a U-shaped slide member fixed at the bight thereof to said strap, the legs of said amass slide member being formed with T-shaped slots, and a T-shaped bar fixed to said frame and engageable with said slide member.
2. In a heddle frame structure having a frame member, a pair of heddle bars and heddles disposed between and engaging the bars; a supporting means for the heddle bars, said supporting means comprising a strap formed with a C- shaped opening in which the heddle bar is adapted to engage, said strap including a springpressed latching bill, a right angular extension carried by said strap, a U-shaped slide fixed at the bight thereof to said extension and having T-shaped slots in the ends of the legs thereof, and a T-shaped guide fixed to said frame with which said slide is adapted to engage.
