CIRCULAR LOOM

摘要

A circular loom comprises a machine frame including an upper and a lower running race. Between the running races, a reed and at least one shuttle are arranged. The shuttle is guided in the running races by running rollers arranged on its front and rear ends and is drivable by a catch roller arranged on a rotor. In order to provide an improved shuttle drive that is less susceptible to failures and with which the shuttle will not be pressed out of the running races, the catch roller is in contact with a running roller arranged on the front end of the shuttle during operation and is provided between the running rollers arranged on the front and rear ends of the shuttle.
