  • Patent number: 5178193
    Abstract: Continuous production of a long bias cloth is accomplished by manufacturing a tubular fabric on a circular loom having a circular frame, reeds arranged on the frame and a shuttle for a weft rotatable along the frame. The fabric is removed from the loom under tension by a removal device comprising a primary pillar core with a plurality of caterpillars adjacent its outer periphery. Removal under tension prevents the formation of any edge portion causing folds and wrinkles in the tubular fabric. The tubular fabric is then spirally cut by a cutting device which has a secondary pillar core with a plurality of feed rolls adjacent its outer periphery. The feed rolls are capable of moving the fabric forward relative to its length, while the cutter is capable of moving circumferentially relative to fabric lengbth. A long bias cloth of high quality can be manufactured continuously, even when the warp and weft fibers used have high-strength and poor or low elongation.
