Abstract
In a weaving machine an arrangement for producing selvages in woven fabrics. The arrangement includes a frame which is mounted between the healds and the woven fabric. A plurality of guide needles are pivotally mounted in the frame and are controlled by electromagnets mounted on the frame. The guide needles have eyes through which selvage threads fed from spools are passed. Each guide needle is adapted to independently guide a selvage thread during the weaving process.
Claims3
In a weaving machine having a plurality of healds operatively mounted therein, an arrangement for producing selvages for woven fabrics, comprising in combination,
- a frame having an upper and a lower transverse beam,
- means for feeding a plurality of selvage threads,
- a plurality of guide needles arranged in pairs,
- a pivot shaft mounted in the frame for each pair of guide needles, the needles of each pair being of different lengths and being respectively pivotally mounted via their corresponding pivot shaft on said frame, at respective upper and lower locations thereon,
- a lever projecting from each guide needle,
- each needle having an eye through which a selvage thread is adapted to pass, so that a selvage thread is received from said selvage thread feeding means and is independently guided by each guide needle,
- the needles of each pair being mounted in staggered fashion on said transverse beams so that the selvage threads positively guided and swung out by said needles do not interfere with each other during the weaving process,
- a plurality of individual electromagnetic means respectively mounted on said upper and lower transverse beams, and means operatively connecting each electromagnetic means to the lever of its respective needle for controlling the pivotal movement thereof.

- a frame having an upper and a lower transverse beam,
- means for feeding a plurality of selvage threads,
- a plurality of guide needles arranged in pairs,
- a pivot shaft mounted in the frame for each pair of guide needles, the needles of each pair being of different lengths and being respectively pivotally mounted via their corresponding pivot shaft on said frame at respective upper and lower locations thereon,
- a lever projecting at a substantial angle from each guide needle,
- each needle having an eye through which a selvage thread is adapted to pass, so that a selvage thread is received from said selvage thread feeding means and is independently guided by each guide needle,
- the needles of each pair being mounted in staggered fashion on said transverse beams so that the selvage threads are positively guided and swing out by said needles do not interfere with each other during the weaving process,
- a plurality of individual electromagnetic means respectively mounted on said upper and lower transverse beams, and means operatively connecting each electromagnetic means to the levers of its respective guide needle for controlling the pivotal movement thereof,
- said guide needles extending substantially transversely with respect to said upper and lower transverse beams and being disposed at one side of said frame, said electromagnetic means also extending substantially transversely relative to said upper and lower transverse beam and being substantially aligned with said guide needles.
