Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for catching and stretching weft threads, to a weaving machine provided with such a device, and to a method for catching and stretching weft threads.
- a shed also referred to as "inserted weft thread” in the following
- catching threads For catching a leading end of a weft thread inserted into a shed (also referred to as "inserted weft thread” in the following) and for holding the inserted weft thread with a desired tension, the use of so-called "catching threads” is known from the prior art.
- the catching threads run in parallel to the warp threads next to the shed and form a separate shed which may be closed earlier than the normal shed via associated shed-forming means, so as to bind the inserted weft thread at an appropriate moment and with an appropriate tension.
- a device for catching and stretching a weft thread inserted into a shed of a weaving machine comprising a weft thread stretching device arranged stationary on the weaving machine in an extension of an insertion path of the weft thread for catching the leading end part of the inserted weft thread and stretching the caught weft thread, a weft thread holding device arranged stationary on the weaving machine in a region of a beat-up line for holding the leading end part of at least one beaten-up weft thread, and a moveable guiding device arranged on a sley for movement with the sley for guiding the caught weft thread towards the weft thread holding device, wherein a first suction nozzle is provided as the weft thread holding device, which first suction nozzle has an opening directed towards a fabric edge of the fabric and is adapted to generate a suction stream in parallel to the beat-up line, so that after the weft thread has been beaten-up a free
- the opening of the first suction nozzle arranged in the region of the beat-up line is directed towards the fabric edge of the fabric.
- the opening is directed at least essentially towards a guiding channel of the reed, if the reed is in its most forward position towards the beat-up line.
- the weft threads held by the first suction nozzle extend in an at least essentially straight line in the extension of the beat-up line. This allows for a good stretching and, if required, an advantageous hand-over of the weft threads to a tucking-in device, a cutting device and/or catching threads arranged at the arrival side of the shed.
- the first suction nozzle can be mounted in an adjustable position to the weaving machine in the region of the beat-up line.
- the first suction nozzle is adjustable in its height position perpendicular to a woven fabric as well as in its position towards and away from a beat-up line.
- the position is adjustable by an operator of the weaving machine for example depending on a weft thread thickness and/or a type of weave binding and/or an arrangement of a tucking-in device.
- the guiding device for moving the weft threads towards the first suction nozzle is a blowing device. In other embodiments, a reed functions as the guiding device.
- the guiding device comprises a hook-shaped guiding element, for example a hook-shaped guiding element provided with a recess having inwardly converging sidewalls for receiving the weft thread.
- the guiding device having a hook-shaped guiding element further comprises an adjustable stopping element for adjusting the depth of the recess as described in WO 2013/1 17564 A2, the content of which is hereby incorporated by reference.
- a method for catching and stretching a weft thread inserted into a shed of a weaving machine using a device with a weft thread stretching device arranged stationary on the weaving machine in an extension of an insertion path of the weft thread for catching the leading end part of the inserted weft thread and stretching the caught weft thread, a weft thread holding device arranged stationary on the weaving machine in a region of the beat-up line for holding the leading end part of at least one beaten-up weft thread, and a moveable guiding device arranged on a sley for movement with the sley for guiding the caught weft thread towards the weft thread holding device, wherein a first suction nozzle is provided as the weft thread holding device, which first suction nozzle has an opening directed towards a fabric edge of the fabric, wherein the first suction nozzle generates a suction stream in parallel to the beat-up line, so that a free end of a weft
- the second suction nozzle 12 is activated upon insertion of a weft thread 3 into the shed for catching the inserted weft thread and is deactivated upon or shortly after the caught weft thread 3 arrives at the effective range of the first suction nozzle 1 1 .
- the first suction nozzle 1 1 is activated upon or shortly before the caught weft thread is moved towards the first suction nozzle 1 1 by means of the reed 7 and/or the weft detector 8 and/or any other guiding means.
- the first suction nozzle 1 1 can be deactivated after the leading end has been cut off by means of the cutting device 22 and the cut-off ends have been transported towards a waste container.
