Abstract: A profile rod (15) preferably consisting of an extruded aluminum profile has lateral walls (18, 19) that have two snap-in zones (25, 26) that project toward each other and extend parallel to each other over the entire length of the profile rod (15) and that are located on the same height. The distances of the two snap-in zones (25, 26) from the closest strip (21) correspond to each other. In this manner, the profile rod (15) may be made extremely thin-walled, on the one hand, and offers possibilities for fastening profile pieces that permit the input of larger forces into the profile rod (15) as well as the output of such forces therefrom, on the other hand. This concept offers a basis for the construction of light-weight heald shafts that can still handle great loads.

The transverse-thread repeat has at least nine threads. All longitudinal threads run alternately over three transverse threads and under three transverse threads, and subsequently under the remaining transverse threads of a transverse thread repeat. Two directly adjacent longitudinal threads are displaced with respect to one another in the longitudinal direction by at least three transverse threads.

Abstract: A new and unique innovation in the art of bead weaving on a loom by eliminating the numerous remaining ends of the warp threads which, in other methods, must be woven back into the finished project. The innovation results in having only two remaining warp threads instead of many. The innovation also provides a new method for adjustment of the project length through the use of a “floating” rear vertical upright tailstock.

The systems of yarns include a hard yarn forming the main body of fabric and a composite covered elastic yarn with an elastic fiber core; wherein the fabric has an outer face side, a back side, and the fabric includes at least one of: (a) a weaving pattern where the composite yarn and at least one adjacent hard yarn pass over the same pick when the composite yarn is on the outer surface; (b) the ratio of hard yarn denier to composite yarn denier is at least 1:1; and (c) the composite yarn floats over no more than 5 picks on the outer face side.

Abstract: A paper weaving kit (100) has a box-like body (106). A top of the body (106) forms a weaving aid (107). A crimping apparatus (108) is mounted at one side of the body (106). A removable sheet tearing apparatus (109) is slidably mounted within the body (106) at a front end of the body (106). The sheet tearing apparatus (109) can be used to tear strips of paper from a sheet of newspaper or the like. This strip is then fed through the crimping apparatus (108) which crimps fold lines in the paper strip. The paper strip is then folded about the fold lines to form a weaving element. number of weaving elements are mounted side by side on a support panel (112) on the weaving aid (107). These are clamped against the support panel (112) by clamp (115) and thus form a number of juxtaposed warp weaving elements extending down the support panel (112). Weft weaving elements can then be woven through the warp weaving elements on the panel (112) to form a woven panel of paper weaving elements.

Abstract: A method and a clamping device for clamping a weft thread in a jet weaving machine are proposed. The weft thread strand runs through the beginning section (2.1) and the end section (2.2) of a mixing tube. The two sections between themselves form an engagement opening (8) and are connected with a first holding magnet (11) by a counter support (9). An actuator (6) in the form of an elastomeric bellows, which comprises a chamber (10), is located on the beginning section (2.1) of the mixing tube. The chamber (10) is connected to a valve (16) via a supply line (20) and is acted on variably with compressed air. By deformation of the actuator (6), a clamping element (7) connected thereto carries out a tilting movement between the counter support (9) and a contact stop part (19), which contains a second holding magnet (12). The holding magnets (11, 12) lead to an exact and reliable clamping of the weft thread (3).
