Abstract
A weaving machine having an apparatus for tucking in one or more weft thread ends (2′a) and for forming a cloth edge (10) as well as a shed forming apparatus for forming a shed (14) with a shed apex (14a). The apparatus for tucking in one or more weft thread ends (2′a) includes an air tucker (4) which is arranged outside the cloth width (12) and at least one additional blowing nozzle (6) which is arranged within the cloth width (12), and the jet direction (6a) of which is oriented towards the shed apex (14a) in order to be able to blow the weft thread ends (2′a) into the shed apex.
Claims11
Weaving machine having an apparatus for tucking in one or more weft thread ends (2′a) and for forming a cloth edge (10), said apparatus including a mechanical, pneumatic or pneumo-mechanical selvedge tucker (4, 4.1-4.4), and a shed forming apparatus for forming a weaving shed (14) with a shed apex (14a), characterized in that the apparatus for tucking in one or more weft thread ends includes at least one additional blowing nozzle (6, 6′, 6″, 6.1-6.4) which is arranged within the cloth width (12), in particular within the width of the cloth edge (10), and the jet direction (6a) of which is oriented towards the shed apex (14a) in order to be able to blow the weft thread ends (2′a) into the shed apex (14a).
Apparatus for tucking in one or more weft thread ends (2′a) and for forming a cloth edge (10) in a weaving machine having a shed (14) and a shed apex (14a), said apparatus including a mechanical, pneumatic or pneumo-mechanical selvedge tucker (4, 4.1-4.4), characterized in that the apparatus for tucking in one or more weft thread ends (2′a) includes at least one additional blowing nozzle (6, 6′, 6″, 6.1-6.4) which is designed such that the jet direction (6a) of the additional blowing nozzle (6, 6′, 6″, 6.1-6.4) can be oriented in the direction towards the shed apex (14a) and the additional blowing nozzle (6, 6′, 6″, 6.1-6.4) can be used within the cloth width (12), in particular within the width of the cloth edge (10).
Method for tucking in one or more weft thread ends (2′a) and for forming a cloth edge (10) in a weaving machine (1), with a shed (14) with a shed apex (14a) being formed on the weaving machine (1), and with the weft thread ends (2′a) being tucked into the shed (14) by means of a mechanical, pneumatic or pneumo-mechanical selvedge tucker (4, 4.1-4.4), characterized in that the weft thread ends (2′a) are blown into the shed apex by means of at least one additional blowing nozzle (6, 6′, 6″, 6.1-6.4), which is arranged within the cloth width (12), in particular within the width of the cloth edge (10), and the jet direction (6a) of which is oriented to-wards the shed apex (14a).
