The loom contains a weaving station, at which warp yarns can be interwoven by at least one weft yarn, a device for supplying the warp yarns, and a device for supplying the at least one weft yarn. A shedding device for forming a shed from the warp yarns, and a weft insertion needle for inserting a weft yarn loop into the shed, are also present. The weft yarn loop is tied off with a knitting needle and beaten with a reed. A take-down device serves to draw off the woven fabric that is produced. In order to produce a profiled woven article, the weaving station is assigned a fabric holder with a shaping aperture whose opening cross section corresponds substantially to the cross section of the profiled woven article that is to be produced with a round or polygonal cross section.
A weaving machine for producing a fabric having a profiled cross section, in particular a rope, having a weaving station, at which warp threads can be woven together by means of at least one weft thread, having a device for supplying the warp threads, having a device for supplying the at least one weft thread, further having a shedding device for forming a shed from the warp threads, furthermore having a weft insertion needle for inserting a weft thread loop into the shed, having a knitting needle for tying off the weft thread loop, having a reed for beating up the weft thread loop, and also having a cloth holder assigned to the weaving station, and having a cloth take-up for taking up the woven cloth, characterized in that, in order to form a profile fabric, the cloth holder has a shaping opening, the opening cross section of which corresponds substantially to the cross section of the profile fabric to be produced, having a round or polygonal cross section.
