Method and means for textile manufacture

A method according to any one of the claims above, wherein more than one yarn insertion means (90;

• 39;
• 22) are used, each yarn insertion means (90;
• 39;
• 22) being operated in one of at least two directions.

A yarn carrier (90;

• 22) for use in textile production, wherein it is traversed back and forth through layers of warp/axial yarns (25) to place yarn (45) there between, said carrier (90;
• 22) comprising turnable yarn holder (15;
• 23) on which the yarn (45) is arranged in a way to enable either the yarn's (45) removal from the case (1) or the yarn's (45) winding into the case (1), through opening (7), wherein the carrier (90;
• 22) is elongated in the direction of its traversal, and both end portions of the carrier in the said direction of traversal being tapered, characterized in that the tapered end portions are ended in tips (18a, 18b) occurring oppositely displaced to each other relative to the traversal path of the carrier (90;
• 22) to render the carrier (90;
• 22) self-guiding to lay the yarn (45) in two different paths relative to a layer of the warp/axial yarns (25) while the carrier (90;
• 22) traverses back and forth.

A yarn insertion means (90;

• 39;
• 22), such as a yarn carrier or rapier, for use in textile production, wherein it is traversed back and forth through layers of warp/axial yarns (25) to place the yarn (45) there between, characterized in that it further comprises beating-up dent (27;
• 28) extending in the direction towards the fabric-fell (29) when the insertion means is traversed and the dent comprising at least one inclined portion (27b;
• 28b) adjacent to the farthest extended portion (27c;
• 28c).
