The invention comprises a full-fashioned weaving process for the production of a woven garment which can accommodate and include sleeves. The garment is made of only one, single integrated fabric and has no discontinuities or seams. Additionally, the garment can include intelligence capability, such as the ability to monitor one or more body vital signs, or garment penetration, or both, by including a selected sensing component or components in the weave of the garment.

A composite papermaking fabric having an upper support fabric including upper warp and weft yarns and a lower contact fabric including lower warp and weft yarns. The upper fabric is woven in a first weave pattern which forms a support surface and the lower fabric is woven in a broken twill weave pattern which forms the contact surface. The composite fabric includes paired binder yarns which weave in alternating sequences with the upper and lower fabrics binding them together. The broken twill weave pattern provides plural floats of cross-machine direction yarns passing outwardly of a plurality of adjacent lower warp yarns forming a plurality of adjacent cross-machine direction floats. Certain of the paired floats comprise a lower weft yarn and a binder yarn while others may comprise two lower weft yarns. The lower weft yarn floats are positioned to shield and protect the binder yarn floats along their entire length.

The heald shafts of a power loom are driven by electric D.C. or A.C. motors which have a external rotor or an armature connected to the respective heald shaft through two articulated couplings, for example snap locks, and a push-pull rod. The motors receive control signals from a computerized controller for reversing the motion direction of the external rotor or armature. The stators of the motors are rigidly mounted on a fixed axis secured to the loom frame.

A leno cloth is prepared, which comprises at least ground warp threads 1, leno warp threads 3 and weft threads 2, and in which the weft threads 2 and the ground warp threads 1 are arranged essentially interspace free. The weft threads are bound-off by means of the leno warp threads 3, which comprise a clearly lower titer relative to the ground warp threads 1, with such a lower tension relative to the ground warp threads, so that the crossings of the leno warp threads 3 with the ground warp threads 1 that are present due to the binding are arranged in a plane parallel to the plane of the maximum thickness of the weft threads. The leno warp threads 3 comprise a higher working-in or take-up into the woven cloth than the ground warp threads 1. According to a further aspect of the invention, a method for the production of a leno cloth as well as a loom for the carrying out of the method for the production of a leno cloth are described.

A device for obtaining off-axis reinforcement of a woven object. The device is made up of a fixed mandrel and a rotating mandrel. The rotating mandrel is connected to the fixed mandrel by a shaft that rotates through the middle of the fixed mandrel. The shaft allows the rotating mandrel to move up and down in relation to the fixed mandrel. A portion of the woven object can be clamped to the fixed mandrel while a second portion of the woven object can be clamped to the rotating mandrel. When rotated, the rotating mandrel causes the warp fibers in the woven object to twist off the 0° direction while fill or hoop fibers remain substantially parallel to the 90° direction.

An electrical rotating apparatus for controlling a harness cord associated with the shed of a weaving loom which includes an actuator including a rotor and a stator. The rotor is formed of at least two permanent magnets which are mounted within a tube so as to be spaced axially with respect to one another and wherein a plurality of stator elements are also provided offset axially relative to an axis of rotation of the rotor such that each of the plurality of rotors corresponds with a separate one of the plurality of stators. The polarities of one or the other of the permanent magnets or the stator elements are offset angularly relative to the axis of rotation.

A novel rod linkage for driving a heddle shaft includes at least one strap (16), which for damping oscillation has a sandwich structure (37) oriented in the longitudinal direction (L) of the strap assembly (16). The sandwich structure includes at least one rigid element (27), extending in the longitudinal direction, which is joined to one end (17) of the strap assembly (16); a second rigid element (31), likewise extending essentially in the longitudinal direction, which is joined to the other end (19); and a two-dimensional damping element (34), again extending in the longitudinal direction, disposed between the first two. The element (34) exclusively effects the mechanical connection of the two parts (16a, 16b) of the strap assembly (16). Preferably, no additional connecting elements, such as rivets, screws, or other rigid connections, between the rigid elements (27, 31) are provided. Preferably, the rigid elements (27, 31) are embodied as wedges pointing in opposite directions, which thus define a wave resistance that varies in opposite directions in the longitudinal direction. This wave resistance brings about an intentional coupling misadaptation with respect to the oscillation transmission. The element (34) disposed between them damps the oscillations additionally, so that the strap assembly (16) transmits driving motions like a filter and destroys or absorbs interfering oscillations.

a weaving machine and a weaving method for direct three-dimensional weaving, wherein the weft thread (32) is imparted with its desired two-dimensional course already when the weft thread is being input. The position of the warp threads (12) is adapted to the weft thread path (23). The weft thread path (23) is defined by the lamellae (44) that extend into the shed (21) in between the warp threads (12). The lamellae (44) are arranged on a common bar (45) so that they can be individually adjusted, thus enabling the adjustment of the desired weft thread path (23) by positioning the lamellae (44). The lamellae (44) and the bar (45), at the same time, form the reed (43) that is used for casting on the weft thread (32) at the fabric edge (16).
