In order to improve the design of a ribbon needle loom for applications in which the woven material (9) shall have a variable width, it is proposed to arrange the weft needle (10, 16) and also the knitting needle (10b, 16b) serving to knit the weft thread (14, 15) at the side directed away from the weft insertion onto a common, displaceable carrier (10c, 16c). As a further improvement, in order to be able to produce symmetrical woven material (9) with such a ribbon needle loom, a bilateral weft-insertion is proposed, wherein the two weft needles (10, 16) and the two knitting needles (10b, 16b) by means of which the respective weft thread (14, 15) is knitted at the side directed away from the weft insertion are each disposed on a common, displaceable carrier (10c, 16c). Advantageously, the carriers (10c, 16c) do not hinder each other upon displacement, but rather are arranged on top of each other.
A ribbon needle weaving loom comprising a weave point, at which warp threads are interweavable to each other by means of at least one weft thread, a device for feeding the warp threads, a device for feeding the at least one weft thread, further comprising a shed forming device for forming a shed from the warp threads, and comprising at least one weft thread insertion needle for inserting a weft thread loop into the shed, and comprising a reed for beating up the weft thread loop and comprising at least one knitting device serving to knit the at least one weft thread at the side directed away from the weft insertion,
