Abstract
A shed forming device for a shuttle loom includes a carrier (6) for at least one shuttle (5, 5') and a stationary frame (1) accommodating a reed of wires or dents (7) disposed in a plane extending parallel to the direction of movement of the shuttle carrier (6). A freely rotatable toothed wheel (4) is mounted on the shuttle carrier (6) in front of the corresponding shuttle, at an angle to the reed plane and in engagement with the reed wires or dents (7) to form a shuttle shed. The toothed wheel (4) is mounted on the opposite side of the reed plane with respect to the shuttle carrier to better accommodate the shuttle carrier.
Claims1
In a weaving loom including a shuttle carrier for at least one shuttle and a stationary frame accommodating a reed of wires or dents disposed in a plane extending parallel to the direction of movement of the shuttle carrier for guiding the warp threads to a location where the weft thread is introduced by means of the shuttle, said shuttle carrier located to one side of the reed plane, a freely rotatable toothed wheel being mounted on the shuttle carrier in front of the corresponding shuttle, disposed at an angle to the reed plane and in engagement with the reed wires or dents to form a shuttle shed, the improvement wherein said toothed wheel is mounted on the opposite side of the reed plane with respect to said shuttle carrier.
