GUIDING DEVICE FOR THE WEFT INSERTERS IN LOOMS, MORE PARTICULARLY IN GRIPPER-SHUTTLE LOOMS

摘要

The guide device for the picking element of the weaving machine is formed with guide teeth each of which has a flexible zone which permits a positional adjustment of the guide and support member and guide hook relative to one another. During production of the guide device, the guide and support member and guide hook of each tooth are pressed against a gauge rod by a pressing device and thereafter potted in resin which forms a block. The presence of the gauge rod ensures a precisely tubular guide channel so that the path for a picking element is very regular.
