Abstract:
A reed for air injection loom, comprising a tapered groove portion formed of a divergent part and a convergent part positioned at the center of a guide groove which guides wefts or at a position on an anti-main nozzle side, wherein the divergent portion is a portion where a flow path cross-section disposed on the anti-main nozzle side of a straight groove portion is diversified downward and the convergent portion is a portion where it is disposed on the anti-main nozzle side of the divergent part and air flow from an auxiliary nozzle is converged by gradually narrowing the lower edge of the groove so as to lead the hair flow to the straight groove portion on a downstream side, the auxiliary nozzle is disposed closely to the divergent part, preferably opposedly to the divergent part, whereby the weft transporting force of the auxiliary nozzle is increased so as to remarkably reduce an energy consumption at the time of weaving of the air injection loom.

In certain embodiments, the present invention relates to synchronizing energy deposition with one or more parameters impacting the functional performance of the object.
Abstract:
The inventive weaving loom contains a weaving reed (8) and a weft thread guide device (32) which is able to pivot between an insertion position and a stop position. A fixed weft thread insertion device (32) is provided for inserting a weft thread (38) into the guide channel (36) and cutting blades (15) are provided for cutting the weft thread after nipping. A device for forming the selvedge is also provided in order to nip an inserted weft thread (38) by means of friction and to ensure that the nipped effect is maintained whilst said thread is conveyed from the insertion position to the stop position. The fixed position of the insertion device and the functional arrangement of the nipping element and scissors in relation to the weaving reed mean that the process is easier to control, to the extent that up to sixteen different weft threads can be inserted.
Abstract:
A method of insertion of the weft thread into the shed of an air-operated jet loom in which to the main stream of air supplied to the beginning of the direct pick channel (10) of the swinging loom reed (1) are added at regular length intervals of the direct pick channel (10) ancillary air streams (22) oriented obliquely in the direction of the weft thread insertion into the open side (11) of the direct pick channel (10) through which they carry the weft thread. The ancillary air streams (22) are oriented toward the axis (4) of swinging of the loom reed (1) and comprise a vertical component (23) of force acting on the weft thread in the direction of the force of gravity, thus stabilising the affect ot the air stream on the weft thread due to the fact that the weft thread is fed exclusively (all way through) near the bottom of the direct pick channel (10). The device for carrying out the method comprises ancillary jets (14) and is so arranged that the plane ((tau)) passing through any of the outlet apertures (15, 151, 152, 152A, 152B) and the axis (4) of swinging of the loom reed (1) passes during the weft thread pick also through the open side (11) of the direct pick channel (10) of the loom reed (1).
Abstract:
A diamond-like carbon (DLC) film is spread over the dents of a reeed as a part of a high speed loom at a part of the dents requiring the highest resistance-to-wear. When using stainless steel as a base material of the dents, DLC film is spread through an intermediate layer comprising, for example, a titanium carbide layer. Reed dents covered with a DLC layer are arranged at side ends of the reed which are likely to wear severly and, at the middle portion of the reed, dents covered with comparatively inexpensive hard film or non-treated dents are arranged so that degrees of wear of reed dents may be uniform throughout the reed for enabling reduction in cost. A reed of this invention is applicable to a variety of fibers such as natural fibers, synthetic ones, and new material ones, whereby durability of a reed is markedly increased at low cost.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a stretching device for stretching a weft thread (6) that has been inserted into a weaving shed (32) in a weaving machine, wherein the stretching device (3) is arrangeable opposite to a U-shaped insertion channel (5) of a reed (1), wherein the stretching device (3) comprises a first blowing nozzle (11) for providing a first air-jet (31) acting on an end region (36) of an inserted weft thread (6) and a second blowing nozzle (15) for providing a second air-jet (35) acting conjointly with the first air-jet (31) on the end region (36) of the inserted weft thread (6), which second blowing nozzle (15) is arranged in insertion direction (M) downstream of the first blowing nozzle (11), and wherein the second air-jet (35) forms a wider angle with the insertion direction (M) than the first air-jet (31). The invention further relates to a weaving machine comprising a stretching device and a method for stretching a weft thread.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a mechanical loom comprising a weaving reed (8) and a weft thread guide device (32) which are interconnected so as to pivot between an insertion position and a stop position. In order to insert the weft, there are provided a stationary weft-insertion device (14) with at least one blower nozzle (22) for inserting a weft thread (38) into the guide duct (36), as well as a thread clamp (16) and scissors (15). The thread clamp (16) is coupled with the weaving reed in order to clamp an inserted weft thread (38) and convey it synchronously with the guide duct (36) from the insertion position to the stop position. The scissors (15) are arranged downstream of the thread clamp (16) in the stop direction in order to cut off the weft thread immediately after it has been clamped. Since the insertion device is stationary and the thread clamp and scissors are operatively associated with the weaving reed, control of the loom is simplified such that up to sixteen different weft threads can be inserted.
Abstract:
A power weaving loom has a shed (6) made of warp threads (6) in which a reed (14) is guided back and forth. Weft thread insertion means (26), for example shaped as an insertion band (28) guided on guiding elements (24) linked to a reed lever (23) of the reed (14), are used to insert the weft thread. The guiding elements (24) are coplanar to the mid-plane of a corresponding reed tooth (18a), said mid-plane extending in the direction of motion of a reed tooth (18a). A deflecting member (36) that extends on both sides of the mid-plane in the direction of the weft thread for reliably guiding a warp thread past the guiding element (24) and avoiding interlocking is arranged between the reed tooth (36) and the guiding element (24). Parallel yarns may thus be used in such a power weaving loom even in a high performance range.
Abstract:
Sheet-shaped dents which are made of stainless steel and are adapted for a reed in a high-speed weaving machine. Dents (1A) can be considerably enhanced in durability by having only a surface of that ridge edge portion (3b) of a base material (3), which is in sliding contact with a thread, covered with a hard carbon film (2), and the dents (1A) can be greatly improved in productivity as compared with prior dents which are covered with a hard carbon film. The dents can be efficiently manufactured by laminating a multiplicity of the base materials (3) for sheet-shaped dents, which base materials are formed from stainless steel to have the same shape, with planar surface portions (3a) of the base materials (3) in close contact with one another, placing the base materials in a film forming atmosphere while ridge edge portions not in sliding contact with a thread are caused to abut against a film forming tool and are held in alignment, and covering surfaces of the edge portions (3b) of the respective base material (3), which are in sliding contact with a thread exposed to the film forming atmosphere, with a hard carbon film.
