US Patent 3,455,339, granted 15 July 1969 to Wolfgang Seiler of Rheydt, Germany, and assigned to Maschinenfabrik Oskar Schleicher. It describes a double-lift, open-shed Jacquard loom in which two sets of griffes move in opposite directions without their paths crossing, which shortens the loom. Each hook has a two-armed pivoting lever with two noses and a bar spring, so the hook is deflected by the main needles for a shorter time and wears less. The document has drawings of the hook and shedding positions, a description of the operating sequence, three claims and cited references.
