Undulated shed loom with electromagnetic shuttle drive

An arrangement for the transporting of shuttles filled with filling thread through the sheds of an undulated shed-type loom by fixed permanent magnetic means along the shuttle path of the loom, said magnetic means capable of producing varying magnetic fields with resultant components of force on the shuttles over the entire weaving width of the loom as the shuttles move along the shuttle path, and having means for the beat-up of the filling threads introduced against the fell of the cloth, the beat-up of the filling threads advancing synchronously with the movement of the transportation of the shuttles over the width of the loom:

• comprising a mechanical coupling means acting between the shuttles and the beat-up means in order to maintain the synchronism between the movement of the transport of the shuttles and the beating up movement of the beat-up means.
