WEAVING ROTOR FOR A LINEAR SHED MULTIPHASE PNEUMATIC LOOM

摘要

The weaving rotor has a row of radial bores disposed on a generatrix coincident with the relay nozzles of a picking comb. A stationary control tube which is supplied with compressed air is disposed within the rotor and has a row of slots which register with the rotor bores and which are disposed on a helix offset from the generatrix of the rotor bores in the direction of rotation. During rotation of the rotor, air is sequentially directed to the relay nozzles. The control tube also has a second row of bores to permit the blowing of air through all of the relay nozzles simultaneously.
