A flat shaft rod of a heald frame for a loom has two half-shells (16) made of a thermoplastic, fiber-reinforced composite which forms mechanically interconnected, rigid hollow sections (15). A rigid longitudinal reinforcement (17) is disposed on the outside of the hollow section and a carrier or support rail or bar (18) is disposed on the inside, the elements (17, 18) both being mechanically rigidly connected to the half-shells. These shaft rods are rigid and heald frames made with them are of simple construction.

Shaft rod and heald frame for a loom

The shaft rod of a heald frame for a loom, the rod having a corrugated or cross-section, has a shell (16) made of a thermoplastics composite having industrial endless fibers. A rigid longitudinal reinforcement (17) is disposed on the outside of the section and a carrier or support rail or bar or the like (18) is disposed on the inside, the elements (17, 18) both being rigidly connected mechanically to the shell (16). Light rigid low-cost shaft rods and heald frames of simple construction are therefore provided.
