WEAVING MACHINE HAVING MOVABLE LIMITING MEANS, AND A METHOD FOR PRODUCING A WOVEN FABRIC

摘要

Weaving machine (1) for producing a woven fabric (9) with shedding means (4) for alternately raising and lowering warp material (3) in order to form a shed (5), with weft insertion means (6) which are arranged in the warp direction in a stationary manner in a weft insertion zone (14) in order to insert a preferably tape-shaped weft material (7) into the shed (5), with draw-off means (8) for drawing off the finished material (9) in a drawing-off direction (AR), and with means (13, 10) for moving the material in the warp direction, by means of which means (13, 10) the selvedge (12) can be moved to and fro in a material movement range (WB) between an initial position (AG) which lies to the bottom and a collecting position (AH) which lies to the top, in order to bring the weft material (7) inserted last in each case into contact with the selvedge (12) in the collecting position (AH), characterized in that, furthermore, upper and lower limiting means (16) are provided which limit the opening of the shed (5), in that the limiting means (16) can be moved to and fro in the warp direction within a limiting-means movement range (BB) between an end position (EP2) which lies to the top and an end position (EP1) which lies to the bottom, and in that the limiting means (16) can be moved, at least counter to the drawing-off direction (AR), substantially without contact with the material (9) and/or a last-inserted weft material (7).
