Definitions

  • the lever means being adjustable.
  • independent drive means for lifting and lowering every rod are indis pensable, said drive means comprising, e.g. eccentric rotary pins arranged on a common drive shaft traversing the entire width of the wave weaving loom and, usually, double-arm levers insuring the transmission of the rotary movement of the said eccentric pins angularly shifted with respect to one another, and possible angularly shifted cams for the respective shaft rods.
  • Another known apparatus for creating a travellingwave harmoniously repeated shedding movement employs heddles forming the angle of the shed at the end of which the fabric closes, during the deflection of these heddles a shuttle with weft travelling through the shed.
  • the heddles are threaded at least on one wire which is freely flexible and which is gripped at certain intervals by lifting hooks moving forcedly up and down with a phase shift, inducing thewave-like motion of said wire.
  • the reciprocating movement of the lifting hooks is actuated by means of helically threaded control shafts traversing across the looms.
  • the known devices substantially lack the possibility, while some of them preclude it altogether because of their fundamental design factors, of regulating the value of the amplitudes of all wave sheds, to adjust the heights of individual shafts, further to close all shed waves, thus aligning all warp threads in one plane, and last but not least, the possibility of drawing in the warp threads outside the loom, or of exchanging the heddles outside the loom.
  • the present invention avoids all of the abovementioned disadvantages of known devices and methods, while pursuing the aim of creating a simple method of controlling the movement of shaft rods, and while taking fully into consideration the highly important re quirements of weaving technology, so that, for example:
  • the optimum weaving conditions can be adjusted, especially when weaving from different material, by changing the amplitude (height) of the shed wave;
  • all shed waves can be removed, i.e. all warp fell of the just woven can be aligned into one place to enable the warp threads to be machine joined;
  • a part or the entire shedding mechanism can be removed, enabling the warp threads to be more easily drawn in into the eyes of the heddles; this can have a considerable beneficial effect upon the productivity of the weaving loom;
  • the arrangement of secured eccentric pins in the rotary connections of the shedding mechanism permits very precise adjusting of every rod, and consequently also every shaft with respect to one another, in order that the side dead centers of all shafts be identical across the entire width of the warp with respect to the weaving plane;
  • the division of the shedding mechanism into single units facilitates the assembly of the loom, production thereon, and later on also the maintenance of the loom;
  • the presence of one driving cam or one eccentric member in a section serve, in cooperation with a suitable lever means, to actuate all working movements of the shaft rods, and possibly also the movements of the heddles.
  • the countermovement of at least two shaft rods of one section moving in forced opposite directions is actuated by a lever means which is phase shifted with respect to the other sections and reciprocates in accordance with the phase shift; the ratio of arms of the lever means is changeable and the point of tipping-being adjustable; after excluding the cams, while symmetrically limiting the dead center area of the lifting means of shaft rods, the said shaft rods are displaced into alignment.
  • FIG. 1 is a side view of the general embodiment of one section of a first embodiment of the extractable shedding mechanism with a horizontal drive, a control system and mechanism for closing the shed waves;
  • FIG. 2 is a side view of the general embodiment of an alternative extractable shedding mechanism with a vertical drive and a mechanism for closing the shed waves;

  • a second roller 14 is disposed be tween each pair of these cross bars l6.
  • rollers 14, 14 of the link 15 roll around the cam 12, the shape of which insures a constant distance of the centers of rollers 14, 14' during their continuous rolling around the cam 12, while the connecting line 123 of said centers always intersects the axis of rotation 122 of cam 12.
  • the link 15 is pivotally connected by means of a pin 210 to a lever 21 which forms part of the lifting means 2.

  • the control system 3 is carried by the cross beam 53.
  • System 3 has its vertical position determined by set screws 301 and is secured in adjusted position by bolts 302.
  • Two or more brackets 30 arranged to form a rigid unit on the cross beam 53 carry two shafts 31 and 41 parallel with the cam shaft 11.
  • Shaft 31, which is fixed, is provided with a set of bell cranks 32 which can be turned individually; the number of cranks 32 is the same as the number of lifting means 2.
  • the generally vertical arm of bell crank 32 carries an eccentric pin 34 with a fixing bolt 35.
  • a slide 33 is loosely joumalled so that it can be shifted to project into the fork 212 of the lever 21, serving as its tipping point.
  • disc 321 At the outer end of the other am of the bell crank 32a disc 321 is rotatably mounted, disc 321 being gripped by the open edge of the surfaces 421, 420 (FIG. 9) of the functional part of a segment 42, which is arranged on a rotatable shaft 41.
  • the profile bars 452 and 462 of the device 4 for closing the shed waves are fixedly secured to the respective rotatable shafts 451, 46 1. Said bars are disposed across the loor'n'in the area of the dead centers of individual heads 211 of the levers 21, that is to say, in the area of the dead centers of the lifting means 2, e.g. the threearm levers 22.
  • the described shedding device is arranged between sidewall members 51 which are connected to each other by cross beams 52, 53.
  • the shedding device is accommodated on rollers 54, 54', thus permitting the entire shedding device to be extracted out of its guiding means (not shown) on the inner confronting sides of the said sidewalls 51.
  • the described apparatus operates as follows:
  • FIG. 1 Before the beginning of the working (weaving) process the individual elements of the shedding device are in a position illustrated in FIG. 1, where there is shown an embodiment with a horizontal drive.
  • the bell crank 32 of the control system 3 is held by the segment 42 of the device 4 for closing the shed waves, while its disc 321 is held in a position in which the axis of the eccentric pin 34 lies in the level of the axis V passing through the axes of the pins 221, 221 of the holder of the section 222.
  • the heads 221 of the lever means 21 form, in the horizontal direction, a wave line corresponding with the angle of turning of each cam 12 of the drive 1.
  • This horizontal wave line is transformed into a vertical wave line by the lifting means 2, determining the position of individual shaft rods, e.g. 25.
  • the shaft rods 27 are moved through the same distance from the axis of symmetry of said wave line, but in the opposite direction.
  • the process goes on as follows:
  • the head 211 of the lever means 21 moves from the left to the right, and thus tips the three-arm lever 22 around the pin 221 of the holder 222 in a counterclockwise direction, i.e. the shaft rod 27 moves upwards, controlled by the guide lever 28, supported exactly over the three-arm lever 22.
  • its second arm transmits the movement to the double-arm lever 24 mounted on the common upper pin 221 of the holder of the section 222. Consequently, the shaft rod 25 connected with the double-arm lever 24 performs the movement downwards, turning the lower guide lever 26 counterclockwise around the lower pin 221' of the holder of the section 222, Le. opposite the direction of rotation of the three-arm lever' 22.

  • the distance of the head 21 1 from the pin 210 of the lever 21 is constant, as is also the stroke of the link 15, but the distance between the pin 210 and the eccentric pin 34 has decreased, whereas the length of the path of the moving head 211 of the lever 21 has increased, thereby increasing the height of the shed wave.
  • the function of the device 4 for closing the shed waves comprises two operations dependent upon each other.
  • FIG. 9 first of all the fixed fulcrum of the lever 21 formed by the eccentric pin 34 of the slide 33 is eliminated by turning the shaft 41 with the arranged set of segments 42 by pulling the chain 44 by chain control means (not shown) in the direction X from the position given by the axis Y to the position of the axis X
  • the discs 321 are released from the grip of the open wedge of the segments 42.
  • the spring 47 is tensioned and under simultaneous turning of the sprockets 45, 46 the thus actuated movement is transmitted to the shafts 451, 461 of the profile bars 452, 462.
  • the tension of the spring 47 results in its movement in the direction Y.
  • the profile bars 452, 462 turn from the position of the axes X to the position of the axes Y, thus increasing the space between the profile bars 452, 462 to the original width.
  • the chain 44, turning the sprocket 43 of the shaft 41 tips the segments 42 from the position X to the position Y Owing to the curvature 420 of the segments 42, the pressure in the upwards direction effects the discs 321 of the bell cranks 32 forming the lower half-waves of the shedding wave.
  • the movement transmitted by the slide 33 on the fork 212 of the levers 21 adjusts the said fork at the level V.
  • the levers 21 which have been tipped around the pin 210 actuates the stroke of one half of the shaft rods 25, 27 (the upper shed) by means of the respective levers of the lifting means 2.
