Definitions

  • Another object of the invention is to provide an arrangement in which the selected thread is released to permit rever-' sal of the gripper shuttle with a shuttle box, an operation which is necessary in certain gripper shuttle looms known under the trade name Novostav.” Release of the selected threads for free movement is also necessary in other types of gripper looms before the thread is inserted into the gripper shuttle.
  • the weft thread is tensioned during the beat up by the reed when the weft inserting shuttle is picked after outward movement of the batten. It is therefore an object of the invention that the selected weft thread, after insertion into the gripper shuttle, is released so that formation of loops is prevented.
  • Another object of the invention is to feed the selected weft thread in unbraked condition, and preferably alonga substantiallystraight path to the picked gripper shuttle. ltis known that" breakages take place most frequently when the weft thread is braked, and that the brakedweftthread consumes partof the energy of the picked weft inserting member, which is usually of small weight.
  • Another object of the invention is to pull the thread back at a certain tension so that the part of the weft thread which followed the gr the shed and tensioned.
  • Another object of the invention is to permit the nonselected threads to move with the fabric which is being woven while being taken off the thread supply bobbins.
  • a particuiar colored thread is not used again as a weft for a long time after its first insertion into a warp shed, so that such a thread must be taken off its supply bobbin as the workpiece is being woven and wound up.
  • Another object of the invention is to use the tension of the selected thread for controlling a weft stop motion in-the case of breakage, while the nonselected threadshave no influence .on the weft stop motion.
  • Another object of the invention isto check the correct tension of the inserted weft thread by a welt stop motion which stops the loom before the beat up operation of the reed in the event that due to a breakage no weft thread is located in the warp shed, and also in the event of insuflicient tension of the welt thread.
  • the stopping of the loom before beat up by the reed has the advantage that the operator need not turn back the pattern control means, and can continue the weaving operation upon manual insertion of a weft thread into the warp shed where the thread was not supplied.
  • pper shuttle intothe warp shed is pulled out from bins without resistance by the gradually woven fabric, or by the weft inserting gripper shuttle.
  • the threads are clamped between the gripper shuttle and the supply bobbins when the weft thread has to be pulled back after a weft insertion. Only the selected thread is tensioned, and also checked by a weft stop motion during the insertion into the gripper shuttle, as well as after the pick, so that breakage of a weft thread causes stopping of the loom at the moment at which the respective feeding element is active.
  • An apparatus comprises a unit for each different, or differently colored thread.
  • Each unit includes a thread guiding element having a first guide eye and being movable between a normal position and inserting and guiding positions for inserting a weft thread into a gripper shuttle and for guiding the thread to the same, tensioning means having a second guide eye for the weft thread and being movable between tensioning and an untensioning position, brake means having a third guide eye for the thread and being movable between a normal position, for lightly breaking the thread, and a clamping position for fixedly clamping the thread, and thread supply means for supplying the thread to the brake means.
  • the thread extends in the normal position of the feeding element through the first, second, and third guide eyes from a weft thread inserted by the gripper shuttle to the supply means.
  • Operating means are provided for moving the feeding element of the selected unit between the normal, inserting, and guiding positions, the tensioning means between the tensioning and untensioning positions, and the brake means between the normal and clamping positions in synchronism with the operations of the gripper shuttle.
  • the arrangement is such that the tensioned clamped thread is inserted by the guiding element into the gripper shuttle, the untensioned and unclamped thread is fed to the gripper shuttle during weft insertion, and the thread is tensioned and clamped at the end of the weft insertion.
