Drive shaft for swinging of reed teeth
First Claim
1. Shaft arrangement on a traveling wave loom for the pivoting of the reed teeth during the operation of the loom in which reed teeth are formed of elongated thin blades, the wide sides of which are perpendicular to a helically profiled contracting surface of a rotating screw shaft of said shaft arrangement and one edge of each abuts against the surface of said shaft, at least one lubricating groove extending the length of said shaft for supplying lubricant between the contacting surfaces of said surface and said one edge abutting against said surface and a lubricant holder means which is impregnated with a lubricant being contained in said groove, said groove following the profile of said shaft so as to always be forward of the point of maximum pressure between said surface and said one edge.
