Definitions

  • the invention relates to a weaving machine with a weft thread supply arranged outside the shed and a reed for striking at least one weft thread inserted into the shed each against a blade weft line and with two cutting elements assigned to the input side fabric edge and an actuating device coupled to the drive of the loom, via which at least one of the Cutting elements can be adjusted transversely to the weaving plane in accordance with the weft insertion rhythm in each case between a weaving plane located at a distance from an ineffective first weaving plane determined by the blade stop line and the fabric edge and a second operating position located in the region of the weaving plane and suitable for guiding the weft thread to be cut off, and at least one of the cutting elements for cutting the inserted weft from the weft supply is movable relative to the other cutting element.
  • This known arrangement requires - in order for the cutting elements to come into contact with the upper part of the reed when the blade stops and to avoid the subsequent decline of the reed - in each case relatively large adjustment paths of the guide parts carrying the cutting elements and a correspondingly relatively long period of time within the working cycle of the weaving machine, this period of time only being available after the receding of the reed from the adjustment range of the cutting elements.
  • the invention has for its object to provide an improved in this regard weaving machine with a separating device, the cutting elements one within a smaller adjustment range than before and within the sheet stop and the beginning of the decline of the reed also overlapping period of the operating cycle of the weaving machine in Cutting position can be brought up, which allows the cutting of the weft thread at a smaller distance from the fabric edge than before.
  • the one cutting element in the first operating position and in the second operating position is arranged at a lateral distance from the range of movement of the reed, and that the actuating device contains an additional drive connection via which the cutting element in question in each case from the second operating position is adjustable into a third operating position, which is laterally adjacent to the fabric edge and is within the range of movement of the reed, and this third operating position is intended for cutting off the weft thread.
  • the inventive design of the separation device leads to a particularly compact design of the device Components which are to be designed for advantageously small adjustment paths of only a few millimeters, for example 10 mm, between the first and the second or between the second and the third operating position of the cutting elements.
  • the inventive design of the separating device also allows the initiation of the separating operation, that is, the lowering of the adjustable cutting element from the first to the second operating position, already during the blade stop, so that the weft thread to be cut is guided by the adjustable cutting element and that during the initial phase of the receding of the reed Cutting element can be adjusted in the cutting position given by the third operating position.
  • the cutting element that can be guided against the fabric edge from the side according to the invention can be precisely adjusted in a particularly simple manner.
  • a cutting position can be achieved in which the fabric edge lies against the cutting element, so that all weft thread ends protruding from the fabric edge are cut to substantially the same length.
  • a structurally particularly simple and reliable embodiment which is characterized in particular by a simple design of the actuating device connected to the machine drive, can be achieved in a further embodiment of the invention in that the additional drive connection of the actuating device is arranged transversely with a swivel device with a fixed mounting of the weaving machine to the weft insertion direction arranged pivot axis about which the one cutting element between the second operating position and the third operating position can be pivoted back and forth.
  • a fabric with advantageously short weft ends projecting from the fabric edge can be achieved in that the deflection edge is determined by a part of the surface of the cutting element facing away from the shed, which includes an obtuse angle with the guide surface of the relevant cutting element.
  • the part of the cutting element containing the deflection edge can have a trapezoidal cross section, which can be designed according to the required strength of the separating element, the small side of the cross section forming the guide surface for the weft thread determining the length of the weft thread end projecting from the fabric edge and the the large side of the cross section facing away from the weft thread can be selected according to the desired cross section size.
  • the second operating position of the one cutting element is provided between the range of movement of the reed and the range of movement of a guide element coupled to it, which is arranged essentially upright at a corresponding lateral distance from the adjacent edge part of the reed and for Guidance of the weft thread section to be detected by the cutting element is determined.
  • the part of the weft thread to be cut that immediately adjoins the fabric edge can be held in a simple manner essentially in the extension of the blade weft line, so that the adjustable cutting element can already be lowered very close to the blade stop line behind the weft thread to be cut off, which during the blade stop the subsequent decline of the reed and the guide element can be released from it, brought together with the cutting element and then cut off.
