Definitions

  • Said second retaining portion defining an opening that narrows towards the outside and said openings registering with each other in the longitudinal direction of the arrangement; and I 1 support means secured to said carrier, said support means having a rod-shaped'portion that is pushed through said [56] References cued o enin transversely of the guide elements and that is P 8 UNITED STATES PATENTS swingably mounted within the openings.
  • This invention relates to a reed tooth arrangement for use on wave-type looms and more particularly to an arrangement in which the reed teeth are located between broad-faced guide elements that are positioned parallel with and alongside each other in the longitudinal direction of the arrangement and that each have a retaining portion for mounting on a carrier, the retaining portions registering with each other in the longitudinal direction of the arrangement.
  • a wave-type loom or multi-phase weaving machine is known and is disclosed in US. Pat. No. 3,477,475 in which the guide elements are held together to form a pack by means of a plurality of rods that pass through them.
  • openings are provided at uniform distances along one of these rods in a predetermined number of guide elements. These openings are so formed that this rod is free of these guide elements, i.e., it does not pass through them.
  • These guide elements are therefore retained only by the other rods.
  • This one rod is held at its free places, i.e., at the openings, by retaining members, which are, in turn, secured to the carrier.
  • This securing means or assembly requires that the guide elements forming a pack must be of different shapes. To produce such a pack thus necessitates the manufacture of guide elements of different shapes, and the required number of such elements has to be worked out. Additionally, when the elements are assembled, they have to be counted out accurately and arranged in layers.
  • the reed tooth arrangement of the invention is advantageously assembled in such a way that the arrangement is first mounted on the retaining parts or portions of the guide elements on a carrier, which elements are arranged longitudinally along a straight line. The arrangement is then swung around the line of suspension into a position corresponding to the mounted condition. In this position it is secured by retaining means to the carrier over a second range extending in the longitudinal direction of the arrangement. In the secured position the retaining means immobilize the pack of guide elements against displacement in the direction of right-angle to the longitudinal direction of the arrangement, i.e., in the secured position the retaining means bear laterally against the guide elements.
  • These retaining means should not be rigidly fixed with respect to the pack of guide elements, as otherwise, when the arrangement is assembled and dismantled, these means would get in the way when swinging from the suspended to the secured position and vice versa.
  • each of the guide elements comprises a second retaining portion and each second retaining portion contains an opening which narrows towards the outside, and these openings register with each other in the longitudinal direction of the arrangement to accommodate a rod portion of a rail secured to the carrier, said rod portion passing through the openings and being shaped so that it can be pushed therethrough transversely of the guide elements and swingably mounted therein.
  • FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a portion of the reed tooth arrangement of this invention as in a wave-type loom, partly in section;
  • FIG. 2 shows a sectional view at right-angles to the longitudinal direction of the reed tooth arrangement
  • FIG. 3 shows a rear view of the reed tooth arrangement shown in FIG. 2.
  • FIG. 1 The perspective illustration of a portion of a wavetype loom, or multi-phase weaving machine, in FIG. 1 shows how the reed tooth arrangement of the invention is disposed on the loom.
  • a plurality of shuttles (not shown), which move simultaneously one after the other over the width of the loom.
  • the shuttles are moved forwards by the reed teeth 19 which act as drive elements.
  • the reed teeth 19 are in the form of thin elongated blades, and are used for beating up the inserted weft threads.
  • the reed teeth 19 are incorporated in the arrangement 21 which supports the reed teeth much in the manner of the arrangement (20) in the aforesaid U. S. Pat. No. 3,477,475.
  • the arrangement is firmly secured to the loom frame.
  • Two drive shafts 23 and 24, extending through the arrangement 21, impart movement to the reed teeth 19.
  • These shafts each have a helical profile or exterior shape.
  • the reed teeth 19 are swung about a shaft (shaft 30 shown in FIG. 2) in such a way that each tooth I9 is always a small distance ahead of the preceding tooth during its cycle of movement. This creates, in the reed teeth 19 as a whole, an undulatory movement which progresses from right to left, as viewed in FIG. 1, and which drives the shuttles along across the loom.
  • FIG. 2 shows a cross-section through the arrangement 21 in the direction at right-angles to the axes of the drive shafts 23 and 24.
  • the blade-like reed teeth I9 as drawn, are in the end positions reached in their swinging movements.
  • the reed teeth 19 are swung about the shaft 30 along which they are arranged side-by-side.
  • the drive shafts 23 and 24 are mounted in the troughmembers 3] and 32 provided in the bearing block 33.
  • This block is firmly connected to the carrier 36 by means of the threaded bolts 35.
  • the threaded bolts 35 are spaced at uniform distances apart in the longitudinal direction of the reed tooth arrangement.
  • the reed blades 19 are arranged between guide means in the form of guide elements 37.
  • the guide elements 37 are thin, broad-faced plate-like structures, which can be made, by stamping, from sheet metal or plastic sheets. They are arranged side-by-side and parallel with each other. By means of the rods- 38, pushed transversely through the guide elements 37, these elements are made up into a pack which extends over the entire width of the loom. Between each pair of adjacent elements 37, there is provided a blade-like reed tooth I9, the broad sides of the teeth 19 lying parallel with the faces of the guide elements 37. These elements prevent the blades 19 from deflecting laterally.
  • distance pieces are provided between them. These means can take the form of helically wound wires, such wire being fitted around each of the rods 38, and one turn of the wire being present between each two adjacent guide elements 37. These wire distance pieces are not shown in the drawing.
  • the pack of guide elements incorporates the elements 37, the rods 38 plus wire distance pieces, the pivot shaft 30 carried by the elements 37, and the blades 19 arranged along this shaft.
  • the pack of guide elements is supported at its front end by the carrier 36.
  • the carrier has a projection or ledge 40, and each element 37 has a nose or retaining projection 41 which bears on the ledge 40.
  • the projection 41 is secured by the rod 42 when the screws 43, distributed over its length, apply pressure to it.
  • the guide elements 37 each contain a retaining portion including a circular opening 44. Each of these openings 44 comprises an outwardly extending narrowed portion 45.
  • a rail 46 is fitted transversely of the elements 37. It comprises a supporting portion having a threaded bore 47, a rod portion 48, and a strip-lil e intermediate part 49. The rod portion 48 fits exactly into the openings 44 and is pushed through them in the direction at right-angles to the elements 37. The rail 46 is secured to the carrier 36 by means of the screws 5!.
  • the pack is positioned with the necessary precision relatively to the drive shafts 23 and 24. In order to prevent lateral displacement of the pack, it bears exactly, by one end, on the left-hand end of the block 33. When the screws 51 are tightened, the rail 46 bears accurately on the right-hand end of the block 33.
  • FIG. 3 shows a view of the arrangement shown in FIG. 2 as seen from the right.
  • FIG. 3 again shows the carrier 36, the screws 51 passing therethrough, the rail 46, comprising the rod portion 48 and the strip-like intermediate portion 49, and the guide elements 37. Also provided are distance elements (vertical spacer means) in the form of screws 52. These spacer means are fitted in screw-threaded portions in the carrier 36 and their ends bear against the rail 46. By setting the screws 52, the distance between the elements 36 and 46 can be accurately adjusted. The screws 51 are then tightened.
  • a reed tooth arrangement for use on a wave-type loom which comprises: a plurality of reed teeth and sheet-like guide elements for preventing lateral bending of the said reed teeth located therebetween; carrier means for supporting said guide elements, said elements being positioned parallel with and alongside each other in the longitudinal direction of the arrangement, each of said elements having a first retaining portion for mounting on the carrier means, said first retaining portions registering with each other in the longitudinal direction of the arrangement, and each of the guide elements also having a second retaining portion, said second retaining portions each defining an opening that narrows towards the outside of said elements and said openings registering with each other in the longitudinal direction of the arrangement; and support means secured to said carrier means, said support means having a rod-shaped portion that is pushed through said openings transversely of the guide elements so that said elements can swing about said rod shaped portion which is swingably mounted within the openings.
  • the support means includes a strip portion and the rod-shaped portion merges with the strip portion and said-openings each have a narrowed portion wider than the thickness of the strip portion, said strip portion being accommodated in said narrowed portions.
  • said support means comprises a rail having three portions extending in the longitudinal direction of said arrangement, one portion being the rod portion, the second being a supporting portion screw-threaded to receive screws, and the third being a strip-like intermediate portion located between the rod portion and the supporting portion.
