Abstract: A take-up frame for pile fabric consisting of two suspension frames mounted on opposite ends of a cylindrical shaft, each frame comprising a plurality of angularly spaced arms projecting radially from a central hub. Each of the arms has a narrow slot formed in the side facing away from the other frame. The slot extends lengthwise of the arm and extends only part way through the thickness of the arm. A plurality of slot-like apertures extends through the remaining thickness of the arm from the bottom of the slot to the other side of the arm. The slot-like apertures are spaced apart equidistantly from one another along the length of the slot. Inserted into the slot is a hook band consisting of a plurality of hooks joined together and spaced apart from one another the same distance as the space between the slot-like apertures. Each of the hooks passes through its respective slot-like aperture and projects from the other side of the arm, where it is adapted to hook onto the edge of the pile fabric.

Abstract: A take-up frame for pile fabric comprising two suspension frames disposed at the ends of a shaft in accordance with the width of fabric webs to be taken up and provided with hook bands which extend radially and into which the fabric webs are hooked, wherein the suspension frames are constructed of plastics material or the like and are provided with guideways in which hook bands of metal are disposed.
