French term

bielle d’attaque

French to English Tech/Engineering Textiles / Clothing / Fashion Weaving machines
Context:
- Le mécanisme de tirage comprend une première bielle d’attaque, attelée au premier levier de sortie de la première lame et qui entraîne au moins un premier levier de renvoi sur lequel est attelée une première bielle au cadre, et une deuxième bielle d’attaque, attelée au deuxième levier de sortie de la deuxième lame et qui entraîne au moins un deuxième levier de renvoi sur lequel est attelée une deuxième bielle au cadre, alors que les première et deuxième bielles au cadre sont attelées au même cadre de lisses.

I`m OK with connecting rod for "bielle" but what is the "attaque" part?

Translated as either driving rods or frame rods.
TIA Chris.
Proposed translations (English)
1 draw(ing) rod
3 drive/driving rods

@Emmanuella Please see my answer. I have explained the difference between 'driving rods' and 'connecting rod'.

Je viens de trouver un document trilingue dans lequel la traduction de 'bielle d'attaque' est en effet ' connecting rod'...
Bashiqa (asker) Apr 26:
@ Emmanuella Thank you, as in actuating rod? The further I get with the document, it appears that no matter what the term in French, the translation is connecting rod. IMHO a few different names would not be a bad thing to distinguish one from the other. Having 8 or more different part numbers all called connecting rod is not desirable.

draw(ing) rod

Not specifically related to looms, but:
bielle d'attaque = bielle de commande = actuating rod, control rod

I can't help wondering if the bielle d'attaque, being sometimes referred to as the bielle d'attaque du tirage is not simply the 'draw rod' or 'drawing rod', as here for instance: https://ia902708.us.archive.org/30/items/jacquardmechanis00b...

Hi, did you use these books when you were at school? I`ll give you an update once I`ve read them, sometime next year. Thanks, Chris.

drive/driving rods

I think //driving rods// is more appropriate than //connecting rod//

Here is why:
Driving Rod specifically implies that the rod is actively involved in driving or propelling a mechanism. A //driving rod// would be responsible for moving parts of the machine that directly influence the weaving process, such as levers or other mechanical linkages that facilitate the movement of the heddles or the shuttle.

While

Connecting Rod is commonly used in engines and other mechanical systems to describe a component that connects two parts (typically a piston and crankshaft), it generally focuses more on the aspect of connection rather than the active driving of a process. The primary function described seems to be more about driving the mechanism rather than just connecting components.
