Weaving machine having a border forming means

In a weaving machine having at least one means for forming a fabric border, said means including a housing having an opening, a lever pivotally mounted in said housing and extending through said opening into the path of a weft yarn extending across the weaving machine, said lever having a link-on point at a free end to mount a weft-cutting shears thereon and a drive means for moving said operating element transversely of said opening;

• a cover means integrally disposed on said lever and including a pair of projections defining enlargements of said lever for covering over said opening in each transverse position of said lever.

In a weaving machine having at least one means for forming a fabric border, said means including a housing having an opening, at least one operating element movably mounted in said housing and extending through said opening and a drive means for moving said operating element transversely of said opening;

• a cover means integral with said drive means disposed about said operating element for covering over said opening in each transverse position of said operating element, said cover means including a pair of flange projections defining an enlargement of said drive means and extending over and in facing relation to said opening.

In a weaving machine having at least one means for forming a fabric border, said means including a housing having an opening, at least one operating element movably mounted in said housing and extending through said opening and a drive means for moving said operating element transversely of said opening;

• a cover means having a sleeve disposed about said operating element, a flange on said sleeve for covering over said opening in each transverse position of said operating element, and a spring for biasing said sleeve against said housing.

In a weaving machine having at least one means for forming a fabric border, said means including a housing having an opening, at least one operating element movably mounted in saaid housing and extending through said opening and a drive means for moving said operating element transversely of said opening, said drive means including a first pivotally mounted lever extending through said opening for moving said operating element transversely of said opening, a slide ring rotatably mounted in said lever, said slide ring slidably receiving said operating element therein, and a second pivotally mounted lever connected to said operating element to move said element longitudinally of said opening whereby said operating element is guided in said slide ring during transverse and longitudinal movements of said elements;

• a cover means disposed on said first lever about said operating element for covering over said opening in each transverse position of said operating element.
