Abstract: A multi-axial fabric constructed as a triaxial fabric including oblique warp yarns running of different directions which are interwoven with weft yarns, and straight warp yarns at selected fabric locations interwoven with the weft yarns to form a quart axial fabric. At all of the locations where the oblique warp yarns are crossed with each other, the oblique warp yarns and the weft yarns are interwoven with each other. In addition, the straight warp yarns which are interwoven with the weft yarns are also interwoven with the oblique warp yarns.

Abstract: A weaving machine having opposite arrays of first heddles which are subjected to an alternative weft-wise movement. The weaving machine is also provided with opposite arrays of second heddles which are arranged on one side of the respective arrays of the first heddles adjacent the cloth fell. The weaving machine is operative to manufacture a multi-axial fabric constructed by a triaxial fabric including oblique warp yarns of different direction which are interwoven in weft yarns, and straight warp yarns interwoven with the weft yarns constructing the triaxial fabric. At all of the locations where the oblique warp yarns are crossed with each other, the oblique warp yarns and the weft yarns are interwoven with each other, and the straight warp yarns are interwoven with the weft yarns which are interwoven with the oblique warp yarns.

Abstract: An apparatus for stripping a carded web from a doffer cylinder of a textile carding machine comprises a roller arrangement which consists of a card clothed doffer cylinder, a stripping roller clothed with a scatteredly toothed metallic wire, a pair of top and bottom rollers arranged successively to the stripping roller, and an auxiliary stripping roller clothed with a scatteredly toothed metallic wire disposed close to the stripping roller and above the top roller, wherein the top and bottom rollers rotate at the same surface speed as that of the stripping roller, while the surface speed of the auxiliary stripping roller is lower than that of the stripping roller; the top roller, stripping roller and the auxiliary stripping roller rotate in the same direction; and furthermore, the distance between the bottom roller and the stripping roller and the distance between the top roller and the stripping roller are both narrow.
