Gripper and weft thread insertion device for a rapier weaving machine

摘要

The gripper has a thread clamp with a continued permanent magnetic device (6) which cooperates with a counter magnet (7) for twisting a torsion bar (1) and release a clamping tongue (3) of a clamping jaw. An actuator (4) is provided for rotating the torsion bar regardless of the permanent magnetic device. The clamping jaw is designed as a fixed jaw.
