Abstract: A full-width temple device for a loom including: a base body including a base plate; a cover provided on the base plate; and a temple bar accommodated in a space defined by the base plate and the cover, where the temple bar is a ring bar temple constituted by a rod-shaped inner bar and ring temples provided continuously to both sides of the inner bar and having shaft parts for support at both ends. The base body has support parts at both end portions for supporting the ring bar temple on the shall parts. The full-width temple device includes attachment members each detachably attached to each of the support parts and comprising a plate-shaped shaft fixing part having an engaging part formed to engage with a circumferential surface of the shaft part.

Abstract: A fabric spreader arrangement for a loom includes a spreader rod rotatably received in a hollow space of a spreader body. The fabric is looped around the spreader rod in the hollow space. To achieve a low wear, a light weight, and an excellent fabric spreading effect, the spreader rod is a one-piece hollow cylindrical metal body extending entirely over the weaving width, preferably made of V4A stainless steel, having an outer diameter of at least 10 mm (and preferably 15 mm) with a wall thickness of at least 0.4 mm (and preferably 0.7 mm), and having an outer circumferential surface that has been surface treated to achieve a surface roughness with a peak-to-valley roughness measurement of at least 10 ?m (and preferably 20 to 50 ?m).

Abstract: A method for weaving a double layer cloth (1, 2) for use in the manufacture of airbag cloths. It is carried out using a weaving machine which includes, between the weaving sley (3) and the cloth beam (10), a temple arrangement (4) which is arranged directly after a beat-up edge (30), a deflection element (5?) for the cloth (1, 2) and a drive roller (6). The produced cloth is transported away from the beat-up edge with the drive roller and using suitable means in such a manner that both layers of the cloth—the lower cloth (2) and the upper cloth (1) respectively—are acted on by largely symmetrical forces. The cloth in the temple arrangement is drawn against frictional resistances through a gap (440) between two stationary surfaces and is at the same time stretched transversely to the transport direction by lateral temple arrangements (45).

Abstract: A device for producing at least two tubular belt bands that are turned inside out, where each of the belt bands has two fabric layers on top of one another and connected to each other in a longitudinal direction by woven hems to form a cavity. Warp threads of the layers have a uniform warp thread density over an entire length of the belt bands. The device includes a power loom having a shedding mechanism with a reed with parallel dents, a weft insertion device extending over an entire width of the power loom, a control unit for controlling the shedding mechanism, and an expander extending over the entire width of the power loom. The expander has a smaller diameter in a tubular area than in a hem area in correspondence with the belt bands to be produced so that clamping pressure of the expander is substantially constant over an entire width of the woven fabric. A thermal cutting device has cutting heads that are operative to cut out the belt bands in the hem area from the woven fabric web.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for attaching to a face-to-face weaving machine cylindrical upper and lower temples of the type having inclined toothed rings provided on shanks, the shanks of the upper and lower temples being attached to separate L-shaped upper and lower temple holder plates, in such a manner the temple shanks, pointing to the center of the weaving machines, are attached to the leg of the L-shaped holder plate placed in the warp direction, whereas the other leg of the L-shaped holder is directed towards the outside of the weaving machine and, in a manner adjustable in the warp-direction, is attached to a horizontal connecting piece, itself, in a manner adjustable as to height, being attached to a vertical holder.

Abstract: An automatic temple for feeding a web in weaving looms, includes a hollow tubular bar of a length comparable to the entire weaving width and which has a bore with a slot in the wall thereof extending outwardly from the bore and longitudinally between the ends of the hollow tubular bar. A circularly cylindrical rod is of a greater diameter than the slot and is disposed within the bore of the hollow tubular bar and it is rotatable therein for winding the web therearound which is fed into the slot around the rod and out the slot at a spaced location from its entrance. The cylindrical rod has hollow tubular end portions and it is also movable during winding against the slot. The cylindrical rod has a plurality of circumferentially spaced longitudinally extending keyways defined through its hollow end portions and a plurality of keys are guided for radial movement in the keyways and they have outer ends with needle points.
