DEVICE FOR FORMING A SELVAGE

摘要

A device for forming a selvage with a fabric, comprising a rotatably mounted support for a binding thread supply and at least two binding thread guide members secured to an endless support means guided along an elongated endless path for guiding a corresponding number of binding threads from a binding thread supply to a fixed binding point, a common thread guide having a slot shaped guiding aperture being provided between the binding thread guide members on the one hand and the binding thread supply on the other hand, said guide being rotatably mounted in synchronism with the support means in its plane perpendicular to the plane of the support means, such that the distance between the support means and the adjacent end of the guiding aperture is minimum when the binding thread guide members are at or near the ends of their elongated path of movement.
