Abstract: A face-to-face weaving machine is disclosed, which includes a cutting bench to guide the movement of a cutting blade in order to cut a face-to-face fabric. The cutting bench is carried and/or supported at its extremities by the frame of the weaving machine. In at least one additional location between the cutting bench extremities, the cutting bench is carried and/or supported by the frame by way of one or more intermediate parts. A face-to-face weaving machine with a cutting bench that possesses sufficient stiffness to significantly reduce sagging of the cutting bench is thereby obtained.

Abstract: A device for driving a weaving frame in a weaving machine, comprising a drive with a motor (4) or a geared motor (4, 7), provided with a bearing (10) on its output shaft (9), with an eccentric-shaft (2) and with a driving rod (8), wherein the drive with motor (4) or geared motor (4, 7), with eccentric shaft (2) and with driving rod (8) is provided as a driving module (1) in which the eccentric shaft (2) is supported in an abutment (3) situated in the housing (5) of the driving module (1) on the side of the eccentric shaft (2) away from the motor (4) or the geared motor (4, 7). A weaving machine which is provided with one or several of the devices.

On the other hand, the invention relates to a weaving machine which is provided with one or several devices according to the invention.

Abstract: This invention relates to a face-to-face weaving machine (15) comprising a cutting bench (3) to guide the movement of a cutting blade in order to cut a face-to-face fabric (18), wherein said cutting bench (3) is carried and/or supported at its extremities (16) by the frame of the weaving machine and in that, at least at one additional location between said extremities, said cutting bench (3) is carried and/or supported by the frame by way of one or more intermediate parts. By this, we obtain a face-to-face weaving machine with a cutting bench that possesses sufficient stiffness to significantly reduce sagging of the cutting bench (3).

Abstract: A knife carriage for face-to-face weaving machines has a supporting surface with interchangeable, adjustable sliding parts which direct the knife carriage in relation to a guiding section. A cutting instrument separates top and bottom fabrics from each other. The instrument has attachment(s) for a drive cord from a drive mechanism for the knife carriage. The sliding parts and the attachment(s) for the drive cord on the supporting surface have a device, which when tightened, makes the attachment line of the device coincide respectively with the contact line of the sliding parts with the supporting surface, and surface the contact surface of the attachment(s) with the supporting surface. The length of the supporting surface is smaller than the distance between the extremities of the sliding parts protruding in relation to the supporting surface in longitudinal direction of the knife carriage.
