Abstract
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.
