Means for weaving a three-dimensional multi-axial fabric by the use of rods, in which, during weaving while preventing the rods inserted along the weft direction from dropping by a dropping-preventive wall, a full length of the rod in the weft direction is positively used, effective beating-up is enabled by a simple structure, and a device for inserting weft-ward running rods is simplified. In weaving a three-dimensional multi-axial fabric (3), a plurality of weft-ward running rods (2a) are inserted by a rod-insertion device (15) along the slant direction toward a group of warp-ward running rods (1), and weft-ward running rods piercing through and beyond the group of warp-ward running rods are received by a fabric guide (24) composing a dropping-preventive wall. The fabric guide is formed into a cylinder, when viewed along the axial line of the warp-ward running rod, for embracing the fabric to be woven with a gap therebetween and for guiding the woven fabric. The weft-ward running rods are inserted through a portion outside the end of the fabric guide or a hole formed by cutting off a pard of the guide. In this way, the rod insertion device need not be disposed spaced apart from the dropping-preventive wall and thus formation of said wall with the fabric guide is possible independent of the rod insertion device, whereby the length of the weft-ward running rod is fully used. |
