Abstract
A device for forming a shed in weaving machines includes a harness and coupling elements for coupling the harness to a drive mechanism. The height of the harnesses is made adjustable by mounting respective coupling elements on setting screws integrated into the side beams of the harness elements and movable relative to the side beams for enabling individual height adjustment of each harness element relative to its coupling element. Because the height adjustment is done on the harness itself, the height adjustment can be done when the harness is inside as well as outside the weaving machine. The setting screws extend through the side beams to the coupling elements, which are situated below the harness, adjustment being effected by turning the screws from the top of the side beams to move of the harness up and down relative to the ends of the setting screws and coupling elements coupled thereto at the bottom of the side beams.
