Abstract: The invention relates to a warp machine for warping and spooling warp threads, particularly elastic or viscous warp threads. The warp machine according to the present invention includes a warp beam or parallel warp beam for taking up the warp thread and which is mounted to be rotationally driven about a rotary axis and which consists of a cylindrical spool element preferably having two lateral, flange-like warp beam discs. In addition, the machine is equipped with a compression element which is preferably movably mounted in an essentially radial direction to the warp beam which engages between the warp beam discs, and which presses the warp thread against the spool element.

Abstract: Process for making zigzag folds in loops of a continuous feed of flexible sheeting, especially textile sheeting, so that the sheeting (9) is drawn in with a layering device (13) which moves back and forth at a right angle to the feed direction and the sheeting is folded at the outlet. The sheeting (9) is drawn in between the two corotating rolls (4) which constitute the layering apparatus (13) so that the sheeting lies against one of the rolls (4), and the rolls (4) change their direction of rotation at the two opposite points in their back and forth movement in such a way that the rolls (4) rotate toward the left when they move laterally to the right, but the rolls rotate toward the right when they move laterally toward the left, and the sheeting (9) is delivered for folding by the roll (4) which is in the rear in the direction of lateral movement.
