Loom

A loom comprising:

• a driving motor for driving the loom;
• a driving shaft which is connected to a swing shaft for driving a reed to swing via a swing mechanism, connected to the driving motor via a driving-force transmission mechanism, and rotationally driven by the driving motor;
• and
• a housing-shaped side frame that accommodates the driving shaft and the swing shaft in an orientation in which each axial direction of the driving shaft and the swing shaft matches with a width direction,
• wherein the driving-force transmission mechanism includes a driving-force transmission shaft that is provided so as to protrude from a side wall of the side frame while extending parallel to the driving shaft within a space of the side frame and connected to the driving motor, and a gear train that connects the driving-force transmission shaft and the driving shaft,
• wherein the loom includes a housing-shaped driving box provided at a position different from the side frame in the width direction, on a side on which the driving-force transmission shaft protrudes with respect to the side frame, and
• wherein the driving motor is attached to the driving box and is connected to the driving-force transmission shaft or an intermediate shaft connected to the driving-force transmission shaft within a space of the driving box.
