A jacquard machine includes a plurality of yarn moving elements and in association with each yarn moving element a yarn moving mechanism having an output cord connected to the yarn moving element, a plurality of setting bars extending substantially in a first direction corresponding to a weft direction and positioned adjacent to each other substantially in a second direction longitudinal end regions and a cooperation region arranged between the longitudinal end regions for the cooperation with a plurality of yarn moving mechanisms, a plurality of position adjustment bars extending substantially in the second direction, wherein in each one of the two longitudinal end regions of the setting bars two position adjustment bars are provided adjacent to each other, and a plurality of connecting members for connecting the setting bars to the position adjustment bars, wherein in each longitudinal end region of each setting bar one connecting members is provided such as to be connectable to either one of the two position adjustment bars arranged in a respective one of the longitudinal end regions of the setting bars.

Jacquard machine, face-to-face weaving machine comprising at least one jacquard machine, and method of setting up a jacquard machine

A pulley for installation in a pulley mechanism of a Jacquard machine has a shaft, a housing having two flank bodies, which are provided to fasten the shaft, so that this shaft extends substantially between the flank bodies, and a pulley wheel, which is provided to be arranged between the two flank bodies so as to be directly rotatable around the shaft. The shaft, prior to assembly of the pulley, is provided with cavities and/or projecting portions for the post-assembly axial securement of the flank bodies in both axial directions.

A shed-forming device has elastically deformable selection elements () ()-() which can be placed in an undeformed position or in a deformed position, electromagnetic selectors () which can be actuated in order to place or keep each selection element () in successive weaving cycles in one of said positions, and presenting means () in order to mechanically deform selection elements () in the direction of a selector () in each weaving cycle into a presenting position in which they are kept at a distance from the selector () by a stop (), and also relates to a method for positioning selection elements of a shed-forming device in this manner.

A coupling device for positioning elements for warp yarns, comprising a male coupling part () with a head () which, when elastically deformed, can be introduced into a female coupling part () via a passage () and assumes a larger transverse dimension beyond said passage, so that the head is detained there and the coupling parts (), () are coupled. Beyond this passage (), the female coupling part () comprises an axially displaceable uncoupling body () with an opening (), so that the head can be introduced into this opening () and be deformed in the process to such an extent that it can be introduced into the passage () in order to uncouple the coupling parts.
