This invention relates to an improvement in a device for the actuation of clamping means for filling yarn in a shuttleless weaving machine with filling yarn insertion by means of gripper systems advanced from both sides into the shed and then retracted and having clamping means for the filling yarn, said gripper systems actuating the clamping means in constrained manner through the intermediary of a control lever mounted on an arm secured to the sley shaft, pivotal therewith, and passing from the outside through the warp of the shed, the control lever being actuated by a cam, a swing lever with roller adapted to engage the cam, and a connecting rod connected to the swing lever and the control lever, the improvement comprising means pivotally mounting the swing lever on the weaving machine outside of the sley shaft.

Device for the constrained actuation of clamping means of filling-yarn

This invention relates to an improvement in a device for coupling a heddle frame to reciprocatable drive bars with a first coupling part mounted on the frame of the heddle and with a second coupling part mounted to a drive bar, one of the coupling parts comprising drive means insertable between two parallel wall parts of the other coupling part, the coupling parts acting together by means of drive surfaces arranged transversely to the drive direction of the drive bar, the improvement which comprises the drive means being a hook-shaped element having wedging surfaces extending essentially transversely to the main direction of force of the drive bar and diverging toward the hook opening, a shaped element supported by a bearing in order to be limited in rotation positioned between the wall parts and provided with correspondingly located mating wedging surfaces adapted to be received in the hook-shaped element, means for pivoting the drive bar, together with the coupling part thereon, in the plane of the heddle frame to engage the other coupling part, and means for locking the coupling parts together in the plane.
