Abstract: A method of manufacturing an integral extra-broad woven fabric without piecing together a plurality of unit fabrics. The method includes disposing a warp yarn as divided into a first group warp yarn, a second group warp yarn . . . an ith group warp yarn . . . and an nth group warp yarn across the width of a weaving loom, inserting a weft in a zigzag fashion turning back at each loom end for each group in succession from the first group warp yarn to the nth group warp yarn and, then, in the reverse order from the nth group warp yarn to the first group warp yarn to complete one cycle of weft insertion and repeating the same cycle again.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for selecting the hooks of a weaving mechanism by successive feeling of two half zones of a card of the Jacquard type. Said device comprises a Maltese cross having four inlets determined by two perpendicular grooves and a driver of which the two pins are located at two different radial distances from the center. In this way, the Maltese cross is subjected to two alternating angular rotations of different amplitude. The invention is particularly applicable to weaving mechanisms incremental.
