Abstract: A device for producing a fabric edge provided with a binding comprising alternately movable harnesses, each carrying a plurality of warp thread holders for one group of warp threads. The holders have ends in one end position of the harnesses which are spaced at a distance apart in the direction of lift in order to form a shed. A guide mechanism moves the warp threads associated with one group laterally away and a binding thread holder for a binding thread binds the warped threads together. The binding thread holder has an end which is movable transversely in the shed. The guide mechanism is in the form of guide bars arranged parallel to each other between two frame rails fastened to the associated harness.

Abstract: Apparatus for producing a selvage provided with a crossweave, comprising two reciprocally movable weaving shafts on one of which is a needle holder and on the other of which is a main rail with a diagonal slit. A header rail is movably supported adjacent the main rail for limited travel, the header rail having a diagonal slit which overlaps the diagonal slit in the main rail. The main rail is connected to the other weaving shaft by an elastic connection in the form of elastic bands or cords.
