Abstract: A thread feeding device for the torchon lace machine includes a spindle provided to stand at a runner moving along an orbit due to rotation of rotor metals, and a standing member including a thread feeding hole to pull out a carbon thread wound around a bobbin rotatably inserted into the spindle and a bobbin stopper. The carbon thread is set to form a U-shape among rollers each with thread guide which are respectively provided at a base end side and a tip end side of a head member of the standing member and a roller with thread guide which is provided at a slide body provided to be vertically slidable at a lower side than the head member to enable to feed to the knitting part.

Abstract: A feeder for supplying a warp to a weaving machine is described. The feeder includes a drum non-rotatably supported by a drum shaft, a driving section connected to the drum shaft, a flyer wrapping warp around the drum, the flyer being supported by and rotatable with the drum shaft, a warp sensor pivotably supported in one of a plurality of slits formed in the drum, at least one supporting member eccentrically movable and slantable with respect to the drum shaft, and at least one carrier born by the at least one supporting member and guided by the plurality of slits respectively to be movable in both an axial direction and in a radial direction. The flyer transport the warp wound about the drum in the axial direction with the supporting member rotatably mounted on the drum shaft. A dial having a cam-like slant surface is attached to the drum shaft so as to enable a inclination angle adjustment of the slant surface. By the adjustment of the dial, the supporting member is inclined.

Abstract: A bearing mechanism for supporting a spindle or a shaft to be driven for rotation at super-high speeds, comprising at least one journal bearing assembly engaging a journal portion of the spindle or the shaft, and a non-contact magnetic thrust bearing unit which is magnetically linked with an axial end portion of the spindle or the shaft for thereby carrying the axial load of the spindle or the shaft by the magnetic interaction between the bearing unit and the end portion of the spindle or the shaft.
