CLIP FOR FABRIC TENTERING DEVICE Russian patent published in 1994 - IPC

FIELD: textile engineering. SUBSTANCE: clip comprises body with table, and valve rotating on horizontal axle and provided with follow-up roller. The horizontal axle is installed in valve through a helical bushing with counter-directed coils and can rotate freely both in the valve and in the body. Longitudinal movement of the axle in the body is limited by pins. Flexible members are installed between the axle limiting pins and its ends. Flexible washers are disposed between lugs in the body and valve. Length of cutter holder in the valve is 25-30 mm longer than cutter proper and holder has chamfers on protruding ends for better interaction with adjacent clips. Flexible members and washers are made of a material with a low coefficient of friction. EFFECT: design of clip ensures its higher reliability and longer service, and reduces noise of clip chain. 3 cl, 5 dwg
