Abstract
An apparatus for rapidly and simultaneously, coupling and uncoupling loom heald frames, of varying length, to and from their respective drive bell cranks. Each heald frame attaches to more than one head of a flexible tie-rod, which in turn, extends down to adjustment sliders which are connected to the drive bell cranks. During the heald frame coupling and uncoupling from a locking apparatus at the head of the flexible tie-rod, two tilting jaws keep all of the flexible tie-rods in a rigid vertical position.
