Abstract

L'invention concerne un métier à tisser (1) servant à produire un demi-tissu à point de gaze (26), comprenant au moins deux barres d'aiguilles (2, 5) comprenant chacune une succession d'aiguilles (4, 7) juxtaposées le long d'une extension longitudinale (3, 6) de la barre d'aiguilles (2, 5) respective et au moins un dispositif d'insertion de trame (8) servant à insérer au moins un fil de trame (14) dans un compartiment (11) ouvert, les aiguilles (4, 7) comportant chacune au moins un œillet permettant d'y faire passer respectivement au moins un des fils de chaîne (9, 10) et la première barre d'aiguilles (2) étant mobile parallèlement à une extension longitudinale (13) des premières aiguilles (4) agencées sur celle-ci et la deuxième barre d'aiguilles (5) étant mobile le long de son extension longitudinale (6). Le métier à tisser (1) déplace la deuxième barre d'aiguilles (5) avant chaque insertion d'un fil de trame (14) afin de croiser les premiers fils de chaîne (9) avec les deuxièmes fils de chaîne (10). La deuxième barre d'aiguilles (5) également, pour la mise à disposition du compartiment (11) à ouvert, est mobile parallèlement à une extension longitudinale (15) des deuxièmes aiguilles (7) disposées sur celle-ci.
