Travelling-wave loom with loom-stopping mechanism

摘要

A mechanism of a travelling-wave loom comprises a rotary reed and a separating grate composed of pivoted and stationary portions forming a channel for the weft thread carriers to be partially accommodated therein. Each of the portions is formed by plates, the pivoted portion having a plurality of strips swivelled to the stationary portion. Attached to each strip are plates of the pivoted portion. Near the strips there are installed devices adapted to cooperate therewith and to accomplish coupling thereof with the stop motion of the loom. This makes it possible to minimize the probability of damage to the plates of the separating grate and to improve the reliability of operation of the loom.
