Abstract
A double-lift open-shed Jacquard loom comprises hooks controlled by control needles, the leg of each hook having three noses thereon. The loom also has two sets of blades which are movable towards and away from each other by lift means, a stationary set of blades, and at least one hook rake. Bracing means are provided to act on the legs of the ones of said hooks which are disposed on the arresting blades in the open-shed position, to urge said hooks towards the respective lifting blade.
