A loom, especially a loom equipped with a Jacquard mechanism is supported by a vibration isolating device. At least one, preferably two or four such devices are arranged in positions most effective for the vibration damping, with due regard to the center of gravity of the wrap beam and/or of the entire loom. At least one, preferably all vibration dampers are constructed to include a controllable level controlling element in the form of an air spring. The compression in the air spring is controlled in response to the spacing of a fixed point of the loom from the loom supporting surface. Thus, spacing variations between the loom and the Jacquard mechanism that could otherwise be caused due to weight changes of the loom, are eliminated or compensated, whereby the loom-Jacquard spacing is maintained constant.
An apparatus for isolating vibrations of a loom combined with a Jacquard machine, comprising a loom including machine frame means for supporting said loom, a Jacquard machine including a Jacquard frame for supporting said Jacquard machine relative to said loom, at least four vibration damper means for supporting said loom relative to a supporting floor plane in a loom position permitting cooperation of said loom with said Jacquard machine, said vibration dampers comprising spring means in combination with pressure adjustable damping means, said pressure adjustable damping means forming at least one level controllable vibration damper for maintaining a substantially constant spacing (5) between said Jacquard machine (2) and said loom (1) in response to weight changes of said loom (1).
