Method and machine for producing a woven structure

Method for producing a woven structure comprising at least one woven wall, wherein the following steps are carried out:

• a) weaving at least one first portion of said woven structure, said first portion comprising warp threads and weft threads intertwined according to the fundamental weave of each portion of woven wall corresponding to this first portion,
• b) stopping the introduction of the weft threads after the insertion of a weft thread associated with the positioning of at least one elongated element in said woven structure, with this weft thread being intertwined with the warp threads of each portion of woven wall according to the fundamental weave of said portion of wall,
• c) said at least one elongated element having a longitudinal axis, introducing each elongated element between the warp threads defining with the associated said weft thread, the position of insertion of this elongated element into the woven structure, with the longitudinal axis of said elongated element cutting the plane parallel to the warp threads of each portion of wall into which said elongated element is introduced,
• d) maintaining in position each elongated element and introducing at least one new weft thread intertwining the warp threads of said woven structure according to said fundamental weave of each portion of wall or according to at least one new weave, in order to resume the production of said woven structure;
• and with each elongated element not being taken in said woven structure.
