Loom Temple Device Detachable Support Segmentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing full-width temple device for looms is cumbersome and time-consuming to operate when detaching the ring bar temple, requiring significant effort and interfering with peripheral devices due to its configuration, which hinders efficient maintenance and operation.
Innovation Solution
The full-width temple device incorporates support parts with detachable attachment members and a split clamping structure, allowing for easy engagement and disengagement of the ring bar temple from the base plate, enabling simpler detachment and maintenance without disrupting peripheral devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the ring bar temple is supported at shaft parts by sidewalls attached to the cover, then the temple bar is securely held in the space, but the detachment operation becomes complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The support structure is segmented into two independent parts: sidewalls that remain attached to the cover and support parts that are detachably attached to the base plate. This segmentation allows the ring bar temple to be detached by simply removing the support parts, without needing to detach the cover or sidewalls, thereby simplifying the operation while maintaining secure support during operation
Solution Approach 2:
The support parts act as intermediary components between the base plate and the ring bar temple. These support parts with engaging parts (such as engaging holes or clamping structures) provide a mediating interface that allows easy attachment and detachment of the temple bar from the base plate, resolving the contradiction between secure support and easy operation
2Reliability
If both sidewalls are provided attached to outer surfaces of the cover, then the ring bar temple is fully supported, but peripheral devices cannot access the detachment operation
Solution Approach 1:
The support function is extracted from the cover-attached sidewalls and transferred to separate support parts that attach to the base plate. This extraction removes the obstruction (sidewalls attached to cover) that prevented peripheral device access, while the support function remains complete through the support parts positioned at the appropriate locations
Solution Approach 2:
The support structure is repositioned from a vertical attachment (sidewalls on cover outer surfaces) to a horizontal/detachable attachment (support parts on base plate). This dimensional change in the attachment location allows peripheral devices to access the detachment operation without interfering with the support function
3Ease of operation
If the cover is detached to remove the ring bar temple, then the temple bar can be accessed, but the operation becomes troublesome requiring detachment of peripheral devices
Solution Approach 1:
The support system is segmented such that the support parts are detachably attached to the base plate independently from the cover. This segmentation creates a separate detachment path where the ring bar temple can be removed by simply detaching the support parts, avoiding the need to detach the cover or peripheral devices, and reducing operational complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The support parts are designed with preliminary detachable attachment to the base plate, prepared in advance for easy removal. This preliminary configuration allows the ring bar temple to be accessed and detached through a simple, pre-prepared interface rather than requiring complex disassembly of the cover and peripheral devices

AI summary
A full-width temple device (2) for a loom including: a base body (10) including a base plate (10a); a cover (11) provided on the base plate; and a temple bar (13) accommodated in a space defined by the base plate and the cover, where the temple bar is a ring bar temple constituted by a rod-shaped inner bar (14) and ring temples (15) provided continuously to both sides of the inner bar and having shaft parts (19) for support at both ends. The base body (10) has support parts (10b) at both end portions for supporting the ring bar temple (13) on the shaft parts (19). The full-width temple device (2) includes attachment members (30) each detachably attached to each of the support parts and comprising a plate-shaped shaft fixing part having an engaging part (32) formed to engage with a circumferential surface of the shaft part (19).
