Patent ID: 7398799

Claim:
A device for connecting a first element, of an assembly for the formation of a shed in a weaving loom of a Jacquard type, on a second element of the assembly for the formation of the shed, the device comprising an endpiece molded on an upper end of the first element and including two first branches that are compressible relative to one another and between which is defined an aperture for receiving a lower end of the second element therethrough so that the lower end will have two strands that may be extended upward from a portion of the second element received in the aperture, said endpiece including two second branches between which is defined a space for receiving the two strands, said two second branches having ends that extend away from said two first braches and that are compressible relative to one another, a metallic sleeve reciprocally mounted about said endpiece between a first position in which said sleeve is spaced from said two first and second branches and thereby allows access to the aperture and does not interact with said two second branches, and a second position in which said sleeve exerts on said first branches and on said second branches a compressive force for constricting the aperture and the space and for wedging the portion and the two strands respectively in the aperture and in the space.
