Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0269951A2] To achieve a larger pivot angle for a weft insertion needle, to reduce the wear and tear and the noise, and to increase the accuracy of the smallware loom, the needle (54), which is arranged on a shaft (52), is connected via a toothed belt, belt or chain gear (50) to a lever gear (24, 28, 38, 40, 42, 46). The latter is joined to a drive shaft (2) via an eccentric (22). <IMAGE>
