Abstract
Shed forming device for a textile machine having at least one upwardly and downwardly moving shed forming mechanism. An actuator is connected to a movable holding element for moving the element to a holding position and a non-holding position. In the holding position the element holds the shed forming device at a fixed height. A stop is connected to the element for supporting the holding element when it is in the holding position. Because of this the holding element is held on the stop by the shed forming mechanism. Thus, the contact pressure between the shed forming means and the holding element is produced by the hook load itself allowing for a support for the holding element to remain unstressed.
