Abstract
The invention relates to a shuttle for a weaving machine, of which the shuttle is designed to be alternately transferred from one side of a weave to the other while machine-side guiding elements are constantly intervening, with a left-hand connecting element and a right-hand connecting element for connecting the shuttle to the corresponding transfer element and to a filling (weft) bobbin. The filling bobbin is embodied to be rotationally positively drivable, with a drive that is designed for at least two impingements upon the filling bobbin, namely for either accelerating or for decelerating the dispensing of filling (weft) thread. The invention further relates to a weaving process in which such a shuttle is used.
Claims21
A shuttle weaving machine, comprising:
- a shuttle configured to be alternately transferred from one side of a weave to the other while machine-side guiding elements are constantly intervening, which shuttle is transferred within the weaving machine in the direction of the filling thread insertion while passing through a shed below and above warp threads extended in the warp thread direction from a first transfer element on a first machine side to a second transfer element on a second machine side of the weaving machine, wherein both transfer elements are connected to the shuttle during the transfer period;
- a left-hand connecting element and a right-hand connecting element for connecting the shuttle to the corresponding transfer element;
- and
- a filling bobbin supplying a filling thread, wherein the filling bobbin is positively drivable rotationally;
- and
- a drive configured to positively drive the filling bobbin by performing at least one of accelerate or decelerate the dispensing of the filling thread.
A weaving machine shuttle having a shuttle, comprising a filling thread bobbin supplying a filling thread, wherein the filling bobbin is arranged in alignment with the warp thread direction.
A weaving process using a shuttle weaving machine to achieve a weave consisting of warp threads and filling (weft) threads, comprising controlling filling thread tension measured through a filling thread bobbin using a drive of a shuttle controlled according to at least one of process data or fabric characteristics.
