ABSTRACT:
A center brace apparatus for a loom frame or harness that extends between an upper and lower elongated frame members. One or more center brace members extend between the elongated frame members in abutting relationship therewith and are clamped to an associated frame member for a quick and simple installation and release. The center brace member is an elongated member that has T-shaped end or foot portions that abut surfaces on the elongated frame members. On each of the frame members is a clamping assembly that includes a hollow support bracket member with top, bottom and side walls. A sliding block member is disposed inside of the hollow bracket support member for sliding contact with side walls of the support bracket member. A screw member is received through one wall member and threadedly engages the slidable block member through a threaded opening in the slidable block member for moving the block member toward and away from the center brace member. A pair of U-shaped strip members or straps are pivotally mounted on the sliding block member for insertion over the T-shaped end portions of the center brace member. In one embodiment the center brace member is a relatively thin rod and in another embodiment the center brace member is a bifurcated member.
The bifurcated member is relatively wide and has channel portions that extend for substantially the entire length of the member. At one end of the center brace member are bifurcated elements that define a narrow slot extending along the center line of the member towards the center thereof with the slot opening increasing towards the center of the member.
