Definitions

  • the invention relates to a bar for a loom and a method of manufacturing such a bar.
  • the invention also relates to a shedding device and to a loom incorporating such a bar.
  • the loom of the loom are generally formed of metallic filiform elements in each of which is formed an eyelet for the passage of a warp yarn.
  • EP-A-0 947 620 discloses a rail in which an eyelet is attached in a notch formed in a filiform element.
  • a rail manufactured in a strip of metal or strip should be oriented with its width parallel to the direction of passage of the warp threads, which would not be compatible with the formation simple of a carnation in such a smooth. Indeed, such an eyelet must have its width generally perpendicular to the direction of passage of the warp son. It is known, for example from FR-A-2 711 679, to locally deform a rail formed in a metal strip so that the branches of an eyelet of such a rail are truncated, in order to give the eyelet a width sufficient.
  • the invention intends to remedy more particularly by proposing a new rail whose shape makes it possible to avoid vibrations in the harness, even though it has excellent mechanical properties.
  • the invention relates to a smooth according to claim 1 for loom, this lug being formed in a metal strip and comprising a grommet for passing a warp yarn.
  • This rail has, over substantially the entire area between this eyelet and a first end of the rail by which it is coupled to a drive means, a cross section generally Z-shaped, with two substantially parallel branches between they.
  • a warp passing through the rail can be guided along its direction of progression on the two branches of the rail, but also on the corresponding branches of neighboring rails, over the entire area between the eyelet and the rail. first end of the smooth. Plates according to the invention can therefore be implanted on a loom with a high density, the warp son are not injured in contact with the healds or struck by them since the branches they form serve as means guidance throughout the height of the area defined above.
  • the cross section in the form of S or Z gives the arm of the invention a good rigidity.
  • the invention also relates to a method according to claim 6 for producing a heald as previously described and, more specifically, to a method which comprises a step of rolling or stretching a metal strip, forming two parallel plies defining two branches extending on both sides of a median zone of the arm.
  • a method which comprises a step of rolling or stretching a metal strip, forming two parallel plies defining two branches extending on both sides of a median zone of the arm.
  • the invention also relates to a shedding device for a loom which comprises at least one rail as previously described.
  • this device also comprises a guide means in translation of the rail, this means being provided with at least one opening section cross-section generally Z-shaped, with two branches generally parallel to each other.
  • each rail is engaged in a sleeve in which is also engaged by the opposite side, a force transmission element in the form of a semi-rigid rod, the sleeve being secured to the rail and the rail.
  • said element which allows a positive transmission of forces between this element and this smooth.
  • the connection between the sleeve and this element can take place by crimping, reversible or definitive bonding, clipping, form co-operation, brazing, welding and / or elastic binding.
  • the invention relates to a loom which comprises a shedding device as previously described.
  • a loom which comprises a shedding device as previously described.
  • the arm 1 shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 is formed in a steel strip by rolling, by means of two rollers which make it possible to crush and deform this strip so as to constitute, on the lateral faces 11 and 12 of the arm 1 , folds 13 and 14 parallel to each other and parallel to a central longitudinal axis XX 'of the rail 1.
  • the end of the rail 1 is marked with which it can be connected to a semi-rigid rod 2, for example made of carbon, which serves as drive means, as explained below.
  • the connection between the rail 1 and the rod 2 is made by means of a sleeve 3 in which are inserted the end 15 and the lower end 21 of the rod 2, each of these ends 15 and 21 penetrating into the sleeve 3 by one side of it.
  • the ends 15 and 21 may be permanently or reversibly bonded inside the sleeve 3.
  • the ends 15 and 21 may also be crimped, elastically wedged, clipped or immobilized by shape cooperation inside the sleeve 3 Alternatively, the assembly of the sleeve and the end 15 may be made by soldering or welding.
  • the immobilization between the sleeve 3 and at least one of the elements 1 and 2 is advantageously reversible, which allows to consider disassembly of the connection thus made, especially for maintenance operations.
  • An eyelet 17 is formed in the rail 1 for the passage of a warp 4.
  • the rail 1 has, in a plane perpendicular to the axis X-X 'cross-section S having a shape generally flattened Z, with two branches 1a and 1b s' extending along directions Y a -Y ' a and Y b -Y' b perpendicular to the axis XX 'and parallel to each other.
  • These branches 1 a and 1 b are connected by a central zone 1 c which extends generally in a direction D perpendicular to the axis XX 'and making an angle ⁇ of the order of 45 ° with respect to the directions Y a - Y ' a and Y b -Y' b .
  • the arm 1 has the section S shown in FIG. 3 over substantially the entire height of a zone Z 0 between the end 15 and the eyelet 17.
  • the arm 1 has the same section S generally flattened Z at the level of the section plane of FIG. 3, an opening being provided at the zone 1 c to constitute the eyelet 17.
  • the opening 17 is formed by stamping in a direction D 'generally perpendicular to the direction D and, with a straight line ⁇ perpendicular to the side faces 1 to 1 , 1 to 2 , 1 b 1 and 1 b 2 of the branches 1 a and 1 b , an angle ⁇ substantially equal to the angle ⁇ .
  • the eyelet 17 is made by stamping in the direction D ', as represented by the arrow F 1 in FIG. 4, allows its edges 17 to be generally parallel to this direction and that heels 18 are formed on both sides of the opening 17 at the foot of the branches 1a and 1b, thereby maintaining the smooth and formed a good torsional stiffness about the axis X-X ', notwithstanding the completion of the eyelet 17.
  • Openings 19 are formed in the rail 1 between the eyelet 17 and the end 16. According to a not shown variant of the invention, the corresponding openings could also be formed between the eyelet 17 and the end 15. These openings 19 are made by localized routing of the central zone 1 c and save material during the realization of the smooth 1 and reduce its inertia, which is particularly advantageous since such a smooth is intended to undergo inversions repeated movements and for very brief periods. The openings do not affect the geometry of the edges of the rail 1 which remain formed by the branches 1a and 1b .
  • the cross section S of the rail 1 has substantially the same geometry as that shown in FIG. 4.
  • the cross section S of the rail 1 retains the same geometry between the ends 15 and 16, by the way near that openings 17 or 19 are provided in some places.
  • the guiding function mentioned with reference to FIG. 5 is kept independently of the height position of the rails 1 of a safety device. formation of the crowd.
  • the fact that a rail is more or less lifted by the harness does not affect its ability to guide the warp threads through the eyelets of neighboring rails.
  • the warp son are thus subjected to substantially constant efforts, regardless of the height of the stringers, which limits the vibrations in the harness of a loom equipped with such smooth.
  • Such a loom M is shown schematically in FIG. 6 and comprises a beam 101 and a bobbin 102 between which the warp yarns 4 are circulated.
  • the direction of the picks on the loom M is noted AA ', that is to say the direction of the weft threads.
  • the loom M also comprises a frame 104 supporting the elements 101 and 102 and a not shown system for passing the picks.
  • the frame 104 is extended by a superstructure 105 disposed above the main part of the loom M and supporting a device 110 for controlling a set of rods 2 which are arranged in sheaths 22 and which constitute a harness for the loom M
  • a device 110 for controlling a set of rods 2 which are arranged in sheaths 22 and which constitute a harness for the loom M
  • FIG. 1 For the sake of clarity, only a portion of the sheaths 22 is shown in FIG.
  • the members 5 define two crosspieces 51 and 52 extending one above the other and perpendicular to the direction A-A '.
  • the cross member 51 is provided with openings 53 whose cross section is similar to the section S of the rail 1 which they receive.
  • the crosspiece 52 is provided with openings 54 for receiving the lower end of a sheath 22 and for passing a rod 2.
  • the openings 53 and 54 make it possible to control and guide the arm 1 represented in the lowest position in FIG. 7 in its vertical oscillation movement, in the direction of its axis X-X ', this movement being represented by the double arrow F 3 .
  • the smooth according to the invention can be controlled positively by the rod 2, that is to say that it is not necessary to provide an elastic return in the lower part of the craft.
  • a smooth 1 can be controlled, positively, from below the sheet of warp yarn 4, in which case its end 15 is located below this sheet while its end 16 protrudes above it.
  • This variant makes it possible to dispense with the super-structure 105 represented in FIG. 6 by integrating the device 110 into the chassis 104.
  • the invention is applicable, in particular, with any hitch coupled to a drive member by a single end, whether it is an individual control Jacquard type, as known from FR-A-2 811 687, or a dobby type common control, or a smooth controlled by its two ends, Jacquard loom or dobby.
  • Jacquard type as known from FR-A-2 811 687
  • dobby type common control or a smooth controlled by its two ends, Jacquard loom or dobby.
  • a Z-shaped section also covers an S-shaped section. Indeed, the shape of the section is S or Z depending on the direction of observation of this section.
