In this mechanism (7) a moving hook comprises a body (20) provided with a nose (202) for bearing against a corresponding knife (14), and a flexible blade (21) secured to the body so as to be capable of moving relative thereto and designed to interact with a retaining lever (16) belonging to the selector device. The selector lever (16) forms a ramp (313) over which a portion (214) of the resilient blade (21) slides when the hook (13) is moved in the vicinity of its top dead-center position. The ramp on which the selector lever slides is shaped in such a manner that the component (FA+FB+FC) parallel to the travel direction (X-X′) of the moving hook (13) of the resultant of the forces (RA, RB, RC) acting on the flexible blade (21) when in contact with the ramp (313) in the vicinity of the top dead-center point of its travel and at the beginning of its downward movement (F14), is directed downwards. |

A guide rod assembly for a Jacquard loom is described which is narrower (10 mm or less), instead of 13 mm of conventional guide rods. This reduction in width is attained reducing the overall height of the magnet system integrated in the guide rod. The magnet system has a support member in the form of an iron core with an elongated or oval cross-section, with an excitation coil wound around the iron core. Pole strips are in contact with both front faces of the iron core. The respective top surfaces of the pole strips are spaced apart by less than 13 mm. |

Hooks for controlling movement of heddle cords in a Jacquard weaving loom are each displaced by a knife, between a position of top dead center, wherein each hook may be immobilized by a selection device, and a position of bottom dead center. Each hook includes a body provided with a catch that engages a corresponding knife and a metal blade that is relatively movable with respect to portions of the body adjacent the catch and that interacts with the selection device to selectively retain the hook in the top dead position thereof. |

The invention relates to a method for producing tissue with the aid of a weaving loom comprising a stop bar, at least one shed and a heddle for carrying out said method. The inventive method is characterized in that warp thread guiding a filling yarn cooperates with a longitudinal heddle connected to the filling yarn and is arranged between said filling yarn and the stop bar of the weaving loom. The warp thread passes through the filling yarn and a longitudinal heddle controlled by a Jacquard device which carries out normal yarn up-and-down movement (down-and-up). Two superposed wefts which are arranged below and under the shed are simultaneously inserted therein. In order to produce a visible section of the filling yarn above a tissue layer (pattern) during the descending (ascending) movement of the filling yarn, the longitudinal heddle is displaced in an ascending (descending) position by the Jacquard device in such a way that the longitudinal heddle provided with a corresponding eye whose lower (top) end is in the center of the shed (central position) prevents the warp thread guided by the filling yarn from moving downward (upward) beyond the shed center, and the lower (top) weft is located outside said shed is inserted. |

A fabric which is formed by a weaving system designed to automatically maintain a printed pattern in alignment with a woven pattern as the fabric is being formed. The printed pattern is printed onto the warp yarns. A controller is used to monitor the position of the printed pattern during the weaving process relative to the position of a woven pattern that is being formed into the fabric. Should the printed pattern and woven pattern fall out of alignment, the controller then alters the longitudinal size of the woven pattern, the printed pattern, or both patterns, in order to realign the patterns. |

A Jacquard mechanism for creating a shed in a loom has a plurality of hooks operative to be connected, optionally via one or more other bodies, to yarns in a loom. The hooks are movable between a first position and a second position. A griffe is provided, the griffe being movable along a path so as to engage the hooks when the hooks are in the first position. The Jacquard mechanism also has a plurality of solenoids, each solenoid having a plunger operative to directly engage a hook. Movement of the plunger causes an associated hook to move to the second position wherein it will not be engaged by the griffe as it moves along the path. |

A Jacquard machine for weaving face-to-face fabrics consisting of a bottom fabric and a top fabric between which pile threads are stretched, incorporating two systems, one for each fabric. For each pile thread, the machine incorporates a selection element with hooks under the action of knives, a cord which is connected to one of the hooks, a lifting device, and a grate which is driven together with one of the knives. The invention enables pile warp threads to be taken into more than three different positions with the aid of a single selection element, thereby reducing the cost and size of the Jacquard machine. |

An apparatus for controlling warp threads on weaving machines, particularly suited for control of warp threads on Jacquard type machines, for example selvedge machines. Control members are arranged to control movement of a warp thread and are adapted to be moved in arcuate paths by a reciprocatable member which reciprocates repeatedly. Selectively operable members cooperate with the control members to allow the control members to reciprocate fully with the reciprocatable members or to be held in a position in which the control members either reciprocate less than the reciprocatable members or do not reciprocate at all. The control members have abutting surfaces in different planes which slide relative to each other and which permit the control members to be positioned with the abutting surfaces facing each other with a combined thickness substantially the same as the overall thickness of one of the control members. |

The invention concerns a thread separator for seaming machines, especially the seaming of dewwatering webs, drying webs, felts and so on. The object underlying the invention consists therein to optimize the reliability of the function of the thread separator by configuring their gripper needles such that the singling out of each foremost thread of a row of warp threads of the web is ensured and each piercing and taking with of the following thread is avoided. It is proposed to construct the gripper needles as separator needles, providing them with special hooks, of which at least two are located with respect to the upper side and the lower side of the web strip related to the row of threads in the same or parallel level opposite to one another, the tips thereof being directed to the opposing thread surface, respectively. The separator needles are provided with concave apertures adpated to the diameter of the thread which is to be separated on grasping it. These apertures are configured thus that piercing of the thread to be separated by the tips and catching the following thread are avoided. |

This invention relates to the shed forming devices in weaving looms wherein each of the retaining hooks is in the form of an element which is pivotable about a horizontal pin with each element provided with a tail portion which is subjected to the reaction of a compression spring so that the head portion thereof lies in a rest position above the toe of a corresponding mobile hook. When the mobile hook causes a retaining hook to pivot so that its nose or head is in an outer position with respect to the toe, an electromagnet of the device may be selectively activated to retain the retaining hook in this outer position to thereby prevent the mobile hook from being restrained by the retaining hook. |
