Abstract: A yarn guiding device for a weaving machine (1) has at least one yarn guide (2) with an input side (3) which is provided to be situated at a yarn supply (4), and an output side (5) which is provided to be connected to a connecting panel (6) by means of a connecting unit (11). The connecting unit (11) is provided to connect the output sides (5) of at least two yarn guides (2) to the connecting panel (6). A weaving machine, more specifically an Axminster weaving machine or a tufting machine is provided with such a yarn guiding device.

Abstract: A delay flow water reservoir for a clothes dryer cabinet and method of use is provided. The delay flow reservoir has a container having an opening and a cap engaging the opening. The cap has a delay chamber with a drain opening, a seal covering the opening with first and second seal holes, and the delayed flow reservoir. The delay chamber fills with water from the container before draining into the clothes drying cabinets. The method of using the delay flow water reservoir permits the user to fill a container while in an upright position and then moving the delay flow water reservoir to an overturned dispense position. The method permits water to drain into the delay reservoir rather than out the drain opening while the user moves the reservoir into operational communication in the clothes drying cabinet.

Abstract: A device and weaving machine using the device for cutting discarded pile loop weft yarns in a fabric that is composed of a backing fabric consisting of weft yarns and warp yarns and that contains pile warp yarns by which, in one or several zones, pile loops are formed over discarded pile loop weft yarns, device being provided with a cutting blade to cut the discarded pile loop weft yarns, the device comprising a guiding needle that extends between two rows of pile positioned side by side in the direction of the warp, and the device being provided with two or several guiding yarns in the direction of the warp that push this side by side positioned pile away from the guiding needle and the cutting blade in the direction of the weft and that, at the same time, pull the discarded pile loop weft yarns away from the backing fabric in order to present them over the guiding needle to the cutting blade so that they can be severed.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for face-to-face weaving of an upper and a lower fabric on a face-to-face weaving machine, upper and lower fabric (101, 102) comprising at least a first zone with pile loops, the pile loops being formed around one or several lost pile loop weft yarns (16, 16?), and comprising at least a second zone where no pile loops are formed around lost pile loop weft yarns and catch means (1, 1?) being provided for supporting the lost pile loop weft yarns (16, 16?) within the second zone in one or several areas in the weft direction where no pile loops are formed around these lost pile loop weft yarns (16, 16?).
