<p>In forming a multi-axial yarn structure (10) a bias yarn assembly forming device (18) makes use of cooperating yarn guide and yarn transfer members (21,22) having yarn guide elements (26,28) defining guide and transfer openings (27,29) which hold warp yarns (11,12) spaced apart in the weft direction. Warp yarn transfer from an opening in one member to an opening in the other member is facilitated by providing the guide elements (26,28) of the two members (21,22) with cooperating complementary salient and re-entrant inclined end portions (263,283). Furthermore, a yarn diverter blade (292) extends from the end portion (263,283) of each guide element (26,28) of one of the members (21,22) to hold the transferring yarns (11,12) away from the junctions (290,291) between the cooperating end portions (263,283) of the guide elements (26,28). To facilitate insertion of binding warp yarns (13) two sets (18A,18B) of yarn guide and yarn transfer members are provided to hold the yarns (11,12) spaced apart to form binding warp yarn insertion zones (301) between the two sets (18A,18B). A yarn beat-up member (305) carries out successive beat-up cycles in cooperation with a yarn engagement transfer member (306) which assists the beat-up member (305) during the beat-up cycle. <IMAGE></p> |
