PCT No. PCT/GB92/00247 Sec. 371 Date Aug. 13, 1993 Sec. 102(e) Date Aug. 13, 1993 PCT Filed Feb. 12, 1992 PCT Pub. No. WO92/14876 PCT Pub. Date Sep. 3, 1992.A process for weaving using a reed having vertically aligned upper and lower reed portions with the reed portions being relatively movable in a weft direction. The process includes transferring warp yarns between the reed portions, moving the transferred warp yarns in the weft direction to define a selected array of warp yarns, and then shedding the array of warp yarns for insertion of weft yarn. A weaving loom head is also provided including a reed having vertically aligned upper and lower reed portions, a plurality of healds each releasably engagable with an individual warp yarn for moving selected warp yarns from one reed portion to the other, and a selectively operable drive mechanism for causing relative movement between the reed portions by a predetermined spacing in the weft direction. Weaves may accordingly be produced including warp threads extending parallel to and/or inclined to the fabric take-off direction. Inclination of the warp threads may be in a horizontal and/or vertical plane. The warp yarns are woven with weft yarns that may extend in a direction generally perpendicular to the take-off direction and/or may be inclined in horizontal and/or vertical plane. Also, complex weaves may be produced wherein the weave pattern can be selectively changed as the weaving process progresses. |
