Abstract: A spherical cloth weaving machine in which radially stretched warp yarn and circumferentially running weft yarns are woven into a desired spherical shape, the machine being constructed with a mechanism for moving the warp yarns alternately by shuttle chucks which hold required numbers of the warp yarns at their outer peripheral part. A mechanism is provided for hooking the circumferential weft yarn and beating the same toward the center of the warp yarns for compact weaving. A weft yarn rotating mechanism causes the weft yarn to pass through the warp yarns which are being moved by the warp yarn moving mechanism. A mechanism is provided for maintaining the woven cloth in a spherical shape.
