Abstract: The invention relates to a loom comprising a warp thread tensioning device and a shedding device (12), which comprises pre-tensioned warp threads (4) in a first shedding position (F1). The loom also comprises a lifting device (38), which can be driven in an oscillating manner, and followers (40) for the warp threads (4), in addition to control means (46) that can be operated by actuators (44) in order to selectively engage the warp threads (4) in the followers (40) and that displace the warp threads (4) into a second shedding position (F3).

Abstract: Different groups of warp threads are subject to different variations of warp thread tension during shed changes, especially when weaving a fabric having portions such as fabric edges with different weave binding patterns. To provide different warp thread tension compensation for the different thread groups, a cam-like first tensioning module is arranged protruding from the circumferential surface of the backrest along the entire operating width thereof. Second and third tensioning modules are arranged and engaged over the first tensioning module at particular selected axial locations on the backrest. While the second and third tensioning modules provide a constant deflection path distance for second and third warp thread groups guided thereover, the first tensioning module provides a varying deflection path distance for the first warp thread group guided thereover, depending on the oscillating rotational angular position of the backrest.

Abstract: In a loom of which the backrest (3) and/or the warp stop motion (17) are adjustably supported on the machine frame (22) and are adjustable by associated adjusting equipment with at least one adjusting function, at least the backrest (3) and/or the warp stop motion (17) are automatically adjusted. To achieve this, at least one controllable driven adjusting device (30) connected to the loom control is allocated to the adjusting equipment. The existing actual position of the backrest and/or of the warp stop motion is determined. At least the measured values characteristic of the actual position are compared to prescribed nominal or desired values. From this comparison, an adjusting signal is generated, which is then provided to the adjusting device, which then automatically moves the backrest (3) and/or the warp stop motion (17) automatically into the respective desired position.

Abstract: An apparatus for adjustably affixing a support bracket to a part of a machine frame includes an adjustment screw to adjust the height of the support bracket on the frame and a pair of oppositely movable clamp elements having oblique surfaces for wedging the support bracket in place following adjustment. Wedging is accomplished by turning a setting screw to move the clamp elements in mutually opposite directions. The setting screw is parallel to the adjustment screw, allowing equal access to both the adjustment and setting screws.

Abstract: In a loom, a back roller for guiding warps is supported by a pair of back roller brackets which are mounted on and are horizontally adjustable relative to second back brackets. The latter brackets are mounted on and are vertically adjustable relative to fixed back brackets. The vertical positions of the second back brackets relative to the fixed back brackets are detected by light projectors and receivers. A computer compares the detected positions obtained from the light receivers with a preset position stored in a memory and extinguishes indicator lamps when the detected position agrees with the preset one. In similar manner the horizontal positions of the back roller brackets relative to the second back brackets are detected by associated light projectors and receivers, compared with preset positions stored in the computer memory, and indicator lamps are extinguished when the detected horizontal position agrees with the preset one.

The warp tension can therefore be so modulated as to obviate deleterious tension peaks and warp breakages and overflow tensions. The loom has at least one servomotor. A servomotor, which is triggered by a control and adjustment circuit arrangement, drives the warp-tensioning element by way of a reduction transmission and transmission elements. The servomotor can be commutated preferably brushlessly and electronically and have a low mass inertia rotor and high-field-strength permanent magnets.

Abstract: In a back rest arrangement on a weaving machine the back rest is preferably carried at each of its ends by one arm of a two-armed support frame or yoke which is pivotable about a stationary pivot axis on a machine frame. At least one of the arms of the support frame or yoke possesses a resilient portion or shank. A free end of the resilient shank is supported in a manner which is relatively rigid in relation to a pivoting motion of the support frame or yoke caused by the varying warp force acting on the back rest. The resilient shank is in operative association with a sensing probe for generating an electrical signal which is proportional to the deflection of the resilient shank. These measures render the arrangement suitable both for a so-called rigid or fixed back rest support as well as for a back rest support utilizing a rocking lever or rocker beam.

Means is provided for adjusting the basic torque to which the torsion bar or bars are subjected under a predetermined set of operating parameters of the loom.
