Definitions

  • ABSTRACT [30] Foreign Application P i it Dat In a loom, the guide members for the picked weft yarn Apr 10 1973 Switz e 11 a n d 51 1 H73 are supported on a pivotable support and an arm joins the support with the loom and pivots the guide mem- 52 us. 01 139/190- 139/191 out of the warp Shed as the Slay reciprocates 51 lm. c1.
  • the guide means for the weft yarn comprises a plurality of guide members aligned in the weft direction across the warp threads.
  • Each guide member has a weft yarn supporting opening therein.
  • the threads of weft yarn are picked or threaded across the guide members through their openings.
  • the guide members are connected to the slay of the loom.
  • the slay reciprocatingly moves the guide membersthrough the warp shed.
  • the weft yarn threads are eventually lifted out of the exit slits of the guide member openings by the warp yarn threads as these openings move out of the warp shed.
  • Also connected to the slay are the reeds which beat up the weft yarn against the fell or striking edge of the fabric at the forward end of the warp shed.
  • Weft yarn guide means are known wherein the guide members are carried on a support that is secured to the slay, so as to shift and pivot with the slay.
  • the reeds are also secured on the same support.
  • the support for the reeds and for the guide members, called a batten, is pivotally connected to the slay. It can pivot with respect to the slay from a position at which the guide members and reeds are facing in the weaving direction to positions where those elements are oblique to the weaving direction.
  • the exit point of the guide means openings from the warp shed is arranged to be as close as possible to the fabric fell, i.e. the pivot point of the batten on the slay is brought as close as possible along the weaving direction to the fabric fell.
  • loom includes conventional means 102 for spooling, tensioning and moving the warp yarn.
  • Loom 100 includes loom frame 1 on which slay 2 is mounted for reciprocating movement in the direction of arrows 104 by means of guiding and supporting bar 3 to which slay 2 is fixedly connected for movement therewith.
  • Guide opening 105 through loom frame 1 guides the reciprocating movement of guide bar 3.
  • the driving of slay 2 is effected in a conventional manner by means of a motor in loom 100 rotating cam l06,'which shifts cam 108, body 110, guide bar 3 and slay 2 reciprocally in the direction of arrows 104.
  • Atop slay 2 is affixed batten 14. Attached to batten 14 and extending above it are a plurality of weft yarn beating elements or reeds 8. The reeds extend between neighboring warp yarn threads for beating up the weft yarn against the fell or striking edge 11 of the fabric 12.
  • Warp yarn spooling, tensioning and moving means 102 support the warp yarn threads 9, 10 and define a warp shed between upper warp thread 9, lower warp thread 10, reed 8 and fell 11. Warp threads 9, 10 meet at fell 11 where they are bound to fabric 12 by the last beaten weft yarn thread (not shown).
  • Guide means support '16 is pivotally supported around pivot axle 13, which is fixedly located in flange 15.
  • Support'16 includes arm 161 on one side of axle 13 and arm 162 on theother side of axle 13.
  • Arm 161 of support 16 is pivotally connected at pivot connection 22 with one end of swiveling sword arm 25 of the slay.
  • Sword arm 25 is, in turn, pivotally connected at its other end at loom frame pivot 27 to loom frame 1.
  • slay 2 shifts reciprocally in the direction of arrows 104 between its outer position furthest from fell 11, which is the solid line position illustrated in the drawing at which the flat or smallest radius side of cam 106 is pressing on body 110, and its inner position'illustrated in broken lines in the drawing, wherein cam 106 has rotated and the largest radius side of the cam ispressing on body 110.
  • Ledge 29 includes guide channel 114 in which guide members 31 are locked;
  • Each guide member 31 has a weft picking guide ope ning 33 through it. Openings 33 are aligned to permit weft picking through these openings. At its upper rear side facing away from fell 11, each weft guide member has an exit slit 35 from its respective opening 33, through which the picked weft thread exits as the guide members move out of the warp shed.
  • a conventional weft picking element such as a shuttle, or the like, passes the weft thread through aligned guide openings 33.
  • slay 2 moves both support 16 and batten 14 with supported reeds 8 to the left in the weaving direction toward fabric fell 11.
  • swiveling sword arm 25 pivots counterclockwise in the drawing about pivot 27.
  • support 16 pivots clockwise about pivot 13 between its outer and inner positions, i.e. its solid line and broken line positions, respectively.
  • the guide member open-ings 33 follow path 116.
  • the location of loom frame pivot 27 for sword arm 25 was selected in order to achieve an early point of exit 118 for the guide member openings 33 from the warp shed after start of the movement of slay 2 in the weaving direction.
  • the picked weft thread in opening 33 is lifted through exit slits 35 as path 116 crosses lower warp yarn thread in the warp shed.
  • exit slits 35 from openings 33 are arranged and positioned so that the weft yarn thread can slide practically friction free out of openings 33 during the illustrated pivoting movement of guide members 31.
  • slay 2 not only causes the above described pivoting of support 16 and guide members 31, it also moves reeds 8 in the weaving direction up to the beat up position at the fell 11 of the fabric, and causes the reeds to beat up the last picked thread of weft yarn. Because reeds 8 are not connected on support 16, they remain vertical with respect to the horizontal fabric 12 throughout the beating up of the weft yarn.
  • pivot point 27 of sword arm is chosen so that it is beyond the fell in the weaving direction and is at the furthest past fell 11 the same distance as pivot 22 is past fell 11 when slay 2 has shifted to the left to its innermost position shown in broken lines in the drawing.
  • pivot 22 is either at the same position or further in the weaving direction than pivot 27.
  • pivot 22 in its furthest position in the weaving direction is past pivot 27.
  • the distance in the weaving direction between pivot 27 and the line of fell 11 (the beat up position of reed 8) is approximately l/6 the length of the stroke of slay beam 14 i.e. the horizontal distance traveled by axle 13 between its two end positions shown in the drawings) less than is the distance 4 1 in the weaving direction between-pivot 22 and the'line of fell 11 at the furthestposition of pivot 22 in the weave direction.
  • supporting flange l5, and perhaps batten 14 connected to it pivots with respect to loom frame 1.
  • the radius of swiveling of flange 15 should be relatively quite large as compared to the length of swivel arm 25.
  • the radius of swivel of flange 15 is effectively infinite as it reciprocates horizontally.
  • the relationship of the radius of pivot of flange 15 as compared with the length of sword arm 25 ensures that support 16 and guide members 31 thereon pivot out of the warp shed. Such exiting from the shed would not occur were the radius of pivot of flange 15 the same as the length of sword arm 25.
  • Favorable movement of guide means 31 is obtained if the .pivot radius of flange 15 is more than about 5 times the length of sword arm 25. 5
  • the length of swiveling sword arm 25 should be on the same order of magnitude as the length of the stroke of slay 2 in the direction of arrows 104 and is preferably in the range of from the same length as to twice the length of the stroke of the slay.
