Narrow fabric machine - produces top and bottom band with warp pile for tubular effect

摘要

A narrow fabric machine produces a top and bottom band with a warp pile connecting them at intervals. There is a temple guide for the top and for the bottom band. The reed is angled to permit a wider shed opening than with a straight reed. Pref. the bottom band is woven the required width, with the top band the same or narrower. Between the two, a pile is introduced only at certain intervals. This is drawn from separate reels of warp threads and is woven into both top and bottom bands. The pile thread must be released easily from the reels. The reed is angled to given an increased shed face. The temple guides support the top and bottom fabric at the correct height, and keep the pile constantly at the same height. ADVANTAGE - The pile height can be arranged as required and will remain constant.
