  • Patent number: 6945282
    Abstract: A shed-forming device and a method for using it are provided for creating a shed of warp yarns in a weaving machine. The shed-forming device includes a plurality of yarn separating elements operably disposed to one another within the weaving machine. The yarn separating elements individually separate the warp yarns into operational zones between the yarn separating element. A fluid supply apparatus supplies fluid to the yarn separating elements in the shed-forming device. The yarn separating elements direct the fluid to contact the warp yarns, forcing the warp yarns to form changeable sheds to allow proper weaving.

  • Patent number: 5390709
    Abstract: A shedding apparatus for being fitted onto a fabric-forming machine such as a loom for controlling the up and down movement of warp-carrying heddles to form a filling insertion zone. The shedding apparatus includes a computer for storing pattern information relating to a pre-determined pattern to be translated into a woven pattern on the fabric-forming machine. A plurality of pneumatic piston and cylinder assemblies are attached to respective heddles for pneumatically moving the heddle attached thereto into and out of shed-forming position. Pressurized air is delivered to predetermined piston and cylinder assemblies to thereby move the selected piston and cylinder assemblies and their respective heddles into upper and lower shed-forming positions to receive a filling yarn to thereby create a portion of the pattern.
