Abstract
A loom comprising a resiliently arranged tension or whip roll movably mounted transversely with respect to its lengthwise axis. The tension roll serves to generate the tension of the warp threads or ends of a preferably two-part warp beam. The bearing or support means of the tension roll are arranged to be individually movable independently of one another such that the tension roll can be moved into an inclined position.
Claims4
A loom comprising:
- a one part tension roll having a lengthwise axis for producing the tension of warp threads payed-off a warp beam;
- a two-part warp beam for delivering the warp threads to the tension roll;
- means for mounting said tension roll to be movable transversely with respect to its lengthwise axis;
- said mounting means comprising a plurality of bearing means, each end of the tension roll being movable individually and independently of one another so as to enable the tension roll to move into an inclined position;
- a respective drive for each of both warp beams;
- and
- means for individually controlling the drive of each warp beam as a function of each end position of the tension roll.
