A receiving gripper for a rapier loom, wherein at least the moving part is made of a ceramic material.

Receiving gripper for a rapier loom

A stop element () is used to open a gripper clamp () of a weaving machine () and is associated to the gripper clamp's stop piece () and the stop element during the slow mode operation of the weaving machine is transversely moved into the path of the gripper clamp's stop piece () after the clamp already has moved into the vicinity of the stop element ().

Method and device for opening a gripper clip of a mechanical-loom gripper

The invention relates to a receiving gripper for a rapier weaving machine, the gripper being fitted at one end with a clamping hook () including a clamping surface, the hook being paired with a mating clamp face of a head () of a pivotably supported, two-arm lever (), wherein both the end face of the head () and the clamping hook () are fitted with guide elements () guiding the lever head in the circumferential direction relative to a pivot pin for the lever.

Rapier for a rapier loom

A loom gripper band driving device includes apparatus for changing the path of motion of the gripper band. The drive device includes a band driving wheel connected to a gear that engages a gear segment pivotable about a fixed support shaft and that is connected by a coupling rod to a crank arm that pivots about a fixed crankarm supporting shaft. The coupling rod is connected at its opposite ends to the gear segment and the crankarm, respectively, with the connecting points between the coupling rod, gear segment and crankarm being variable to change the path of motion of the gear segment and the gripper drive relative to the crankarm and in particular the crankarm supporting shaft.
