Abstract: A device for producing a seersucker fabric on a loom lengthens the effect or pile warp threads compared to the base warp threads at the binding point of the woven fabric. The device is arranged on the outlet side of the loom. Simultaneously, the effect or pile warp thread gang is relieved of tensile loads on the inlet side of the loom in such a manner that it will retreat or creep back to the pile warp beam as little as possible. A lengthening of 41% and more is achieved, compared to length additions in the prior art in the range of 30 to 32%. Additionally a very uniform seersucker fabric free of faults is produced.
