Abstract
A method of driving shuttles through sheds formed by warp yarns of a wave-type loom in which a transport edge of the shuttles is lubricated before entrance into the warp yarns, and a wave-shed loom for carrying out the method of driving the shuttles.
Claims7
A method of driving shuttles through sheds formed by warp yarns of a wave-shed loom by means of reed blades which, in operation, in their entirety carry out an undulating movement in direction advancing over the width of the loom and press against a transport edge of the shuttles, comprising providing the shuttles in the region of the transport edge with a reinforcing runner of hard material and applying to the reinforcing runner of each shuttle a lubricant before its entrance into the warp yarns.
A wave-shed loom arrangement for driving shuttles through sheds formed by warp yarns by means of reed blades which in their entirety carry out an undulating movement, said reed blades extending, at the place of the formation of the shed, between the warp yarns and arranged alongside of each other along an axis of swing above the weaving width of the loom, characterized by shuttles being provided in the region of the transport edge with a reinforcing runner of hard material and by a lubricating means arranged in the region near the group of warp yarns, operatively connected to a lubricant reservoir for providing lubricant to said reinforcing runner of the shuttles during operation.
