Abstract: A system for sliding a door of, for example, a cupboard, includes a bottom slide rail suitable for being set on a surface such that the door can come to bear on the bottom slide rail. A connecting device slides in the bottom slide rail. This connecting device is secured to a bottom of the door. A drive device exerts a drive force on the connecting device to cause the connecting device to slide in the bottom slide rail.

Abstract: A system (100) for sliding a door (101) comprises a bottom slide rail (103) adapted to be placed on the ground so that the door (101) can rest on the bottom slide rail (103). A connecting device (108) can slide in the bottom slide rail (103). This connecting device (108) is attachable to a bottom part of the door (101). A drive device (110) exerts a driving force on the connecting device (108) in order to slide the connecting device (108) in the bottom slide rail (103).

Abstract: A process for inserting weft lengths into the shed of a loom including a metering-delivering device that supplies a storage member for storing a predetermined length of yarns. The yarn length is caught between the outlet of the delivering device and the storage member in order to be inserted into the shed formed by the warp yarns. The yarn length is then cut and operationally gripped close to the selvedge of the fabric. The cut end of the yarn is held over before being re-introduced in the storage member for the next insertion, the cut end of the yarn being held over in an independent circuit outside the path joining the outlet of the delivering device to the inlet of the storage member.

Abstract: Weft measuring device for weaving looms, and in particular for shuttleless looms where the weft is cast through a shed by a pressurized mechanism or by the energy communicated to the mass of the yarn by a casting mechanism. The device has a pair of propelling rollers driven in rotation which form a gripping line between which the weft yarn is introduced intermittently by way of elements actuated in relation to the weft casting program. At least one of the rollers has a structure such that the end of the gripping line toward which the yarn is conveyed at the start of measurement moves regularly and synchronously with the cycle of the loom.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the insertion of a weft yarn in the shed of a weaving machine in which said weft yarn is drawn from a reserve located outside the shed to be inserted in the form of a loop of which one of the ends is fastened and the other thrown, wherein an air stream is blown in the shed in the direction of insertion of the weft, the speed of this air stream being less than or at the most equal to the speed of the thrown end, the action of this air stream being such that it tends to maintain the two ends of the loop separate from each other.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for the preparation and insertion of at least one type of weft yarn into the shed of a weaving machine. The said device comprises a yarn metering-delivering member feeding a storage chamber used for temporarily storing a length of weft yarn before its insertion into the shed. The introduction of the weft yarn into the storage chamber and its extraction to be thrown by means of rotating rollers are effected via a single guiding channel which comprises a zone situated between the throwing rollers and close to the gripping line, said zone overlapping laterally with respect to the rollers and comprising a continuous longitudinal slot.

Abstract: A device adapted to be introduced into the shed of a weaving loom. The device is designed to facilitate insertion of a weft by an air stream. The device has a plurality of leaves which are spaced apart to allow the passage of the warp yarns. The leaves are placed in front of the reed and are provided with a recess, which recess is situated opposite the teeth. A portion of the reed, opposite to the recess, has a sharp-edged profile while the remaining portion has a round and smooth edged profile.
