Abstract: Provided is an ink introducing tube which realizes a stabilized ink supply from an ink tank located at the rear portion of a felt pen into a tip at the front end thereof, and a writing instrument incorporating it. On the inner peripheral wall of an ink introducing tube through which an ink tank is communicated with a tip located at the front end, a plurality of protrusions are formed to provide therebetween a passage for downward flow which utilizes the capillary action of the protrusions, and the interior space of the ink introducing tube which is surrounded by the tips of the plural protrusions is formed as a large space so that the capillary action can take place. Thus, the flow of air to the ink tank moves upwardly through the interior space while changing into air foam during the ascent, whereas the ink flows downward while being retained between the protrusions. Therefore, replacement of the ink by the air can be performed smoothly whereby ink blobbing is prevented and flawless writing is realized.

Abstract: A control device for weft inserting in a jet loom realizes weft inserting in stable running conditions without depending on the professional perceptions and experiences of operators. The control device for weft inserting is constructed by inferring a corrected value of at least one parameter for weft inserting by fuzzy inference on the basis of at least one operating information relating to the weft inserting in a weaving machine in order to accept an operating condition of the weaving machine at an objective value, and controlling at least one actuator for weft inserting on the basis of the corrected value inferred by the fuzzy inference.

Abstract: An apparatus for controlling weft inserting enables the calculation of accurate pressures suitable to an actual weft and weft inserting device. One or more definite weaving conditions determined by one or more manufacturer's textile and weaving machine specifications and one or more indefinite weaving conditions determined by human senses are inputted to a fuzzy inference circuit in which the pressure value of fluid supplied to a weft inserting nozzle is calculated by fuzzy inference on the basis of the definite and indefinite weaving conditions thus inputted. The weft inserting pressure of the fluid delivered to the weft inserting device is adjusted on the basis of the inferred value.

Abstract: A picking control device for a loom comprising a pressure controller for controlling jet pressure of a picking nozzle, a timing controller for controlling operation time of a picking member, angle corrector for correcting the start angle of the weft yarn and a condition setting section which is operated on the condition that one of the signals from the pressure controller or angle corrector is not present so that at least one of the jet pressure, start angle or speed of the loom is maintained at an optimum value. This allows for effective picking with adequate air consumption and helps to prevent weaving defects such as cutting of the weft yarn at the time of termination of picking, warp engagement and the like.
