摘要:
A coupling device for the releasable connection of a lifting element, in particular of a jacquard machine, to at least one lifting element of a warp thread in a weaving machine. The preferred coupling device connects a sinker cord of a jacquard machine to a harness cord of the harness of a weaving machine. The coupling device has a first coupling part assigned to the lifting element and a second coupling part assigned to the harness cord. The coupling parts execute a radial relative movement during coupling and uncoupling. The coupling device provides for rotational alignment of the two coupling parts with one another. At least one coupling part is assigned or capable of being assigned a rotational alignment mechanism. The coupling device is used in a system which rapidly connects and disconnects many connectors at the same time. The system includes a positioning mechanism for vertically moving two positioning elements which operate the coupling devices between standby and operative positions, and for horizontally moving at least one of the positioning elements to cause the coupling parts of each coupling device to interlock and disengage. The positioning elements also cooperate with portions of at least one of the coupling parts to rotationally align the coupling parts so they may interlock.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for separating an uppermost textile cut from a pile of textile cuts by gripping the uppermost cut at the top surface. The uppermost cut is lifted, and a loader is placed onto a restricted area closed to the edge of the uppermost cut. The uppermost cut is deformed in the restricted area region which causes a relative lateral movement between the uppermost cut and the other cuts. Air is blown through the uppermost cut onto the other cuts, thereby forming a gap between the cuts. A down molder is moved laterally into the gap to completely separate the uppermost cut and the other cuts.
