Definitions

  • the invention relates to a gripper for a gripper weaving machine, a gripper weaving machine and a method for manufacturing a gripper. More particular, the invention relates to a gripper comprising a gripper profile and a clamp with a first jaw and a second jaw for clamping a weft thread between the first jaw and the second jaw.
  • Grippers for gripper weaving machines are disclosed for example in WO 2008/104355 A1 and WO 2011/134953 A2 . It is known to attach one jaw such that this one jaw is resiliently deformable and/or moveable with respect to the other jaw, which other jaw is attached fixedly in position to the gripper profile, for example by welding this other jaw to the gripper profile.
  • a gripper for a gripper weaving machine comprising a gripper profile and a clamp with a first jaw and a second jaw for clamping a weft thread between the first jaw and the second jaw, wherein the first jaw is attached fixedly in position to the gripper profile, wherein at least a front end of the second jaw is moveable, in particular resiliently deformable, with respect to the first jaw, and wherein the first jaw has a mounting part provided with a slot for pinning the mounting part over the gripper profile.
  • the mounting part is provided with a slot and can be shifted or slid over a respective part of the gripper profile. This allows for a fixed positioning of the first jaw with respect to the gripper profile.
  • a connection between the jaws and the gripper profile has to withstand external forces that arise by opening the clamp in order to clean the clamp, for example for removing thread dust from the clamp, as well as internal forces, this means restoring forces of the second jaw forcing the second jaw towards the first jaw. Further, forces are acting on the connection due to a repeated acceleration and deceleration of the gripper in use as well as vibrations, for example vibrations caused by guiding the rapier in guide elements of the weaving machine.
  • the slot is directed towards a rear end of the gripper in order to avoid that weft threads enter the slot.
  • the slot is directed opposite to the front ends of the jaws where a weft thread enters the clamp, in order to avoid that the weft thread enters the slot.
  • the gripper profile is U-shaped with a top flank, a side flank, and a bottom flank, wherein the slot is adapted for pinning the mounting part over the top flank.
  • the slot for this purpose is adapted to the gripper profile, so that the first jaw can be pinned over a lug of the top flank of the gripper profile.
  • the slot is adapted so that the first jaw can be arranged over the top flank of the gripper profile with a small play or with a press-fit.
  • the mounting part is temporarily deformed for attaching the first jaw over the gripper profile for example by applying heat-shrink techniques.
  • the first jaw is positioned over the gripper profile by means of the slot and, thereafter, welded to the gripper profile, wherein due to the coupling of the first jaw with the gripper profile via the slot, the forces acting in use on a weld line are reduced.
  • the first jaw is removeably and replaceably attached to the gripper profile, wherein the first jaw is fixedly attached to the top flank by means of a screw. This allows replacing the first jaw when necessary, for example due to wear of the first jaw.
  • an upper part of the mounting part functions as a clamping surface for clamping a weft thread.
  • a screw head of the at least one screw is flush with or below said clamping surface of the mounting part of the first jaw.
  • the top flank is provided with a lug, wherein the slot is inserted over the lug of the mounting part for pinning the mounting part over the lug of the top flank.
  • the first jaw is an upper jaw arranged in use above the second jaw.
  • the first jaw is a lower jaw and the second jaw is an upper jaw arranged in use above the lower jaw.
  • the two jaws are independently attached to the gripper profile.
  • the upper jaw and the lower jaw at their rear ends are coupled to each other by means of at least one screw, wherein the top flank of the gripper profile is sandwiched between the rear ends of the upper jaw and the lower jaw.
  • This allows a fixed attachment of the jaws with respect to the gripper profile, and also allows a strengthening of the gripper profile made of a thin plate, as the top flank is sandwiched between the two jaws extending in the longitudinal direction, this means the movement direction of the gripper.
  • At least a front end of the second jaw is resiliently deformable and/or moveable with respect to the first jaw for clamping a weft thread between the jaws.
  • a setting screw is provided in the region of a front end of the second jaw, wherein by means of the setting screw a minimum distance between the second jaw and the first jaw is adjustable. This allows to adjust the initial opening between the jaws.
  • the gripper profile in preferred embodiments is fixedly attached to a rapier for moving the gripper profile with the clamp into and out of a weaving shed.
  • the rapier is for example a gripper band or a rigid gripper rod.
  • a reinforcement rib is provided, wherein the gripper profile is fixedly attached to the reinforcement rib, and attached to the rapier via the reinforcement profile. More particular, in preferred embodiments, the rapier is sandwiched between the bottom flank of the gripper profile and the reinforcement rib.
  • a gripper weaving machine comprising a gripper is provided.
  • a method for manufacturing a gripper for a gripper weaving machine comprising a gripper profile and a clamp with a first jaw and a second jaw for clamping a weft thread between the first jaw and the second jaw
  • the first jaw is attached fixedly in position to the gripper profile
  • the second jaw is attached such that at least a front end of the second jaw is attached resiliently deformable and/or moveable with respect to the first jaw
  • the first jaw has a mounting part provided with a slot, and wherein the mounting part is pinned over the gripper profile.
  • Figs. 1 to 4 show an embodiment of a gripper 1 according to the invention in a perspective view, a top view, a sectional view and an exploded view, respectively.
  • the gripper 1 shown in the figures comprises a gripper profile 2, a clamp 30 with a first jaw 3 and a second jaw 4, and a reinforcement rib 5.
  • the first jaw 3 is also referred to as the lower jaw or fixed jaw
  • the second jaw 4 is also referred to as the upper jaw or moveable jaw.
  • Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the gripper 1, wherein an upper jaw 4 is removed.
  • the gripper 1 is for example a bringer gripper.
  • the gripper profile 2 is a plate bent into a U-shape with a top flank 6, a side flank 7 and a bottom flank 8.
  • the top flank 6, the side flank 7 and the bottom flank 8 are designed as plate parts of a plate.
  • a weft thread (not shown) can be clamped between the upper jaw 4 and the lower jaw 3 of the clamp 30.
  • the upper jaw 4 is made from a resiliently deformable material, wherein at least a front end 9 of the upper jaw 4 is resiliently deformable and/or moveable with respect to the lower jaw 3 and functions as a leaf spring.
  • the upper jaw 4 is also referred to as leaf spring element.
  • the lower jaw 3 is a rigid element attached over the top flank 6 of the gripper profile 2.
  • a mounting part 10 of the lower jaw 3 is provided with a slot 11, and the lower jaw 3 is pinned over the top flank 6 of the gripper profile 2, wherein two legs 12, 13 of the mounting part 10 provided at opposite sides of the slot 11 are arranged at opposite surfaces of the top flank 6.
  • the slot 11 is directed towards the rear end of the gripper 1 in order to avoid that weft threads (not shown) accidentally enter the slot 11 when moving the gripper 1 into or out of a weaving shed (not shown).
  • the lower jaw 3 is further attached in position by means of a screw 14.
  • a screw head of the screw 14 is flush with or arranged below a clamping surface 32 of the mounting part 10 of the lower jaw 3 directed towards the upper jaw 4.
  • the screw 14 does not interfere with weft threads (not shown) entering the clamp 30 from the front end 34 of the lower jaw 3 and clamped between the upper jaw 4 and the lower jaw 3.
  • the mounting part 10 is arranged near the front end 34 of the lower jaw 3. This makes a fixed positioning of the clamping surface 32 of the lower jaw 3 with respect to the top flank 6 possible.
  • the top flank 6 of the gripper profile 2 is provided with a lug 15 projecting away from the side flank 7, wherein the mounting part 10 of the lower jaw 3 is attached over said lug 15.
  • the lug 15 is inserted into the slot 11.
  • the lower jaw 3 and the upper jaw 4 at their rear ends 16, 17 are coupled to each other by means of two screws 18.
  • the screws 18 are inserted from above and extend via two conical holes 19 provided at the rear end 17 of the upper jaw 4 and are screwed into two threaded holes 20 provided at the rear end 16 of the lower jaw 3.
  • a first of these two screws 18 further extends via a through hole 21 provided at the top flank 6, whereas in the embodiment shown, the second of these two screws 18 does not intersect the top flank 6.
  • a further through hole is provided in the top flank 6 for the second of these two screws 18.
  • the top flank 6 is sandwiched between the rear end 17 of the upper jaw 4 and the rear end 16 of the lower jaw 3 for attaching the clamp 30 to the top flank 6 of the gripper profile 2.
  • a setting screw 22 is screwed in the region of a front end of the upper jaw 4, which contacts a top surface of the top flank 6, such that by means of the setting screw 22 a minimum distance between the upper jaw 4 and the lower jaw 3 is adjustable.
  • the gripper For moving the gripper into and out of a weaving shed (not shown) during weaving, the gripper is attached to a rapier 35.
  • the gripper 1 further comprises the reinforcement rib 5, wherein the gripper profile 2 is fixedly attached to the reinforcement rib 5. More particular, the reinforcement rib 5 is attached via the rapier 35 to a top surface of the bottom flank 8 by means of at least two fastening screws 23 and a screw 36. The screws 23 extend successively through the conical holes 24 provided at the bottom flank 8 of the gripper profile 2 and the conical holes 37 provided at the rapier 35 to be screwed into screw holes 25 provided in the reinforcement rib 5.
  • the screw 36 extends successively through a conical hole 24 provided at the bottom flank 8, a conical hole 37 provided at the rapier 35 and through a through hole 26 provided in the reinforcement rib 5 to be screwed into a screw hole 33 provided in the lower jaw 3.
