摘要

A leno selvage device and method of forming a leno selvage for a loom wherein a pair of leno threads extend from supply packages through a pair of thread guides to the selvage. The thread guides are rotated around a horizontal axis which lies substantially between and intermediate the guides so that the guides will alternately occupy upper and lower shed positions and are caused to dwell in the upper and lower shed positions. The device includes a stationary cam surface which curcumscribes said axis and a lever for each guide which is attached to the guide at one end and to a cam follower at its other end for engagement with the cam surface.
