US Patent 4,057,084 (granted 8 November 1977) for an improved Jacquard harness on a weaving machine, specifically the edge or name-weaving Jacquard that weaves names and trademarks into fabric selvedges. Rigid connecting rods joined by pivotal joints carry comber boards with mirror-image guide bores, so heddle spacing can be adjusted for different fabric widths without retying the harness cords. The scan holds the USPTO web printout (abstract, claims, description) and the original patent print with three sheets of drawings (Figs. 1-4).
