The horn is preferably mounted in a head 53 carried by a shaft 35 rotatable in a sleeve 33 carried by a casting 31, so that the horn may move about the axis of the shaft 35, which is substantially perpendicular to the face 59. The sleeve 33 is pivoted in the casting 31 by means of a pair of pins 51, and the casting 31 is carried by a pair of arms 43, 47 pivoted on rods 39, 41 carried by a bracket 13 pivoted on pins 7. The pins 7 are carried by a pair of arms 21 supported by yokes 23, 25, the yoke 23 being adjustable about a shaft 27 and the yoke 25 about a shaft 19 to vary the angular position of an alternative horn 3 similar to that described in Specification 415,480. The horn 55 is moved to and from the work by mechanism 81, 83, 85, 89, arm 5, rod 93, and arms 91, 47, which rocks the casting 31 and causes the roll 75 to move along a path concentric about the pins 7. The roll 75 may be adjusted relatively to the face 37 to suit various thicknesses of work, by means of a threaded stud 97 which rotates the rod 41 carrying an eccentric on which the rods 47, 91 are mounted. The downward movement of the rod 47 causes the casting 31 to pivot on the pins 45 and rock the horn. If the horn 3 is to be used instead of the horn 5, the latter is withdrawn from the head 53 and the pin 95 connecting the arm 5 to the rod 93 is removed to disconnect the casting 31 from the lever 81. The horn 55 may be swung forwardly to facilitate insertion and removal of the work by treadle mechanism comprising a treadle rod 115 connected to the upper link of a toggle lever 115, 117 biassed towards the straight by a spring 121 to keep the roll 75 pressed against the work. Means similar to that described in Specification 415,480 are provided for canting the work-support 1 when the horn is canted.

Title: Heald and a method for the manufacture thereof
IPC: D03C9/02
Filed: 1978-03-01
Abstract: Heald (10) composed of textile thread, which consists of two crocheted threads (11, 12) and in which each individual knot, which, in the healds known hitherto, connects the two twisted or smooth thread parts to form the heald eye, is replaced by interlaced ladders of two stitches located next to one another in the two crocheted threads (11, 12). The looping points (13, 14, 15, 16) are formed at predetermined points along the two threads, for the purpose of producing the closed heald with its eye (17). This novel heald is produced on a knitting machine with a constant bundle length and is then combined in a bundling machine. The use of the novel heald does away with all the problems which occur in tying by hand, such as for example, time-consuming work, and knots which, in the few thousand healds located next to one another on the heald frame, are considerably thicker than the actual thread material and form bulges which give the combined healds a non-uniform width. <IMAGE>
