| 6367511 | Terry loom with interpenetrating ground warp and pile warp A ground warp thread sheet and a pile warp thread sheet are supplied to a shed forming device. Two stop motions on separate planes respectively monitor the pile warp and the ground warp. The ground warp and the pile warp are deflected over a deflecting ro... | 04/09/2002 |
| 6230758 | Method for controlling a motion characteristic of a sley shaft for driving a reed The sley shaft of a loom, particularly a loom for weaving terry cloth or pile fabric, is rotated so as to provide more time for a gentle beat-up of the weft along the fabric beat-up line. For this purpose, the acceleration of the sley shaft and thus of th... | 05/15/2001 |
| 6112773 | Method and loom for weaving first and/or second pile lengths while weaving terry fabric Two different pile heights (a, b) can be selectively formed during the weaving of terry fabric on a loom by shifting the fabric with its actual beat-up line (10a) back and forth relative to a base beat-up line (3). First and second fabric shifting oscilla... | 09/05/2000 |
| 6065503 | Apparatus for changing the beat-up position of a reed An apparatus for changing the beat-up positions of a reed in a weaving machine. The apparatus includes a drive, a drive member, a transmission and a kinematic chain. The kinematic chain is connected to the transmission and the pivot axle for the reed, wit... | 05/23/2000 |
| 6039088 | Reed assembly with angled dents A slay and reed assembly for use on textile machines includes a reed having dents disposed in an upper and lower channel. A reciprocating motion slay with clamping device is used to carry the reeds and moves the reeds towards and away from a fabric fell l... | 03/21/2000 |
| 5837664 | Aqueous shower rinsing composition and a method for keeping showers clean The invention relates to a composition for an aqueous rinsing solution for removing deposits from surfaces of showers and the like, and the use of such a composition for rinsing showers clean and for providing a pleasant sheen to shower surfaces without s... | 11/17/1998 |
| 5722465 | Mechanism for adjusting the terry pile height A terry cloth weaving loom operating with a fabric displacement drive that controls the terry formation fabric motion, is equipped with a terry pile height adjusting mechanism operatively integrated in the fabric displacement drive between a crank arm (26... | 03/03/1998 |
| 5590692 | Method for avoiding fabric faults during transitional loom operating conditions Faults in fabrics such as smooth woven fabrics or pile fabrics caused by transition operational conditions are avoided, especially on air nozzle weaving looms. Such transition operational conditions may occur when rated operating parameters must be change... | 01/07/1997 |
| 5518037 | Cloth fell displacement in a terry loom A pile forming apparatus allowing use of a driving motor of small capacity for effectuating terry motion while assuring high quality for manufactured pile fabric includes a ball screw constituting an output shaft of the driving motor with which driven nut... | 05/21/1996 |
| 5499662 | Method for preventing the formation of fabric blemishes by controlling beat-up in a loom A method for weaving blemish-free smooth and terry fabric on a loom following a stoppage of the loom after it has woven a fabric fell which terminates in a last weft thread. The loom has a driven reed which reciprocates during normal weaving towards and a... | 03/19/1996 |
| 5439034 | Mechanism for transmitting the selection command for the reed beating position in a terry loom A mechanism for transmitting the selection command for a reed beating position in a terry loom, the terry loom including a connecting rod, one end of which is hinged to the common articulated joint of two pivoted arms by which the support body for the too... | 08/08/1995 |
| 5423354 | Drive system for a loom slay shaft for producing terry or smooth fabric A drive system for a weaving loom includes at least one four-pivot three-link drive or preferably two such drives for transmitting drive power from a main loom shaft through a cam drive to a slay shaft coupled to the cam drive through the four-pivot three... | 06/13/1995 |
| 5058628 | Terry loom having programmable pile forming elements To operate the terry loom, one or more pile-forming elements is actuated by separate drives on an individual pick basis and in a freely triggerable manner and at a loom speed. Any desired terry cadence can be produced in any desired sequence without stopp... | 10/22/1991 |
| 4569373 | Terrycloth weaving machine The weaving machine includes an electronic control device which can receive a signal for a reverse-motion of the pile warp let-off drive motor from the card dobby via a sensor when borders (plain woven regions) of the fabric are to be produced within the ... | 02/11/1986 |
| 4566498 | Reed control mechanism for terry loom A reed control mechanism for a terry type loom is disclosed. The reed control mechanism enables the reed to perform a three pick cycle comprising partial beat up of the first two picks of weft followed by full beat up of the third pick of weft. Reciprocat... | 01/28/1986 |
| 4294290 | Process and loom for the production of pile fabrics The production of pile fabrics in which the stroke of the batten of a loom during operation is periodically decreased from the value corresponding to a full stroke of the batten by a value for partial strokes which is referred to as the pre-beating distan... | 10/13/1981 |
