Support assembly for a planetary-type selvage unit on a loom

摘要

A support shaft for a planetary-type selvage unit on a loom is mounted at its proximal end to a drive shaft for the selvage unit in an arrangement swingable between operative and stand-by positions. A locker unit is attached to the support bracket in order to selectively register the same at the operative position during weaving operation. Simple swing motion of the support bracket about the drive shaft produces an enlarged free space above the selvage unit during the looming operation, thereby allowing free transportation of heald frames necessary for the looming operation.
