Abstract: A loom equipped with a leveling motion incorporated with a cam-operated type shedding motion. The loom is provided with a control unit to control a variety of operations of the loom. Upon stopping of the loom weaving operation in response to a loom stop signal, the control unit judges that a loom stop time required for recovering a failed condition is longer or shorter than a predetermined time in accordance with the type of the loom stop signal which is different depending upon the cause for which the loom weaving operation is stopped. If the result of the judgement is that the loom stop time is longer than the predetermined time, the leveling motion is operated to level warp yarns at the level near a warp line, thereby loosening the tension applied to the warp yarns.

Abstract: A device for treating a surplus warp yarn drawn from a warp beam of a loom consists of a drive member rotatable by the warp beam. A rotational force of the drive member is transmitted through a transmission device to a driven member. The driven member is secured to a take-up reel disposed separate from the warp beam. The surplus warp yarn drawn from the warp beam is wound up on the take-up reel rotatable with the driven member, thereby preventing the surplus warp yarn from getting entangled with regular warp yarns drawn from the warp beam.

Abstract: A tube squeezer comprises a main frame in the shape of pistol, a thrust rod slidably supported by the main frame, an intermittent feeding mechanism for shifting the thrust rod intermittently, a holding part for holding tightly the tail end of a tube to be squeezed and a squeezing part fixed to the front end of the thrust rod for squeezing the tube. The squeezing part has two squeezing members between which the tube is squeezed. With the tail end of the tube held by the holding part, the squeezing part is moved forward intermittently by actuating a trigger lever.

Abstract: A waste binding yarn take-up device for a shuttleless loom, comprises a traction device for pulling waste binding yarns at a constant traction speed, a rotary traverse roller rotatable at a peripheral velocity slightly higher than the traction speed of the traction device, and formed at its outer surface with a guide groove along which the waste binding yarns from the traction device is guided to make traverse motion thereof, and a rotatable core member on which a cheese of the waste binding yarns from the traverse roller is capable of being formed, the core member being biased so that the outer surface of the cheese contacts the outer surface of the traverse roller, thereby wounding up the waste binding yarns on the core member, holding in tension the waste binding yarns without causing the slackening of the waste binding yarns.

Abstract: An apparatus for selecting inserting weft yarns each into a weaving shed of warp yarns in a shuttleless weaving loom, in which a fluid distributor valve unit, a weft feeding and length-measuring mechanism and a weft retaining unit are operated by levers selectively driven for rocking motion depending upon the angular positions of cams mounted in two groups on separate cam shafts which are rotatable independently of each other and which are driven to turn about the respective center axes of the cam shafts in accordance with a predetermined weaving schedule stored in, for example, a dobby mechanism.

Abstract: Weft feeding mechanism of a shuttleless loom comprises a feed roller driven from a loom shaft, a pressure roller engageable with the feed roller, another roller engageable with the feed roller in accordance with separation of the pressure roller from the feed roller and in gearing connection with the pressure roller, and control means for movement of the pressure roller into and out of engagement with the feed roller in response to a signal indicating insertion of a selected weft, whereby the pressure roller is constantly driven from the feed roller irrespectively of its position engaging with or separating from the feed roller.
