The invention relates to a method for producing textile structures, in particular pile goods, e.g. B. in the form of carpets, upholstered furniture covers, wall hangings or the like.

Furthermore, the invention relates to a device for Manufacture of textile structures, especially one Device for performing the method according to the Invention.

It is already known to manufacture Florware that Use tufting process, in which in a pre manufactured carrier fabric using a variety of needles Pile threads are classified to form pile nubs. Using such tufting techniques, for example loop pile or cut pile in Form of carpets or carpets can be made. The cut pile fabric differs from that Loop pile goods in that the cut pile trained pole loops subsequently still open be cut. It is also known tufting carpets che with i. w. U-shaped studs in one step produce (see. DE-PS 23 56 585).

For the colored surface design of tufted Florware, however, is required to retrofit these to color, for example with the help of the so-called piece  staining in the case of a raw white tufted carpet floor is colored in one piece.

The present invention is based on the object a new process for the manufacture of textile Gebil to specify the, in particular of Florware, their pattern tion and / or coloring, especially multicolored top surface design in practically any way possible light is.

This task is done in a manufacturing process of textile structures according to the invention thereby ge solves that according to a real, especially punk currently scannable and / or storable image, pattern or such a template or in accordance with a imaginary image, pattern or equivalent Template in a predefined, textile carrier material for the textile structure pile threads incorporated in the manner that the places of incorporation of the pile threads automatically controlled and thereby the image, Pattern or the like point by point in the form ent speaking tufts on the backing becomes.

In this case, a predeterminable number is preferred of different colored pile threads in the carrier material incorporated.

A very advantageous development of the method is that the places of incorporation little at least one pile thread of a particular one Color in the carrier material automatically controlled will. For incorporating the pile threads into the textile  The surface material is preferably the carrier material of this carrier material periodically scanned, ins special about in the way that a row and column scanning of the substrate surface A predetermined grid matrix is provided.

This can be an extremely advantageous further The procedural measure consists in that everyone according to measure successively controlled with the given grid matrix Instead of incorporating a pile thread, select one colored pile thread from the available An number of different colored pile threads is fed.

In the method according to the invention, textiles can be Carrier or base material with practically any pre-selected given dimensions, d. H. in terms of length, width and starch, in particular sheet-like supports material if it is about the production of pile goods in the form of carpets or carpets.

According to a very advantageous further embodiment the method according to the invention provides that the in particular different colored pile threads one first surface of the carrier material are supplied and that the incorporation of the pile threads into the carrier material from a second, the first surface against overlying surface of the carrier material follows, in such a way that the resulting Tufts on the first surface of the substrate arise.

The feeding of the pile threads to the first surface of the Carrier material is preferably carried out by means of at least  a controllable and relative to the first carrier material surface intermittent in an x / y plane movable thread take-up. At the same time, the one Working the pile threads using at least one tax ed, on the carrier material from its second upper surface acting thread gripper take place after the Requirement of the given grid matrix relative to the Trä germ material is moved intermittently.

In a very advantageous way, the Be movements of thread take-up (s) and thread gripper (s) relative to coordinate with each other or syn chronize so that each position of the pile thread feeder with a position of the pile thread work coincides. It is also advantageous if the Movements of thread take-up (s) and thread gripper (s) one continuous or intermittent feed motion of the carrier material are superimposed.

Further advantageous method configurations result arising from claims 13-19.

The method according to the invention practically allows in a work process in particular the production of multicolored textile structures, for example with 25 different colors at the same time, being beyond the display of any images or patterns the resulting textile structure is guaranteed, because this image or pattern comes into shape point by point talking pimples on the textile base or backing germ material is transferred.  

An extraordinarily high nub density is also made possible here, for example 25 × 10 ⁴ nubs / m ² .

According to the method design according to claim 18 can advantageously the entire production process compu run controlled, especially the movements of at least one thread feeder and at least one a thread gripper, the feed movement of the carrier materials and the cutting movements of at least one associated pile thread cutting knife automatically be controlled.

Fig. 9 is a block diagram of a computer-controlled means for automatically incorporating pile threads in a textile carrier material, especially in combination with means for generating a movement of a thread timer.

As can be seen from FIG. 1, a textile carrier material 1 in the form of a transportable carrier material web, of which only a limited section is shown in FIG. 1, is moved in the direction of arrow P ₁ . The carrier material 1 has a predefined width of, for example, 4 m and a predefined material thickness, a first (upper) surface 23 and an opposite second (lower) surface 24 of the carrier material 1 being defined.

At a predetermined distance above the first surface 23 of the carrier material 1 , a schematically illustrated, controllable thread transmitter 14 is arranged, which serves to feed a number of pile threads to the first carrier material surface 23 . The thread transmitter 14 has in particular a parallel to the surface 23 de, essentially square perforated plate 2 , in which holes 3 are formed in columns and rows, in the present example five holes in each column and row, so that the perforated plate 2nd has a total of 25 holes 3 . Instead of a quadrati's perforated plate 2 , a round or oval or otherwise contoured perforated plate could also be provided. In any case, each one hole 3 of the perforated plate 2 is assigned a pile thread, for example in FIG. 1 a first pile thread with the reference number 4 , a second pile thread with the reference number 4 'and a third pile thread with the reference number 4 ''Are designated. These are preferably pile threads with different colors, so that in the present example a total of 25 pile threads with different colors are available. To the thread encoder 14 still belongs, what is the sake of simplicity in Fig. 1, a pile thread delivery device with associated Florfa denvorratsollen so that each pile thread with a specific color can be passed through a hole 3 of the perforated plate 2 therethrough. Such a pile feed device 29 is shown schematically in FIG. 8b, for example.

With the help of the perforated plate 2 , a pile of thread with a specific color is thus supplied to the first surface 23 of the carrier material 1 . In addition, the thread feeder 14 with its perforated plate 2 can be moved intermittently relative to the first surface 23 in an x / y plane, ie in the directions of the arrows P ₂ and P ₃ , as will be explained in more detail with reference to FIG. 2. The incorporation of the different colored pile threads 4 , 4 ', 4 '', ... into the textile carrier material 1 is carried out by means of a controllable thread gripper 5 , which acts on the carrier material 1 from its second surface 24 and at a predetermined distance below the web of the carrier material 1 is arranged. The thread gripper 5 essentially has a thread gripper housing 6 and a hollow needle 7 stored therein, such that the upper portion of the hollow needle 7 projects in the direction of the lower surface 24 of the carrier material 1 , while a lower portion 7 'of the hollow hollow 7 located within the thread gripper housing 6 . The facing the second surface 24 of the carrier material 1 end of the hollow suction needle 7 has a bevel 13 , with a needle tip 13 'formed thereby (see FIG. 4), this beveled hollow suction needle end for piercing the carrier material 1 in the upward direction the perforated plate 2 is used. This penetration is made possible by the fact that the suction hollow needle 7 can be moved up and down in the direction according to arrow P ₅ perpendicular to the plane of the carrier material 1 , for this purpose the thread gripper housing 6 has an upper opening 8 through which the we substantial hollow cylindrical suction needle 7 is displaceable therethrough.

As can be seen from Fig. 4, are arranged within the thread gripper housing 6 of the thread gripper 5 schematically shown and not executed in detail means 15 for generating the above-mentioned up and down movements of the hollow suction needle 7 , as well as a suction pump 16 or the like, also shown mathematically ., Which is permanently connected to the lower section 7 'of the hollow suction needle via a suction line 17 . The up and down movements of the hollow suction needle 7 in the direction of the arrow P ₅ and the associated suction processes for gripping one of the upper openings of the hollow suction needle 7 at one end of a pile thread 4 are explained in more detail below with reference to FIG. 3. However, another embodiment is also conceivable, according to which the entire thread gripper 5 can be moved up and down in the direction of arrow P ₅ .

As FIG. 1 also shows, a controllable pile thread cutting device 9 is also arranged above the first surface 23 of the carrier material 1 , which is preferably - as is not shown in FIG. 1 - an integral part of the thread transmitter 14 and for cutting the respective pile thread 4 fed by the thread transmitter 14 and gripped by the thread gripper 5 , each serving an individual incorporation point of this pile thread into the carrier material 1 . The pile thread cutter device 9 essentially has a drive shaft 10 with a knife 11 mounted thereon and approximately sickle-shaped, the drive shaft 10 being rotatable in the direction of arrow P _{6 in} order here to be cut by a preferably intermittent, cutting movement of the knife 11 to effect which is coordinated with the process of incorporating pile threads into the carrier material 1 . Details of the function and the cutting movements of the knife 11 are described in more detail below with reference to FIG. 3. However, it should be noted that the pile thread cutting device 9 may not only be a device with a rotatable knife 11 , but also a device with a reciprocating knife or a knife which is moved in some other way corresponding pile thread cutting function can act. The geometric shape of the knife 11 can also be of any type, ie not only round or curved, as shown in FIG. 1, but also straight or otherwise shaped. In addition, it should also be pointed out that the knife 11 preferably cooperates with one of the first surface 23 of the carrier material 1 , serving as counter knife surface 18 (cf. FIG. 6a) of the perforated plate 2 of the thread dispenser 14 during the cutting process. For this reason, the choice of material for knives 11 and for lower, counter-serving surface 18 of perforated plate 2 is appropriately agreed, in particular a special design of this serving as counter-knife underside can also be provided in order to thereby interact with knife 11 to ensure a very good shear effect when cutting pile threads.

Fig. 2 illustrates the mobility of the thread transmitter 14 and its perforated plate 2 with z. B. a total of six ten holes 3 relative to the first surface 23 of the carrier material 1 in an x / y plane, which is defined by the arrows P ₂ and P ₃ . The movement of this thread transmitter 14 is preferably intermittent, depending on the successive A workstations, and the movements of Fa dengeber 14 and thread gripper 5 relative to the carrier material rial 1 are coordinated or synchronized, so that each position of the pile feed through the thread encoder 14 with a position of the pile thread processing coincided by means of the thread gripper 5 . In other words, the respective point of Einar processing a pile thread 4 in the carrier material 1 by the respective position of the thread gripper 5 with respect to the second (lower) surface 24 of the carrier material 1 is determined, and exactly in such a position must be Thread gripper 5 through a hole 3 of the perforated plate 2 of the thread transmitter 14, a pile thread end be offered. As a result of the controllability of the thread generator 14 , as will be explained further below with reference to FIG. 9, there is the possibility, in each position which the thread gripper 5 assumes, of a selectable colored pile thread from the number of differently colored pile threads available feed the perforated plate 2 . Fig. 2 shows, for example, how the perforated plate 2 of the thread transmitter 14 can assume three different positions within the x / y plane, in order to feed through each hole 3 a pile thread with a selectable color to the first surface 23 of the carrier material 1 , which in turn is set in the direction of arrow P ₁ during the manufacturing process in a feed movement.

Fig. 3 shows in detail how the pile threads 4 , 4 'leads to the first surface 23 of the carrier material 1 and how the incorporation of these pile threads takes place from the second, opposite surface 24 of the carrier material 1 , so that this results in the first surface 23 protruding tufts are formed, which consist of corresponding pile thread pieces 12 and 12 '. Here again it is assumed that the supply of the pile threads 4 and 4 'in the direction of the first surface 23 by means of the thread generator 14 and its perforated plate 2 , as shown in FIGS . 1 and 2, in Fig. 3 the simplicity because of this perforated plate 2 is not shown. With reference to FIG. 3 it is explained that per incorporation point of a pile thread 4 or a pile thread 4 'each have a cyclic operation of the thread gripper 5 and, more precisely, of the hollow hollow needle 7 . This cyclic operation is determined by the following clock cycle, with a pile thread 4 being first fed through a first hole in the perforated plate 2 to the pile thread processing point provided:

At point A , the hollow suction needle 7 is moved upwards in the direction toward the carrier material 1 in such a way that it comes to a first puncture of this carrier material from its second surface 24 towards its first surface 23 , the upward movement of the Hollow suction needle 7 is continued until its upper end has reached the corresponding opening in the perforated plate, so that the end of the pile thread 4 fed to it is then gripped by the hollow suction needle 7 , namely by the fact that the suction process begins ("suction" a), that is, a portion of the pile thread 4 of predetermined length is sucked into the interior of the hollow suction needle 7 by this process.

At point B of the clock cycle, the pile thread sucked into the hollow needle 7 is pulled through the carrier material 1 from its first surface 23 towards the opposite second surface 24 until the needle tip 13 'of the hollow needle 7 is in turn below the second upper surface 24 is located, and this downward movement of the hollow suction needle 7 is indicated by the arrow P ₇ . As soon as the hollow suction needle 7 has reached the position shown in point B , the suction process is switched off again (“suction” off), so that it is then possible to proceed to point C of the cycle.

At this point C there is a renewed upward movement of the hollow suction needle 7 in the direction of the arrow P ₈ , so that this hollow suction needle with the pile of thread sucked into it pierces the carrier material 1 a second time. At the same time, a cutting movement of the knife 11 is effected, whereby the pile thread 4 is cut below the perforated plate 2 , so that a separate pile thread piece 12 is formed. Simultaneously, hollow suction needle 7 moves with its needle tip 13 'approximately to the middle between the first surface 23 and the underside of the perforated plate 2 , the pile of thread being sucked in released from the hollow suction needle 7 again. In the meantime, the knife 11 has withdrawn into its rest position. Point C according to FIG. 3 thus clearly shows that the process of cutting the pile thread 4 is synchronized with the process of pushing the substrate 1 a second time through the hollow suction needle 7 .

At this first clock cycle of working the suction hollow needle 7 follows a second clock cycle, which is defined by the points A ', B ' and C '.

First, however, between the point C of the first stroke cycle and the point A "of the second stroke cycle, the thread transmitter 14 with perforated plate 2 according to FIG. 1 is repositioned such that the further incorporation point is now another pile thread 4 'with a different color In addition, but also in the interval between the points C and A 'the thread gripper 5 with its hollow suction needle 7 has been moved to the second familiarization point, which is practically immediately next to the first familiarization point with the knob formed there (pile thread piece 12 ) , so that now at point A 'a new clock cycle begins, which proceeds in the same way as the first clock cycle A , B and C.

Thus, at point A 'again a first piercing of the carrier material 1 and a subsequent gripping of the hollow needle 7 through a second hole of the perforated plate 2 supplied end of the pile thread 4 ', the suction process commencing at the same time. At point B 'the pile thread end is again pulled through the carrier material 1 down to un indirectly below the second surface 24 (arrow P ₉ ), the suction process then being interrupted again in the position of the hollow suction needle 7 which has now been reached. Finally, there is a second puncture of the carrier material 1 (arrow P ₁₀ ) at point C ', for cutting the sucked-in end of the pile thread 4 ', in such a way that now a second pile thread piece 12 'is formed for a knob and one Let go or slide out of the other end of the pile thread piece 12 'from the upper opening of the hollow needle 7 . The knife 11 returns to its starting position, and a next cycle can begin.

As already mentioned further above, corresponding means 15 in the thread gripper housing 6 (cf. FIG. 4) are arranged for generating the cyclical up and down movements of the hollow suction needle 7 , which z. B. cooperate with the lower section 7 'of the hollow suction needle 7 .

With reference to FIGS. 4 and 5 or the other movements of the thread gripper 5 will now be explained relative to the carrier mate rial. 1 The entire thread gripper 5 moves intermittently from a knob incorporation point to the un immediately following in the direction of arrow P ₄ transversely to the longitudinal extent of the web formed by the carrier material 1 , that is, between the one side edge 1 'and the opposite side edge 1 ''of the carrier mat rials and then back again in the opposite direction, as he is explained in detail with reference to FIG. 5. In this way, each of the pile thread pieces 12 are worked into the carrier material 1 to form corresponding knobs in the transverse direction according to the arrow P ₄ at the successive incorporation points.

Fig. 4 also shows that in the area of the thread gripper housing 6 additionally schematically shown means 15 'for generating rotary movements of the hollow aspirating needle are arranged about its longitudinal axis. These rotary movements of the hollow suction needle 7 take place in the direction of arrow P ₁₁ according to FIG. 4, alternately once in one direction of rotation and in the opposite direction of rotation. In detail, these rotary movements of the hollow suction needle 7 result from FIG. 5. This also shows that to incorporate the pile threads, the surface of the carrier material 1 is periodically scanned by the thread gripper with its suction hollow needle 7 in accordance with a predetermined grid matrix. It is first assumed that the hollow suction needle 7 takes the position shown in FIG. 5, bottom left, in which the hollow suction needle 7 is practically near the first side edge 1 'of the carrier material 1 . Here, the hollow suction needle 7 assumes such a rotational position with respect to its longitudinal axis that the needle tip 13 'defined by the bevel 13 ' points exactly in the direction R ₁ , ie the needle tip 13 'points exactly in the direction of advance R _{1 of} the intermittently guer to the carrier material 1 moving suction needle 7 . This has, above all, the reason that one end of the sucked Florfa denstückes 12 and 12 '(see. Fig. 3) after the second piercing of the substrate 1 well and safely th from the upper opening of the hollow needle 7 can slide out. The hollow suction needle 7 is then withdrawn again and the entire thread gripper 5 goes one step further to the next pile thread processing point. As a result, the carrier material web is _first scanned transversely in the direction R ₁ until finally the hollow suction needle 7 near the second side edge 1 '' of the carrier material 1 has reached. At this time, as shown in FIG. 5, a rotary movement of the hollow suction needle 7 about its longitudinal axis, namely by exactly an angle α ₁ = 90 °, because now due to the support material advance in the direction of arrow P ₁ it leads to a rela tive movement of the thread gripper 5 with its suction hollow needle 7 comes in the direction R ₂ . Thus, the needle tip 13 'must point in this direction R ₂ . Subsequently, a second rotary movement of the Ansaughohlnadel 7 takes place about its longitudinal axis, again through an angle α ₂ = 90 ° so that now the needle tip 13 'in the direction of advance R _3, which is opposite to the direction R. ₁ Then the hollow suction needle 7 in turn reaches the opposite side edge 1 ', where a renewed, but this time in opposite direction of rotation of the hollow suction needle 7 takes place according to the angle a ₃ = 90 °. As a result, the needle tip 13 'now points in the direction R _4th This is followed in turn by a second rotation movement by the angle a ₄ = 90 °, so that the needle tip 13 'now points in the direction R ₅ , ie again in the direction of the opposite side edge 1 ''of the carrier material 1 . Thus, the rotational mobility of the hollow suction needle 7 is given successively in each case by 90 ° in one direction of rotation and in turn in each case again by 90 ° in the opposite direction of rotation.

The processes explained above therefore take place periodically during the entire scanning in rows and columns in the course of incorporating the pile threads into the carrier material. Here, each according to the grid matrix explained by the thread gripper 5 successively controlled point of incorporation is a selectable colored pile thread from the available number of different colored pile threads by means of the controllable and relative to the first surface 23 of the carrier material 1 intermittently movable thread generator 14 supplied with its perforated plate 2 , while at the same time these intermittent and coordinated movements of thread transmitter 14 and thread gripper 5 an intermittent feed movement of the carrier material 1 in the direction P ₁ gladly overlaid.

From Fig. 4 is still to be seen that the thread is encoder 14 and, more precisely, the the substrate 1 facing towards the surface of the belonging to the thread feeder 14 perforated plate 2, d is at a predetermined distance from the surface of the substrate 1. This distance d primarily determines the height of the resulting tufts, which are formed by the pile thread pieces 12 . The desired tuft height can now be adjusted by varying this distance d . Accordingly, the lifting movements of the hollow suction needle 7 can be adjusted in the direction of the arrow P ₅ varia bel.

On the other hand, the variability of the tuft height to be achieved is possible not only by changing the position d of the thread transmitter 14 relative to the opposite surface of the carrier material 1 , but also by the manner in which the cut pile thread pieces are laid with the aid of the hollow suction needle 7 through the carrier material 1 , since the respective pile thread pieces can be pulled more or less deep through the carrier material to form a U-nub and accordingly the pile nub height above the carrier material surface can be more or less large. In addition, there is also the possibility of influencing the desired tuft height by means of a thread feed device belonging to the thread feeder 14 .

For the rest, these aforementioned possibilities the knob height influence or setting either each by the aforementioned measures separately or in realize a combined application of these measures.

Figs. 6a and 6b show a modified form of the execution Ansaughohlnadel 7 of the yarn gripper 5.

In this modified embodiment, an improved suction process on the lower surface 18 of the perforated plate 2 of the thread take-up device 14 can be realized. This lower surface 18 is, as shown in FIG. 6a, just forms and is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the hollow suction needle 7th However, since, as already explained, the upper end of the perforated plate 2 facing the hollow hollow needle 7 has a chamfer 13 with a needle tip 13 formed here, the hollow hollow needle 7 with this upper opening during the suction process with respect to a pile thread 4 is not completely sealed apply to the mentioned lower surface 18 of the perforated plate 2 . According to Fig. 6a, therefore, a separate also essentially hollow-cylindrical suction sleeve 19 is arranged within the substantially hollow-cylindrical suction needle 7 , which, however, has a flat, horizontally extending upper opening, preferably a circular opening, so that this is a special suction sleeve 19 can be applied in a correspondingly good sealing manner to the lower surface 18 of the perforated plate 2 , with its cylinder jacket surrounding the lower opening of a hole 3 through which a thread 4 is fed in the area of the contact point. The corresponding, upper position of the suction sleeve 19 is shown in FIG. 6a. In addition, this separate suction sleeve 19 is now arranged within the hollow suction needle 7 in such a way that the suction sleeve 19 can be moved up and down relative to the hollow suction needle 7 . Fig. 6b shows the drawn into the suction hollow needle 7 to position the additional suction sleeve 19, with the sucked herein end of a pile thread. 4

The up and down movements of the hollow suction needle 7 explained with reference to FIG. 3 now overlap the up and down movement of the separate suction sleeve 19 , in such a way that when the carrier material rials 1 is first pierced through the hollow suction needle 7 with its needle tip 13 'The inner suction sleeve 19 also moves upward, extends out of the upper opening of the hollow suction needle 7 and engages in the thread gripping process on the lower surface 18 of the perforated plate 2 , as shown in FIG. 6a, so that subsequently a pile thread end easily enters the interior the suction sleeve 19 and thus can be sucked into the hollow suction needle 7 . In the subsequent downward movement of the hollow suction needle 7 (see point B in FIG. 3), the inner separate suction sleeve 19 is then drawn further downward into the hollow suction needle 7 in the further course of the downward movement, so that it leads to the one in FIG. 6b posed position comes.

This leads to an improved suction process and to a faster pile threading into the interior of the hollow suction needle 7 , so that this practically ensures a pile thread suction process which, for. B. compared to pure vacuum methods He delivers much cheaper results.

From Fig. 7 there is a modified Ausfüh approximate shape of a controllable thread gripper 5 ', in which instead of an up and down movable hollow needle 7 , as explained in the previous embodiments, now a cyclically pivotable, essentially pliers-shaped gripping head 20 is provided . This gripping head 20 is mounted in the region below the second surface 24 of the carrier material 1 on a fixed pivot axis 21 , around which the gripping head 20 can perform limited pivoting movements, as can be seen in detail from FIG. 7, in which, as shown in FIG Fig. 3 shows a cyclic operation of the thread gripper 5 'or its gripping head 20 per pile thread workstation is shown. Such a cyclic operation of the gripping head 20 is in turn characterized by the following clock cycle, it being assumed that the first surface 23 of the carrier material 1 is fed through a first hole in the perforated plate 2, a first pile thread 4 of a certain, selectable color. At point A of the clock cycle, the gripping head 20 pierces the carrier material from its second surface 24 towards its first surface 23 for the first time due to a corresponding pivoting movement about its pivot axis 21 with its tong-shaped tip, the two then moving via a joint 22 open interconnected two jaws of the gripping head 20 and grasp the end of the pile thread 4 supplied. In the subsequent point B of the clock cycle there is an opposite pivoting movement of the gripping head 20 , ie in the direction of the Pfei les P ₁₂ , whereby the pile thread end is pulled down through the carrier material 1 by a predetermined amount. In the subsequent point C , in turn an upward pivoting of the gripping head 20 is effected in accordance with the arrow P ₁₃ , in such a way that its tip with the gripped pile thread ends piercing the carrier material a second time at a somewhat offset location, the knife also then 11 starts to move and the pile thread piece 12 is separated from the pile thread 4 , so that a pile knob is formed from this pile thread piece 12 when the jaws of the gripping head 20 open and the pile thread end released can be released again. Following this, a further cycle cycle corresponding to the points A ', B ' and C 'according to FIG. 7 passed, after a time interval between the points C and A ' again a new positioning of the thread transmitter 14 was carried out, so that the first surface 23 of the substrate 1, a new pile thread 4 'with a different color is fed through a second hole in the perforated plate 2 . Thus, the gripping head 20 grips at point A 'after its piercing movement upward the end of this second pile thread 4 ', then moves at point B 'in the direction of arrow P ₁₄ , pulling the gripped pile thread end down through the carrier material, while then in the following point C 'as a result of an upward pivoting movement of the gripping head 20 this again pierces the carrier material with its tip and then lets go of the gripped end of the pile thread, so that again after the simultaneous cutting process by the knife 11 a second tuft 12 'is formed immediately next to the first tuft 12 .

It is also assumed here that the thread gripper 5 ', in the same way as the z. B. Thread gripper 5 shown in Fig. 4, the relative Verschiebebewe conditions transversely to the longitudinal extent of the carrier material web (see arrow P ₄ ).

From FIGS. 8a and 8b, an embodiment of a complete device for the manufacture of Florware z. B. in the form of an "endless carpet". As can be seen from the side view according to Fig. 8a, this device has a substantially U-shaped bracket 26 with a first, substantially horizontally oriented, upper bracket leg 26 'and a spaced and substantially parallel to the second, lower bracket leg 26 '' on, these two bracket legs 26 'and 26 ''are connected to each other by a rearward portion 26 ''' of the U-shaped bracket 26 . Within this U-shaped bracket 26 is now first in the area of the free end of the first bracket leg 26 'of the thread transmitter 14 with an opposite to the second bracket leg 26 ''pointing orientation, while on the other hand in the area of the free end of the second bracket leg 26 '' Thread gripper 5 is attached with an orientation facing the opposite thread transmitter 14 .

In the area of the free distance between the two stirrup legs 26 'and 26 ''means 28 for transporting the web-like unwindable carrier material rials 1 are arranged relative to the thread gripper 5 and thread transmitter 14 . These means 28 essentially consist first of a supply or carrier roll 35 for the textile carrier material, three subsequently arranged transport rollers 36 , from which the carrier material 1 is passed into the space between the thread gripper 5 and thread threader 14 , whereupon a needle roller 37 connects, which ensures the removal of the carrier material 1 from the supply or carrier roll 35 . Finally, this needle roller 37 is followed by a bearing roller 38 for the finished goods.

The needle roller 37 is, as is not shown in detail in FIG. 8a, controllable by means of a stepping motor device in such a way that an intermittent feed movement of the carrier material 1 is made possible. This controllable needle roller 37 thus ensures the correct term spacing between two successive tufts of rows across the longitudinal extent of the carrier material web 1 , which for example has a width of 4 meters. The lateral distance from each two consecutive tufts in a row of tufts is set by the relative movement of the thread gripper 5 relative to the "continuous web" consisting of the carrier material 1 . In order to realize this relative movement of the thread gripper, the entire U-shaped bracket is mounted transversely to the longitudinal extent of the carrier material web from one side edge to the other and vice versa, ie over its entire width, back and forth movable bar.

It is therefore, as FIGS. 8a and 8b further show, means 27 for generating this reciprocating Ver sliding movement of the complete U-shaped bracket 26 together with thread gripper 5 and thread transmitter 14 along the entire width of the carrier material 1 , these means 27 have essentially a Verschiebemecha mechanism, which consists essentially of a in the region of the lower, second bracket leg 26 '' gela gered threaded rod 39 a and an arrangement of rollers 39 b , the leg below the second bracket 26 '' on the U -shaped bracket 26 are attached and guided on correspondingly associated rails 39 c mounted on the ground. In order to achieve an intermittent feed movement of the entire U-shaped bracket with a back-and-forth shift transversely to the carrier material web, another stepper motor device, not shown in FIGS . 8a and 8b, for cooperation with the threaded rod 39 is shown a provided. This makes it possible to control the relative movement of the U-shaped bracket 26 relative to the carrier material web 1 so that the thread gripper 5 performs the relative movements explained with reference to FIG. 5 for scanning the upper surface of the carrier material 1 , in connection of course with that stepper motor-controlled rotation of the needle roller 37 .

In summary, it can be said that the stepper motor-controlled threaded rod 39 a is responsible for the exact lateral spacing between two consecutive tufts in one row of tufts. Here, of course, instead of just one threaded rod 39 a, two parallel threaded rods can cooperate with the second, ie the lower bracket leg 26 ''.

As FIG. 8b also shows, the thread dispenser 14 also has a pile thread delivery device 29 with associated pile thread supply rolls, so that at least one pile thread 4 of a certain color can be fed through a hole 3 in the perforated plate 2 in the direction of the carrier material web 1 . In addition, in Fig. 8a and 8b, the means 25 for generating an intermittent movement of the thread transmitter 14 relative to the surface of the carrier material 1 are indicated schematically, these means 25 being arranged below the first bracket leg 26 'of the U-shaped bracket 26 . Finally, it follows from Fig. 8b that the U-shaped bracket can be kept relatively narrow in relation to the width of the substrate web.

The arrow P ₄ indicates the directions of the reciprocating displacement movements of the U-shaped bracket 26 .

From the upper part of FIG. 9 it can be seen that the means 25 for generating the intermittent movement of the thread transmitter 14 within the predetermined x / y plane relative to the first surface 23 of the carrier material 1 (cf. FIG. 1) are preferably as are trained as follows:

The thread transmitter 14 with its perforated plate 2 is arranged at a pre-given distance from the first surface of the Trägerma material 1 within a displaceable in the x direction Ren frame 32 , in such a way that the perforated plate 2 itself within this frame 32 in the y direction is displaceable. For this purpose, a cooperating with the thread transmitter 14 Ge threaded rod 33 is provided, which is driven by a stepper motor 30 , while on the other hand, a second threaded rod 34 is provided, which cooperates with the frame 32 and is driven by a further stepper motor 31 . The first threaded rod 33 is thus assigned to the displacement movement of the thread encoder 14 in the y direction, while the second threaded rod 34 is assigned to the displacement movement of the thread transmitter 14 in the x direction.

In addition, as is not shown in detail in FIG. 9, the thread transmitter 14 can also be adjusted practically in the vertical direction relative to the first surface 23 of the carrier material by means of a further stepping motor, so that the desired tuft height on the carrier material is correspondingly one can be put.

Incidentally, the FIG. 9 shows that the entire apparatus for producing textile structures or their sämtli chen function parameters ge by a microcomputer can be controlled, which is hereby insbesonde re to automatically control the movement of the take-up lever 14, the movement and the cyclic operation of the thread gripper 5 or the shifting movement of the U-shaped bracket 26 , the feed movement of the carrier material 1 and finally also the cutting movement of the pile thread cutting device 9 .

In particular, it is clear from Fig. 9 that a real, selectively scannable, colored image or pattern 40 is provided as a template, which follow the video controlled with a scanning device 41 is scanned. This scanner 41 therefore generates corresponding video signals, which are forwarded via a line 47 to an input 42 , from which a program memory 43 is applied via a line 48 (data bus), which is connected upstream of a microprocessor 44 via a line 49 . This microprocessor 44 initially generates the signals for controlling the two stepper motors 30 and 31 in accordance with the received and sorted out video signals, with the digital control signals being given next to a digital / analog converter 45 via a line 50 , from which from which the signals arrive via a line 52 to the first stepper motor 30 , which interacts with the first threaded rod 33 . In parallel to this, the digital signals emitted by the microprocessor are fed via a line 51 to a further digital / analog converter 46 , which in turn controls the second stepper motor 31 via a line 53 , which drives the second threaded rod 34 .

In this way, as already explained above, the intermittent movements of the thread encoder 14 are controlled within the predetermined x / y plane.

In addition, however, further digital control signals are also emitted by the microprocessor 44 , specifically via a first control signal output line 55 , which supplies corresponding control signals for the means 27 for generating the movement of the bracket 26 together with the thread gripper 5 (cf. FIG. 8a) , while at the same time via a second control signal output line 56, the corresponding signals for the feed of the textile carrier material 1 are emitted, the latter preferably driving the needle roller 37 (see FIG. 8a) or its rotary movements .

In addition, the pile thread cutter device 9 is supplied with corresponding control signals via a third control signal output line 57 , so that the cutting movements of the associated pile thread cutter can be influenced accordingly, as has already been explained in detail above.

The control signals coming from the microprocessor 44 via the first control signal output line 55 are used in particular to control the threaded rods of the displacement mechanism for the reciprocating displacement movement of the U-shaped bracket 26 , and in particular in the case of the thread gripper 5 with a suction needle 7 also, both the up and down movements of this hollow suction needle 7 (see FIG. 3), further the limited rotary movements of the hollow suction needle 7 (see FIG. 5) and finally the associated lifting movements of the hollow suction needle ( 7 ) arranged displaceably to control the third suction sleeve 19 (see FIGS . 6a and 6b).

By correspondingly controlling the threaded rods 39 a of the sliding mechanism for the U-shaped bracket 26 , the row-wise spacing of the nubs formed can be adjusted, for example in such a way that one revolution of the threaded rod corresponds to the distance between two successive rows of knobs, or for example in such a way that that three revolutions correspond to a row of 3 mm between two successive rows of knobs.

In addition, there is the possibility to achieve a certain image distortion of the scanned template 40 by corresponding control of the needle roller 37 (see FIG. 8a) via the second control signal output line 56 of the microprocessor 44 , for example in that the serving as template Image is transferred in the form of corresponding tufts on the backing material that it is shown pulled apart from the original template.

Finally, there is the possibility, as indicated in FIG. 9, that a manually operable keyboard 58 is connected upstream of the microcomputer or microprocessor 44 , by means of which the entire device can be controlled manually.

In this case, an operator enters the imaginary image or pattern existing in their imagination manually into the keyboard, so that the corresponding data determined by the imaginary image or pattern or the like is now passed to the program memory 43 via a subsequent line 59 , from which the further control process, as already described further above, is carried out automatically.

In this version with keyboard in the form a terminal, for example, are quasi artistic activities of the individual operator enables.

With reference to Fig. 8a it should also be mentioned that the pile yarn delivery device schematically indicated there 29 can be designed, for example, such that the individual threads of different colors can be stretched from the associated supply rolls starting from one another by means of a corresponding thread tensioning device and then in parallel guidance the respectively assigned holes in the hole plate of the thread transmitter 14 can be passed. Through this thread tensioning device, for example, the threads can alternately be tensioned and relaxed, which ensures that the thread gripper 5 is supplied with a pile thread end of a pile thread with a specific color, ie with the color just desired, when this pile thread ends the associated hole of the perforated plate 2 starting from the thread gripper 5 is to be gripped and then pulled through the carrier material before, as already explained in detail above, the knife 11 of the pile thread cutting device 9 is put into operation.

Finally, a serial arrangement of a predetermined, larger number of thread feeders 14 and a corresponding serial arrangement of a number of thread grippers 5 can be provided, such that each thread feeder is assigned a thread gripper, an embodiment variant of the device according to the invention, which in detail in the drawings is not shown.
