Patent attributes
For releasable attachment of heddle bars (8) to shaft rods (2) of a heald shaft (1) of a weaving machine, holding devices are provided which are composed of two sheet metal members, with one part forming a flat surface for bonding to the shaft rod (2). The parts that remains free receives respective metal ribs (31, 32), which may be riveted or welded to the sheet metal members. The reinforcing strips engage securing elements for a bracket to position the latter in a form-fitting manner. The sheet metal members are tightened against the bracket, e.g., by bolts or rivets, to firmly clamp the bracket in the desired position. The reinforcing strips are configured and secured to the sheet metal members such that the reinforcement simultaneously serves for the exact positioning of the bracket (22), and for preventing a vertical shift of the bracket during operation of the heald shaft.
