Abstract: A clamping device (18) for temporarily clamping the fabric (2) in place is provided on the weaving machine (1), and interacts with a ventilating device (23) that effects the temporary elimination of the clamping action. The operation of the ventilating device (23) is controlled by the movement of the beat-up device (11) via a mechanical connection that exists between the beat-up device (11) and the clamping device (18), and is effected by a mechanical transmission (28)—to be understood in the broadest terms—via which the clamping force can be eliminated or also generated in some embodiments. Due to the controlled release of the fabric at times or during phases of operation of the weaving machine (1) that can be adjusted and selected, a simple adaptation of the operation of the weaving machine (1) to different types of fabric can be achieved. An operation with less longitudinal pull of the fabric is possible.

Abstract: The invention relates to a weaving machine for weaving pile fabrics, and a set (100) of at least two spacers (1-4, 11, 12, 21, 22, 31, 32, 41 and 42), wherein the spacers (1-4, 11, 12, 21, 22, 31, 32, 41 and 42) are provided and arranged in the weaving machine in such a manner that the pile warp yarns (18, 18?) have more space during their movement in the shed-forming zone towards the fabric line in the warp direction at their entry point in the array of lancets, so that they are hindered to a lesser degree by this array of lancets.

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: 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.
