  • Patent number: 5564473
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for correcting an irregularity during the insertion of a weft yarn into a weaving rotor of a series shed weaving machine involves drawing a length of weft yarn from a supply unit and delivering the weft yarn to the weaving machine in synchronicity with the weaving cycle. The length of weft yarn is inserted into a weft yarn conveyor apparatus and wound around a conveyor roller. A sensor is positioned between the supply unit and the conveyor apparatus to detect a weft yarn interruption, e.g., as a result of a weft yarn breakage or the yarn running out of spool. When the interruption is detected, the conveyor roller continues to deliver weft yarn stored in the storage apparatus until a complete weft yarn insertion into the weaving machine has taken place (i.e., weft yarn having a single loom width). The weft yarn is then cut at the insertion side of the weaving machine and the weaving machine is stopped.
