<p>An apparatus for producing a woven slide fastener stringer includes a loom (11) for weaving a stringer tape (12) and a rotor assembly (13) for coiling an element-forming monofilament (14) around a mandrel (24) to form a coiled coupling element (26), which is then woven into the stringer tape along a longitudinal edge thereof. The rotor assembly (13) comprises a rotor (33) rotatably mounted eccentrically on a stationary shaft (34) and having a guide hole (43)for passage therethrough of the monofilament (14) and a pin (44) angularly spaced 180 degrees from the guide slot and slidably received in a radial slot (48) in a radial arm (47) to which there is drivingly connected a drive shaft (36) rotatably mounted on the stationary shaft (34). When the drive gear (49) rotates, the guide hole (43) rotates at a reduced angular velocity as it approaches the loom, thereby allowing harnesses (31) for warp threads (30) which bind the coupling element (26) to be moved across the orbital path (55) for the monofilament (14) without interference.</p> |
