A lifter device for a jacquard machine comprising a first lifter element and a second lifter element suspended from at least one hook, respectively. The hook is adapted to be selected to be carried along by one of two knives moving up and down in counterphase. A reversing roller is provided on the device. A lifter cord is provided. The lifter cord is either attached at one end to a part of the machine and is then passed over a roller of the first lifter element or is attached directly to the first lifter element. In either case the cord is passed over a reversing roller and a roller of the second lifter element. The other end of the cord is connected to at least one harness cord. The reversing roller is hingedly fixed and is disposed with its working face diagonal to the working faces of the rollers of the lifter elements.

Lifter device for a jacquard machine

Jacquard machine with lifter device has a first (1) and a second lifter element (2). The lifter elements are suspended from at least one hook (3, 4), (5, 6) respectively, which hook can be selected to be carried along by one of two knives (7'), (8') moving up and down in counterphase. A reversing roller (9') is provided. A lifter cord (10) is attached by one end (10') to a part of the device and is passed in succession over a roller (1') of the first lifter element (1), the reversing roller (9') and a roller (2') of the second lifter element (2). The other end of the cord is connected to one or more harness cords for lifting at least one warp thread on a weaving loom. First and second grates are provided on the machine. The reversing roller (9') is attached on a first grate (12). Each grate (12), (11) optionally can be disposed either in a fixed position or in a movable position such that it can be set in motion up and down in phase with one of the knives (7'), (8'). The Jacquard machine is convertable from a three-position Jacquard machine to a four-position Jacquard machine, and vice-versa, or to a five-position Jacquard machine, and vice-versa.
