Method of attaching flat, in particular plate-like, components to a textile web

Abstract

The invention relates to a method of arranging flat plate-like components at a prepared arrangement location within a textile web of a textile machine. The flat plate-like components are connected by a flexible carrier at a fixed distance from each other so as to form a linear arrangement. The method comprises the steps of providing the linear arrangement of flat plate-like components to a thread tying location on a textile machine along a longitudinal axis, working the flexible carrier into the textile web so that part of the carrier emerges from the prepared arrangement location of the textile web in a free-floating manner and the plate is positioned at a distance upstream of the thread tying location on the textile machine. The floating carrier is then pulled so that the plate passes through the thread tying location of the textile machine and is placed at the prepared arrangement location within the textile web. The plate is then secured in the prepared arrangement location in the textile web by tying the prepared arrangement location.
