Abstract: A weaving rotor carries lamellae combs, the lamellae of which are provided with shed-retaining elements. Shedding rods which are stroke-wise displaceable in the warp direction are positioned forwardly of the weaving rotor to allocate each warp thread to a shed-retaining element determining either an upper shed or a lower shed. The shedding rods are formed by first racks, the tooth spaces or gaps of which serve as guide means for the warp threads. Thus, there is ensured as precisely as possible pitch or division of the guide means for the warp threads as well as an accurate reproducibility for the shedding rods. The lamellae are positioned on the weaving rotor by second racks having the desired pitch. The first and second racks correspond to each other and are identically designed. Consequently, there results the highest conformity between the lamellae pitch and the pitch of the warp threads, and thus, an optimally ordered run or course of the warp threads from the shedding rods to the weaving rotor.
