Weaving device for the production of thick textile armatures and armatures thus obtained

Weaving device for the production of thick textile armatures constituted by superposed layers of threads secured together by a binding thread traversing said layers, said device comprising a frame (13) provided laterally and at its periphery with regularly spaced hooking pins (17), means (21) for depositing, with the aid of said pins, a thread (22) constituting said layers and means for compacting the layers, characterized in that said pins (17) are constituted by pins comprising a first straight section (17a) extending from the frame (13) and having a slight inclination outwardly of the frame and a second straight section (17b) prolonging the first and having an inclination outwardly of the frame substantially greater than that of said first section, in that said means for depositing the thread are constituted by a plurality of guides (27) each guiding a thread (22), said guides being moved simultaneously and spaced by an interval equal to n times the interval between pins, n being a whole number, and in that said weaving means of the layers are constituted by means (23 to 25) adapted to press the assembly of said layers about their periphery, adjacent the inflection point (20) between the two sections (17a, 17b) of the hooking pins.
