Abstract
The present invention relates, on the one hand, to a method for weaving pile fabrics with at least two different pile heights (a, b) in the same pile row, wherein the fabrics comprise weft threads, ground warp threads and pile-warp threads (1, 2), wherein these pile-warp threads are interlaced in the fabric, according to a pattern, in a figure-forming manner or are inwoven in a non-figure-forming manner, and which, when they are figure-forming, form pile with a well-defined pile height. On the other hand, the present invention relates to a device for manufacturing such fabrics.

Method for weaving pile fabrics with at least two different pile heights (a, b) in the same pile row, wherein the fabrics comprise weft threads, ground warp threads and pile-warp threads, wherein these pile-warp threads are interlaced in the fabric, according to a pattern, in a figure-forming manner or are inwoven in a non-figure-forming manner, and which, when they are figure-forming, form pile with a well-defined pile height (a, b), wherein a first set of pile-warp threads (1) is inserted in such a way that these move virtually without strain, or under light strain, onward into the just formed fabric (3), and in that at least a second set of pile-warp threads (2) is inserted in such a way that, in relation to the first set of pile-warp threads (1), they move with a higher strain onward into the just formed fabric (3).
Weaving machine for the weaving of pile fabrics comprising at least two different pile heights (a, b) in the same pile row, wherein the said fabrics comprise weft threads, ground warp threads and pile-warp threads (1, 2), and wherein these pile-warp threads (1, 2) are interlaced in the fabric, according to a pattern, in a figure-forming manner or are inwoven in a non-figure-forming manner, and which, when they are figure-forming, form pile with a well-defined pile height (a, b), wherein the weaving machine comprises first means designed to introduce a first set of pile-warp threads in such a way that they will move, virtually without strain or under slight strain, onward into the fabric to be formed, and in that the weaving machine further comprises at least second means (4), designed to introduce at least a second set of pile-warp threads (2) in such a way that, in relation to the first set of pile-warp threads (1), they will move with a higher strain onward into the fabric to be formed.
