Patent attributes
A shaft transmission (3) for a weaving machine comprises a shaft arrangement (8) that supports, on one end, a crown wheel (10) in order to drive the shaft arrangement (8), which is supported by two bearing arrangements (12, 13), between which a package (28) comprising the cam disks (29-29i) is non-torsionally held on the shaft arrangement (8). The part (18) of the shaft arrangement (8), which supports the package (28), is connected with the remaining part (17) of the shaft arrangement (8) via a clutch arrangement (19), and is secured, in connected state, by a locking arrangement (41) that is actuated from one end of the shaft arrangement (8). For disassembly and replacement of the package (28), the connection can be released and the cam disk section (18) can be removed from the shaft transmission (3), while the drive section (17) remains in the shaft transmission (3).
