Amultiple longitudinal traversing shed weaving apparatus comprises a weaving rotor having beating elements for the laid or inserted weft threads and shed-retaining elements which retain the warp threads, throughout a predetermined path, in their upper shed position and lower shed position. Each intermediate space between neighboring beating or beat-up elements has operatively associated therewith a respective shed-retaining element which determines the upper shed position or lower shed position and, viewed in the direction of travel of the warp threads, there is arranged forwardly of the weaving rotor a control means for the lateral deflection and selective allocation of the warp threads to a shed-retaining element which determines the upper shed position or lower shed position. Between each two respective beat-up elements, following one another in the direction of rotation of the weaving rotor, there is arranged at the weaving rotor a respective guide element for the warp threads, whose line of alignment is located within the intermediate space between beat-up elements neighboring one another in the weft direction. |

A method and apparatus is provided for weaving which utilizes a plurality of moving warp sheds, wherein the sheds move in a direction parallel to the warp threads, and wherein gripper shuttles are employed for carrying weft threads from one side of the machine and through the moving sheds to the other side of the machine, with the gripper shuttles being unconnected to the machine, during their traverse through the moving warp sheds. The weft threads are supplied from a weft supply station which includes a plurality of stationary weft supply spools. The weft threads are supplied to a plurality of weft feeders and guides which operate to successively transfer the weft threads to the gripper shuttles. Once the gripper shuttles have been loaded with weft thread, the gripper shuttles are ready to be fired through the moving warp sheds. Before a gripper shuttle enters a moving warp shed, its lateral speed is synchronized with the lateral speed of the moving warp shed. Once the gripper shuttle enters the moving warp shed, it operates to lay weft thread in the moving warp shed during the entire time that it traverses the moving warp shed. As the gripper shuttle emerges from the moving warp shed, the gripper shuttle is received and stopped at a receiving station. |

A method of weaving and apparatus therefor wherein a plurality of successive sheds are formed and retained to establish waves of sheds which travel longitudinally of the warp threads or "warp waves" as distinguished from the method using "weft waves" which travel transversely of the warp threads. The method and apparatus utilize conventional harness mechanisms or the like to produce the warp sheds but specially adapted weft-thread-inserting devices. The sheds are releasably retained by shed-retaining members which act independently of the shed-producing means. Each shed travels in a substantially straight line or plane from the shed-producing means to a location adjacent the fell of the cloth where the shed-retaining means release the shed. In addition to the shed-retaining means, each traveling shed can be provided with guide means for the weft-thread-inserting means. The shed-retaining members and guide means travel in a closed loop for repetitive operation. Beat-up means are provided which are capable of beating-up the weft thread simultaneously all across the fell of the cloth. The beat-up means may travel in a closed loop with the shed-retaining members and the guide means or non-traveling beat-up means may be provided. |

An arrangement for the holding of a weft thread for a series shed weaving machine has a holder apparatus (11) for the weft thread (4). Two forwarding elements (12, 13) are arranged at both sides of the holder apparatus and are movable relative to the holder apparatus in order to introduce the weft thread. The weft thread (4) extends transversely to the holder apparatus and transversely to the holder apparatus and transversely to the direction of movement of the forwarding elements, into the holder apparatus and furthermore, an apparatus (14) in order to catch and to tension the weft thread. The holder apparatus comprises a thread clamp (15) with a stationary clamping part (17) and a movable clamping part (18) which is under spring action and which forms a clamping gap (27). The weft thread is held in a stretch state by the forwarding elements (12, 13) and the apparatus (14) and is displaceable transversely through the clamping gap. The required clamping force can be set in an advantageous manner through the thread clamp. |

Lengths of weft thread are sequentially inserted in sheds formed by a series shed weaving machine. Weft thread is continuously supplied with a fluid flow. By reversing the flow direction of the fluid flow or deflecting the weft thread, a thread loop is formed outside a weft distribution apparatus of the weaving machine so that the weft thread remains taut inside the weft thread distribution apparatus. A nozzle arrangement in which the fluid flow direction is reversible or a weft thread clamping and deflecting arrangement are used to form the loop and maintain the weft thread taut. |

A method and an apparatus provides for the use of a sensor to detect a state which requires the removal of a weft thread inserted by a weaving rotor of a series shed weaving machine used for the formation of shed to make a cloth. Upon detection of the state, the weaving rotor is stopped before the inserted weft thread to be removed is beaten up against the cloth edge of the cloth. A weft thread removal apparatus is provided for removing the weft thread after the weaving rotor is stopped. |

A series-shed weaving machine which has a machine frame. A warp beam and a weaving rotor are mounted on the frame and a reference plane extends between the axes of the warp beam and the rotor. A warp module is defined by a first subassembly, which includes an arrangement for warp run components of the machine, and a second subassembly, which includes an arrangement for cloth run components of the machine. It is mountable on the frame in first and second orientations in which one of the arrangements is on one side of the reference plane and the other one of the arrangements is on the other side of the reference plane and vice versa, respectively. Depending on whether the arrangement for the warp run is above or below the reference plane, the warp beam rotates in the clockwise or the counterclockwise direction, respectively. |
