摘要:
A tuft carrier loading apparatus for loading individual tufts into tuft-retention sites spaced along an elongate tuft carrier which is guided for longitudinal movement along a path of travel having a plurality of individually selectively operable tuft forming devices. Each tuft forming device is operable to feed an individual tuft to a tuft-retention site on the carrier. The carrier moves along said path of travel intermittently through a series of successive positions where predefined tuft retention sites are moved temporarily into registry with each tuft forming devices. By controlling selection of the tuft forming devices, tufts are fed to selected sites while the carrier is located at each successive position.
摘要:
A method of increasing the length of tuft to be woven into an Axminster carpet on a gripper loom. After the yarns have been drawn-off the yarn carriers by relative movement between the yarn carriers and the grippers, means, such as a finger mounted on the knife box, is caused to traverse the loom ahead of the knife and successively engage the drawn-off yarns thereby increasing the length of the tufts.
摘要:
In the weaving of pile fabrics on an Axminster loom equipped with an endless conveyor means on which spool carrying tube frames are mounted with pile yarns extending through a row of tubes on each frame, the tube frames cooperate with the loom reed and weft inserting means in an improved manner according to this invention to position each successive row of tubes between the warps incident to the forming of tufts from the respective pile yarns without displacing the conveyor means from its normal path of travel or removing the successive tube frames from the conveyor means, and without displacing the tubes relative to the tube frames.
