Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A driving-force transmission mechanism includes a driving-force transmission shaft that is provided so as to protrude from a side wall of a side frame while extending parallel to a driving shaft within a space of the side frame and connected to a driving motor, and a transmission mechanism that connects the driving-force transmission shaft and the driving shaft, the transmission mechanism connects the driving-force transmission shaft and the driving shaft at a position on a main shaft side in a width direction of the side frame from a connection position between the driving shaft and a swing mechanism.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A loom comprising: a driving shaft to which a main shaft of the loom is connected and to which a swing shaft for driving a reed to swing is connected via a swing mechanism; a driving motor to which the driving shaft is connected via a driving-force transmission mechanism to rotationally drive the driving shaft; a braking device that applies a brake to the main shaft connected to the driving shaft; and a housing-shaped side frame that accommodates the driving shaft and the swing shaft in an orientation in which each axial direction of the driving shaft and the swing shaft matches with a width direction, wherein the driving-force transmission mechanism includes a driving-force transmission shaft that is provided so as to protrude from a side wall of the side frame while extending parallel to the driving shaft within a space of the side frame and connected to the driving motor, and a transmission mechanism that connects the driving-force transmission shaft and the driving shaft so as to transmit rotation of the driving-force transmission shaft by the driving motor to the main shaft via the driving shaft, and the connection by the transmission mechanism is performed at a position between a connection position between the driving shaft and the swing mechanism and a connection position between the driving shaft and the main shaft, in the width direction. 2. The loom according to claim 1 , wherein the transmission mechanism is a gear train including a driving gear attached to the driving-force transmission shaft and a driven gear attached to the driving shaft. 3. The loom according to claim 1 , wherein the braking device is connected to the driving-force transmission shaft to apply a brake to the driving shaft via the driving-force transmission shaft. 4. The loom according to claim 2 , wherein the braking device is connected to the driving-force transmission shaft to apply a brake to the driving shaft via the driving-force transmission shaft. 5. The loom according to claim 2 , wherein the driving shaft is a crank-shaped shaft formed as an eccentric portion of which an intermediate portion is eccentric with respect to both side portions, and the swing mechanism is connected to the eccentric portion. 6. The loom according to claim 4 , wherein the driving shaft is a crank-shaped shaft formed as an eccentric portion of which an intermediate portion is eccentric with respect to both side portions, and the swing mechanism is connected to the eccentric portion.
