Definitions

  • Weaving machine as well as a method for forming a fabric by- means of such a weaving machine .
  • the present invention concerns a weaving machine, in particular what is called a multi-phase weaving machine, as well as a method for forming a fabric by means of such a weaving machine .
  • the invention concerns a multi-phase weaving machine of the type comprising a rotating weaving rotor upon which are provided weaving shed-forming elements for forming several weaving sheds, as well as position selection means which make it possible to place the warp threads of a fabric to be formed on the weaving shed- forming elements provided on the perimeter of the weaving rotor in such a manner that several weaving sheds are formed, and means to insert weft threads in the formed weaving sheds, which are systematically beaten up against the already formed fabric during the weaving by means of weaving combs which are also provided on the weaving rotor.
  • the above-mentioned position selection means which have to make sure that the warp threads are placed in the topmost or bottommost position at the weaving shed-forming elements consist of bars extending over the entire width of the weaving machine and of the fabric in which are provided thread guide openings, such that all warp threads passing through the thread guide openings of one and the same bar are always moved synchronously.
  • This is disadvantageous in that only fabrics with a relatively simple weave can be realised.
  • Another disadvantage consists in that no separate selvedge weave can be formed on the fabric .
  • the present invention aims a weaving machine, in particular a multi-phase weaving machine that is optimised and with which, in preferred applications, one or several of the above-mentioned disadvantages can be excluded.
  • the invention in the first place concerns a weaving machine, in particular a multi-phase weaving machine of the above-mentioned type, characterised in that the above-mentioned position selection means comprise one or several position selection elements that can be individually activated.
  • the positions of the warp threads which are placed on the weaving rotor by means of such position selection elements can be selected individually, in other words separately per warp thread, as a result of which larger combinations of selection possibilities are created.
  • At least all the position selection means required for selecting the position of the warp threads of the actual fabric, i.e. all the warp threads, possibly to the exception of those that are used to form a selvedge and/or those that are used as catch threads, consist of individual position selection elements.
  • the individual position selection elements provided there is a suitable control, rather complicated weaves can be obtained, even with different weave patterns over the width of the fabric, as opposed to the known embodiments with which only simple weaves can be realised.
  • the weaving machine comprises means for forming a selvedge on a fabric, and at least all the position selection means required to select the positions of the warp threads of which this selvedge is formed, are made as individual position selection elements.
  • the weave that is used for forming a selvedge is rather complicated, and by making use of individual position selection elements at least to form such a selvedge, they can be controlled independently as a function of the selvedge weave to be formed.
  • the position selection means consist of a combination of a number of individual position selection elements on the one hand, and of position selection elements working together in conjunction with several warp threads on the other hand.
  • the individual position selection elements are preferably coupled to a control which makes it possible for these individual position selection elements to be also controlled individually, although it is not excluded to have several controls carried out together via one and the same control line.
  • the individual position selection elements preferably consist of thread guides arranged along the weaving rotor that can be moved laterally between at least two positions. Such position selection elements that are arranged next to the weaving rotor can be easily controlled separately, as they do not rotate along with the weaving rotor. According to a practical embodiment, the individual position selection elements each have their own drive elements, provided at the position selection element, integrated in it as if it were. This allows for a simple construction, so that only control lines of a suitable control unit still have to be provided towards the respective drive elements.
  • the invention also concerns a method for forming a fabric, whereby warp threads are guided over a rotating- weaving rotor, these warp threads are placed on weaving shed- forming elements provided on the perimeter of the weaving rotor by means of position selection means in such a manner that several weaving sheds are formed on the weaving rotor, and weft threads are inserted in the respective weaving sheds, characterised in that a position selection is carried out for one or several of the warp threads via an individual position selection element per warp thread concerned, whereby these position selection elements are controlled individually as a function of the weave to be formed .

Hence, the precise construction thereof will not be described in detail. It should be noted, however, that the construction of the position selection elements 17 and of their drive elements 49 can be of any nature whatsoever according to the invention, and that the essence of the invention consists in that the drive can take place individually.
