Abstract
A ribbon fabric, a method for manufacturing the same and a ribbon loom for carrying out the aforesaid method, wherein the ribbon fabric or tape has weft thread loops inserted from one side of the warp shed therethrough. At the other side of the warp shed a first auxiliary thread is drawn through the weft thread loops, and a second auxiliary thread, located outside of the weft thread loops is knitted with each n-th stitch of the first auxiliary thread for securing the latter.
Claims21
A ribbon fabric having weft thread loops inserted from one side of a warp thread shed, a first auxiliary thread drawn through the weft thread loops and forming stitches, and a second auxiliary thread located externally of the weft thread loops knitted with each n-th stitch of the first auxiliary thread in order to secure the latter.
A method of manufacturing a ribbon fabric comprising the steps of:
- providing warp threads;
- forming warp sheds from the warp threads;
- inserting weft thread loops into a formed warp shed;
- drawing only a first auxiliary thread through the weft thread loops, and for each n-th stitch knitting together the first auxiliary thread with a second auxiliary thread which is located outside of the warp thread loops.
A ribbon fabric having weft thread inserted as double picks from one side of the warp and extending thereacross with their looped end portions extending along the opposite side of the warp, a first auxiliary thread drawn through the weft end loops and forming stitches, and a second auxiliary thread located externally of the weft end loops knitted with at least certain of the stitches of the first auxiliary thread in order to secure the latter.
