摘要

A shed formation apparatus having increased flexibility and speed. The shed formation apparatus is comprised of a plurality of movable heddles which are connected to a plurality of heddle selectors by a first plurality of control leads. The heddle selectors are movably connected to a plurality of heddle selector controllers which include stoppers to retard the movement of the heddle selectors. A second plurality of control leads are attached to the heddle selectors. A repeat pattern output apparatus determines the movement of the second plurality of control leads and the attached heddle selectors, and selectively activates the stoppers.
