Heddle carrying rods with connectors and/or pieces

摘要

The heddle carrying rods are provided with open ended axially extending slots in each end. Connectors are provided having longitudinal edges complementary to the longitudinal edges of the slots to define a tongue and groove connection. One end of a connector may be slidably connected in the slot with the opposite end having a locking configuration to retain the connector in the slot for preventing the removal of heddles from the rod, a bevelled end piece configuration to facilitate the insertion of heddles on the rod or an identical symmetrical configuration for insertion into a slot in another rod to facilitate transfer of heddles from one rod to another.
