Abstract

The sley drive uses a sley shaft which is separated into shaft portions which are oscillated within bearings and a balance weight in the form of a shaft section offset from and located between each pair of sley shaft portions. The balance weight is coupled at each end to a sley shaft portion and, intermediately, to the reed via sley levers and a sley so that the center of gravity of the unit composed of the parts moved by the sley shaft is located in coincidence with the axis about which the sley shaft oscillates.
