WEAVING DEVICE

摘要

The invention relates to a weaving device comprising means for forming a shed (3) of warp yarns (2, 4), with insertion means (30) being disposed on one side or both sides of the shed for inserting a weft yarn (20) formed into a closely packed ball of yarn, which packed ball of yarn unwinds into an elongated weft yarn upon insertion into the shed, said weft yarn having a front yarn end (23) and a rear yarn end (21), seen in the direction of insertion. According to the invention, the weaving device comprises means (10) that orient the rear yarn end (21) substantially in line with one side of the shed. In this way the length of the weft yarns to be inserted can be fully geared to the width of the shed, so that unnecessary yarn waste is prevented.
