Intermediate receiving mechanism for warp beam in loom

An intermediate receiving mechanism for warp beams in a loom configured to rotatably support shaft end portions of a pair of warp beams between adjacent flanges of the pair of warp beams arranged side by side in a weaving width direction, the intermediate receiving mechanism comprising:

• a base member configured to be able to support both the shaft end portions;
• a single lever member provided to be rotatable with respect to the base member, and configured to clamp both the shaft end portions in a state of being supported on the base member, in cooperation with the base member;
• and
• two beam support sets arranged side by side adjacent to each other in the weaving width direction, corresponding to the respective warp beams,
• wherein each of the beam support sets includes two or more supporting rollers provided for the base member and configured to support the shaft end portion, and a contact part including one or more contact rollers provided for the lever member and configured to be brought into contact with the shaft end portion,
• wherein the lever member includes a swing member provided to be able to swing about a swing shaft provided in parallel to the weaving width direction, and configured to support both the contact parts, and
• wherein support positions on the swing member for both the contact parts are positions where a line segment connecting the support position for one contact part and a shaft center of the swing shaft forms an angle with respect to a line segment connecting the support position for the other contact part and the shaft center.
