Multiple longitudinal traversing shed weaving apparatus

A multiple longitudinal traversing shed weaving loom comprising:

• a rotatable weaving rotor over which pass warp threads moving in a predetermined direction of travel;
• beat-up elements provided for the weaving rotor for bearing weft threads inserted through the warp threads;
• shed-retaining elements for holding the warp threads over a predetermined path in selective upper and lower shed positions;
• said beat-up elements being spaced from one another to form between each two neighboring beat-up elements an intermediate space;
• a respective one of said shed-retaining elements for determining the upper shed position or lower shed position being operatively associated with each intermediate space between neighboring beat-up elements;
• control means arranged forwardly of the weaving rotor with respect to the direction of travel of the warp threads;
• said control means serving for the lateral deflection and random correlation of each warp thread to a shed-retaining element which determines the upper shed position or lower shed position;
• a respective guide element for the warp threads arranged at the weaving rotor between each two beat-up elements which follow one another in the direction of rotation of said weaving rotor;
• and
• the guide elements being oriented such that the line of alignment thereof is located within the intermediate space between beat-up elements neighboring one another in the direction of weft insertion.
