Definitions
- the present invention concerns improvements in weft grippers for looms.
- a drawback of grippers made of plastic material lies in the relatively fast wear of the "ribs" by means of which the grippers engage into the guide elements of the loom and slide in respect thereof, which ribs, having been formed up-to-date as an integrating part of the gripper body, inevitably lead - when worn - to the replacement of the whole gripper.
- the present invention proposes to avoid the above drawback, with obvious economic advantages, by supplying a pair of weft grippers for looms which are characterized in that the ribs engaging with the guide elements are formed on a bottom lining, applied on the lower part of said grippers and interchangeable.
- Said bottom lining is made of the same plastic material forming the gripper, but is coated with a sheet of composite material consisting of a fabric impregnated with a thermosetting resin, which is applied as an insert into the molded piece directly in the injection mold.
- the bottom lining according to the invention is removably applied to the gripper body, and is replaced as soon as the ribs are too worn.
- fig. 1 shows a side view of the carrying gripper 1 according to the invention, to the body 2 of which - fixed to the strap 3 controlling the motion thereof - an interchangeable bottom lining 4 is removably applied by mechanical means (for instance screws).
- Said bottom lining consists - as clearly shown in figs. 2 and 3 - of a shaped slab 5 made of the same plastic material as the gripper and coated with a sheet 6 of composite material consisting of a fabric impregnated with a thermosetting resin.
- the sheet 6 is applied to the shaped slab 5 as an insert into the molded piece, by being inserted directly in the injection mold and connecting the two parts by mutually engaging portions 7.
- the bottom lining 4 is removably applied on the lower part of the gripper 1 by conventional mechanical means, for example - as already mentioned - by means of screws inserted into countersunk holes as 8.
- the sides 9 of the bottom lining 4 engage with the metal guide elements of the loom, providing greater resistance to wear, proper to the coating sheet 6, on their side contacting said elements.
- the warp yarns contact the same coating, also in this case with obvious advantages in view of the rubbing which they produce: wear of the bottom lining, deriving from engagement with the warp yarns, is in fact less than in the conventional grippers, while the surface onto which rub the warp yarns keeps - by nature - very smooth, with very reduced stresses on said yarns.
- Figs. 5 and 6 show a bottom lining 10 having characteristics fully similar to the bottom lining 4, but to be applied to a drawing gripper 11 as that shown in fig. 4.
- the other similar parts are marked with the same reference numbers as in the previous figures.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention concerns improvements in weft grippers for looms.
- It is known that the fast progress in the field of looms equipped with weft yarn transport grippers has determined wide changes both in the configuration and structure of said members and in the materials used to produce the same. Among these, plastic materials are successfully used at present.
- A drawback of grippers made of plastic material lies in the relatively fast wear of the "ribs" by means of which the grippers engage into the guide elements of the loom and slide in respect thereof, which ribs, having been formed up-to-date as an integrating part of the gripper body, inevitably lead - when worn - to the replacement of the whole gripper.
- The present invention proposes to avoid the above drawback, with obvious economic advantages, by supplying a pair of weft grippers for looms which are characterized in that the ribs engaging with the guide elements are formed on a bottom lining, applied on the lower part of said grippers and interchangeable.
- Said bottom lining is made of the same plastic material forming the gripper, but is coated with a sheet of composite material consisting of a fabric impregnated with a thermosetting resin, which is applied as an insert into the molded piece directly in the injection mold.
- The bottom lining according to the invention is removably applied to the gripper body, and is replaced as soon as the ribs are too worn.
- The invention is illustrated on the accompanying drawings which show a practical embodiment thereof and in which:
- Fig. 1 is a side view of a carrying gripper according to the invention;
- Fig. 2 is a bottom view of the lining applied on the lower part of the body of the gripper shown in figure 1;
- Fig. 3 is a section view, along the line III-III of fig. 2, of the bottom lining shown in said figure; and
- Figs. 4 to 6 are similar views of a drawing gripper according to the invention.
- With reference to the drawings, fig. 1 shows a side view of the carrying gripper 1 according to the invention, to the
body 2 of which - fixed to thestrap 3 controlling the motion thereof - an interchangeable bottom lining 4 is removably applied by mechanical means (for instance screws). - Said bottom lining consists - as clearly shown in figs. 2 and 3 - of a
shaped slab 5 made of the same plastic material as the gripper and coated with asheet 6 of composite material consisting of a fabric impregnated with a thermosetting resin. Thesheet 6 is applied to theshaped slab 5 as an insert into the molded piece, by being inserted directly in the injection mold and connecting the two parts by mutually engagingportions 7. - The bottom lining 4 is removably applied on the lower part of the gripper 1 by conventional mechanical means, for example - as already mentioned - by means of screws inserted into countersunk holes as 8.
- In use, the
sides 9 of the bottom lining 4 engage with the metal guide elements of the loom, providing greater resistance to wear, proper to thecoating sheet 6, on their side contacting said elements. The warp yarns contact the same coating, also in this case with obvious advantages in view of the rubbing which they produce: wear of the bottom lining, deriving from engagement with the warp yarns, is in fact less than in the conventional grippers, while the surface onto which rub the warp yarns keeps - by nature - very smooth, with very reduced stresses on said yarns. - In any case, when the wears of the bottom lining 4 reach unacceptable or inconvenient values, it is sufficient to remove the worn bottom lining and quickly replace it by a new one in order to dispose of a perfectly efficient gripper, with no need to replace the same.
- Figs. 5 and 6 show a
bottom lining 10 having characteristics fully similar to the bottom lining 4, but to be applied to adrawing gripper 11 as that shown in fig. 4. The other similar parts are marked with the same reference numbers as in the previous figures.
