A drive mechanism for driving a heald frame of a weaving machine, the drive mechanism having a crank rotating about a crank axis, a coupling rod, and a swivel lever having a first arm and a second arm, the coupling rod is linked to the first arm of the swivel lever by a second hinged joint adjustable with respect to the first arm of the swivel lever, wherein in at intended locations of the second hinged joint with respect to the first arm of the swivel lever, the second hinged joint is situated on an arc of an imaginary circle when the swivel lever is in a central position between the upper position and the lower position, wherein the imaginary circle has a radius that is equal to the distance between the first hinged joint and the second hinged joint, and the imaginary circle has a center that coincides with the crank axis.

A drive mechanism for driving a heald frame of a weaving machine, the drive mechanism having a sensor device, wherein the sensor device has at least three members having both a target set with one or more targets and a detector set with one or more detectors, wherein one of the detector set and the target set is arranged at the swivel lever and the other one is arranged stationary on the weaving machine, targets of the target set and/or detectors of the detector set have different characteristics for generating a first signal when approaching the measuring position from the upper position or when departing from the measuring position towards the upper position and for generating a second signal when approaching the measuring position from the lower position or when departing from the measuring position towards the lower position, and the second signal differs from the first signal.

A loom having a first drive motor (), which for instance drives a batten (), and having at least one second drive motor (), which drives a dobby (), is provided with a control and regulating device (), which forms a rotational angle course for a virtual synchronization shaft of the loom and communicates such rotational angle course to respective control and regulating units () of each of the drive motors (), which synchronize the drive motors in at least one angular position relative to the virtual synchronization shaft.

Method for operating a loom

A device for forming a shed in weaving machines includes a harness and coupling elements for coupling the harness to a drive mechanism. The height of the harnesses is made adjustable by mounting respective coupling elements on setting screws integrated into the side beams of the harness elements and movable relative to the side beams for enabling individual height adjustment of each harness element relative to its coupling element. Because the height adjustment is done on the harness itself, the height adjustment can be done when the harness is inside as well as outside the weaving machine. The setting screws extend through the side beams to the coupling elements, which are situated below the harness, adjustment being effected by turning the screws from the top of the side beams to move of the harness up and down relative to the ends of the setting screws and coupling elements coupled thereto at the bottom of the side beams.

A split loom includes securing elements which can be affixed to a removable loom part to receive the harnesses before separating the removable loom part from a stationary loom part, thereby retaining the harnesses in predetermined positions until re-assembly of the removable loom part to the stationary loom part.
