Shedding mechanism in travelling-wave-shed looms.

摘要

A weaving loom of the kind comprising a carrier (6) for at least one shuttle (5, 5') and a stationary frame (1) accommodating a reed of wires or dents (7) disposed in a plane extending parallel to the direction of movement of the shuttle carrier (6) to guide the warp threads to a place where the weft thread is introduced by means of the shuttle. A freely rotatable toothed wheel (4) being mounted on the shuttle carrier (6) in front of the corresponding shuttle, at an angle to the reed plane and in engagement with the reed wires or dents (7) to form a shuttle shed. The toothed wheel (4) is mounted on the opposite side of the reed plane with respect to the shuttle arrangement in order to provide better space for the shuttle arrangement. <IMAGE>
