Alternatively, the second strip side (40) of the textile strip can be additionally imprinted during a working operation involving the use the same print head (28) and the same printing station.

Abstract: A plurality of casing modules are mountable to a Jacquard weaving machine such as to enclose same. A first module encloses the weaving machine and comprises a device for supply fresh or conditioned air. A second module encloses the weaving area and harness, and comprises a device for evacuating used air. The arrangement reduces environmental pollution caused by noise, dust or process steam in a weaving shed, considerably improves operator comfort at the weaving machine and significantly decreases accident risk.

Abstract: The patterned scarf is made up of a first and a second layer of fabric (2, 4) which are interwoven at the edges (6, 8).

Abstract: In a mechanical loom, a weft insertion needle (28) feeds a loop of weft thread (30) into a shed (26). On the opposite side of the shed is a knitting needle (32) which ties the loop of weft thread (30). The weft insertion needle (28) and the knitting needle (32) are disposed such that the side (56) of the loop of weft thread (56) to be caught by the knitting needle (32) lies below or, at the highest, at the same level as the head (62) of the knitting needle (32). The head (62) of the knitting needle (32) is associated, in the position in which it catches the thread, with a guide plate (52) with a guide cam (54, 72) such that the side (56) of the loop of weft thread to be caught is passed over the head (62) of the knitting needle and into the hook (64) of the knitting needle when the weft insertion needle (28) is run out of the shed. In order to improve the weaving operation and the woven product, the guide plate (52) is located on the side of the knitting needle (32) facing away from (26).

Abstract: The thread processing device (8) of a textile machine has at least one thread guiding device that moves a thread (4) back and forth between at least two positions (12, 14) by means of a thread guiding member (30, 32, 34). The thread guiding member may be moved in one direction by means of an interlocking drive (28) and in the opposite direction by a frictional engagement drive (36) that acts against the interlocking drive (28). The textile machine is substantially improved by designing the frictional engagement drive (36) as a pneumatic drive with an individual gas chamber (64) that contains a gas volume that may be compressed by the interlocking drive at the working frequency. The gas chamber communicates with a compressed gas source through a non-return valve.

A cutting knife works together with an anvil by means of a wedge-shaped cutter. The cutting knife or the anvil is connected with an ultrasonic transmitter. The cutting knife varies in cross section along the length of the cutter. The cutting knife and/or the anvil are/is adjustable in such a way that, in each case, the cross section of the cutting knife which is suitable for a determined thickness of the textile web is used.

Abstract: A ribbon loom for making a material web at high speed operates through precise control of the weft thread. The ribbon loom comprises a weft insertion needle to insert a loop of weft thread into a shed. The weft thread loop is tied off by a knitting needle on the side of the web away from the insertion needle. The insertion needle is served by a feed device for the weft thread containing a pneumatically operated compensator in the form of a blower and/or a suction device. The insertion needle also has a separate guide eye for the weft thread. This thus provides a particularly effective compensator ensuring precise control of the weft thread when the ribbon loom is running at high speed. The web edges are always tensioned to the set width and maintained at a constant width.
