Loom with movable beam

Abstract

To provide a loom for inserting continuous material, loosely joined material or piecewise material. The present invention relates to a loom for inserting continuous, loosely connected or piecemeal material. According to the invention, warp threads (4.a, 4.b) run downward from warp beams (1.a, 1.b) towards a fabric roll (5) and are individually held by hooks (3a, 3.b) fixed to guide beams (2.a, 2.b) between the upper warp threads (1.a, 1.b) and the lower fabric roll (5).

Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The invention described here is based on the following problem: In a flat weaving machine, the shed is bounded by four points and is therefore bounded by four conditions: · It is enclosed towards the top, held by the warp threads which are held in the upper position. - Enclosed towards the bottom by warp threads held in a downward position. · On a cloth beam, it is enclosed towards the front by a previously woven woven fabric. · Enclosed towards the rear by reeds. [Background technology]

[0002] It is consequently essential to convey the weft thread through each shed from one side of the loom to the other: according to the current prior art, this purpose is served by a shuttle on which a reserve of weft thread is wound, a gripper which passes the weft thread through the shed (where the weft thread is cut after each insertion), and a nozzle which conveys the weft thread by air or water force (where the weft thread is cut after each insertion).

[0003] Therefore, the weft diameter is determined by the diameter of the shed, the weft strength is determined by the respective technology used, the weft length is determined by the capacity of the bobbing and gripping parts and, in the case of the nozzle, approximately by the width of the fabric. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Thus, continuous material transport through the opening is not possible. In the prior art, loose or loosely connected material is simply not able to move to a location between the upper and lower beams. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] This problem is solved by the features of claim 1 and preferably also by the features of the further claims.

[0006] This is achieved in that the loom is rotated 90° compared to a conventional flat weaving loom and the cloth beam is at the bottom. Furthermore, the rigid heddle system is abandoned and instead of placing heddles on the shafts, the individual threads are guided through hooks that are assigned to the threads and fixed in rows in the guide beams. Even loose material can be placed on the cloth beam from above the loom, between these rows of hooks of the front and rear guide beams and through said beams, where the warp threads act as the front delimitation and the rear boundary, and the selection of loose material is delimited only by the mutual spacing of said warp threads. The cloth beams are respectively located below the formed openings and, under the effect of gravity, form a natural back claw towards the bottom.

[0007] Advantageously, the hooks on two opposing guide beams are laterally arranged opposite each other in an offset manner and spaced apart in the longitudinal direction of the guide beams.

[0008] In addition, at least one of the two guide beams is movable so that the hooks can engage with each other when the two guide beams approach each other, specifically so that the hooks of one guide beam can be placed between the hooks of the other guide beam.

[0009] The two different states alternately forming two different openings is achieved by the present invention. In the open state (V position) any material can be introduced. Any material can be: ·Can be supported by warp threads and fabric beams. It can be held in place by the warp threads towards the front and back. · In terms of diameter, it does not exceed the length of the warp legs and their spacing from the fabric beam as double-sided chains in each insertion procedure.

[0010] The aperture continues to change as the front guide beam approaches the rear guide beam until an aperture is formed by the now alternating crossed front and rear hooks, which close towards the top (crossed position). In the closed towards the top state, the yarns are introduced in a conventional manner, while the open state yarns stabilize the material introduced towards the top.

[0011] The next step is to return to the initial state and resume weaving.

[0012] In this way, cables, hoses and other materials that must never be cut and that are longer than the shuttle can be stored in the shuttle's bobbin. Loose materials can also be introduced that could not previously be stored in the shuttle, delivered by the gripper, or advanced through the openings by the air or water jets.

[0013] Optionally, according to the invention, the fabric beams and the guide beams are arranged and aligned such that the warp beams of one guide beam form a first warp plane; The warp beam of the other guide beam forms a second warp plane, and the warp planes are movable relative to one another by relative movement of the guide beams carrying the hooks. In particular, the warp plane extends from the guide beam to the finished woven fabric on the fabric beam, and may be curved or angled by additionally provided guide elements, in particular above the guide beam and towards the warp beam.

[0014] Optionally, and according to the invention, the warp planes in the relative positions of the guide beams can form an open V position, the V position having an opening towards the top and a fabric beam below the opening.

[0015] Optionally, and according to the invention, the warp plane by the guide beams may be movable from an open V position to a cross position and back again to the V position. Changing the position of the warp plane transitions from the V position through the cross position again.

[0016] Optionally, and according to the invention, the warp plane at least at the crossing point may be angled or curved, the angle being defined in particular by the guidance of the warp threads on the hooks, although an angle or a bend in the warp plane may also be provided at the V-position, depending on the placement of the warp beam and potential further guidance of the warp beam.

[0017] Optionally, and according to the invention, the warp planes between the V position and the crossing position can assume a coplanar, neutral position, where the warp planes are congruent.

[0018] Optionally, and according to the invention, at least two warp beams can be provided, each for receiving the warp threads of one warp plane, where the warp beams are arranged at a distance from each other, the distance preferably corresponding to at least the maximum width of the V-plane, the position of maximum width being the highest position at which the warp threads run diagonally downwards relative to the guide beams, and therefore are not guided horizontally or upwards.

[0019] Optionally, according to the invention, two warp thread beams can be arranged at a mutual distance, where each of the warp thread beams is assigned to one of the guide beams and carries the warp threads guided by the assigned guide beam, the first guide beam with the first warp thread beam being located opposite the second guide beam with the second warp thread beam.

[0020] Optionally, and according to the invention, the arrangement of the warp thread beams and the arrangement and mobility of the guide beams allow the warp threads to be moved relative to one another between an open-up V position and a crossing position, in which the warp threads of one guide beam together with the warp threads of the other guide beam form a closed shed for the weft threads which are introduced into the shed in the conventional manner.

[0021] Optionally, and in accordance with the invention, the hooks at the crossing locations may be intermeshed with one another such that the hooks of one guide beam move between and over the hooks of the other guide beam, thus moving the hooks of one guide beam closer to the other guide beam.

[0022] Optionally and inventively, the guide beam may be divided into axially consecutive (in the longitudinal direction) guide beam sections, where the guide beam sections are movable independently of one another. One hook or several hooks may be arranged on each guide beam section. The guide beam sections are movable in particular between a V position and a cross position. Alternatively or additionally, the guide beam sections may be rotatable, preferably about a rotation axis parallel to the hook longitudinal direction. The rotatable guide beam section preferably comprises two or more hooks.

[0023] Optionally and inventively, the hooks can be configured to be open, closed, or closed but open. A closed hook corresponds to a loop. An open hook has a gap for the entry of warp yarns, and an open hook has a closable gap.

[0024] Optionally and inventively, the hook may have a terminal hook bend of at least 280 degrees, preferably at least 370 degrees. The extent of the hook bend here depends on how the transition between the terminal hook bend and the rest of the hook takes place. The extent of the hook bend is advantageous in such a way that on the reverse movement of the hook, the received warp yarns remain within the hook bend.

[0025] Optionally and according to the invention, the first frame with the warp beam and the guide beam can be movable relative to the second frame with the warp beam and the guide beam, whereby preferably only one of the frames is movable. Arranging the warp beam and the guide beam on a common frame simplifies the construction of the weaving machine, resulting in a fixed arrangement of one frame and only the other frame being movable.

[0026] The subject of the invention also relates to a method for producing a woven fabric using a weaving machine according to the invention, see claim 17.

[0027] Optionally, and according to the invention, in the crossed position of the loom, a weft thread can be introduced into the closed shed, where at least one material strand is then placed in the open shed in the V position of the loom. The material strand may be a continuation of the weft thread, although it is preferred that the material thread is different from the weft thread.

[0028] The subject of the invention also relates to a woven fabric having warp and weft threads, at least partially produced on a loom according to the invention. See claim 19.

[0029] According to the invention and optionally, the strands of material, or at least one continuous strand of material, may be provided in the woven fabric parallel to the weft threads and alternating with the strands of material. The woven fabric may comprise at least one of a plurality of strands of material and different strands of material alternating with the weft threads.

[0030] Optionally, and in accordance with the present invention, Wool strands, or Irrigation hose, or A combination of these can be provided as a plurality of material strands or as a single material strand. The wool strand is in particular formed from one or more wool tops.

[0031] As a result of production on the loom according to the invention, the woven fabric may have completely new and unexpected material combinations. An advantageous woven fabric as material strand comprises a combination of wool top and irrigation hose. The fabric will serve as a cover for the ground to be irrigated. Plants can grow through the wool. The wool can act as fertilizer or provide additional fertilizer material. Furthermore, the wool prevents the rapid evaporation of water. Untreated wool acts hydrophobic, water is repelled by the wool.

[0032] Further features of the invention will emerge from the remainder of the description and from the claims.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0035] For the sake of clarity, only the components relevant to the present invention are illustrated, and the number of hooks in Figures 3 and 4 is limited to three hooks per guide beam for the purpose of illustrating the principle of the technology.

[0036] The following applies to the content of all drawings: The front warp threads 4.a run from the front warp beam 1.a through the front hooks 3.a fixed to the front guide beam 2.a to the fabric beam 5. The rear warp threads 4.a run from the rear warp beam 1.b through the rear hooks 3.b fixed to the rear guide beam 2.b to the fabric beam 5.

[0037] The subdivision into front and rear guide beams (in terms of expression) is arbitrary and serves only for the purpose of distinction, and may be reversed, replaced by right and left guide beams, first and second guide beams, etc. The same applies to other components present in pairs.

[0038] 1 and 3 illustrate an open aperture condition, specifically an open aperture 18, between which insertion of continuous, loose or loosely joined material 6 occurs between non-intersecting hooks 3.a and 3.b.

[0039] Figures 2 and 4 show the closed state of the shed, specifically the closed shed 19, in which a conventional weft insertion 7 takes place while the hooks 3.a, 3.b cross over.

[0040] As can be seen immediately in Figures 3 and 4, the front warp threads 4.a form a common warp plane 17.a, and the rear warp threads 4.b form a rear warp plane 17.b. The warp planes 17.a and 17.b in Figure 3 form an open V-plane. The warp planes 17.a and 17.b in Figure 4 cross each other and form a closed opening with the deflection of the warp threads 4.a and 4.b in the area of ​​the hooks 3.a and 3.b.

[0041] A weaving machine 8 according to the invention may essentially comprise two frames 9.a, 9.b, as illustrated in Figures 6 and 7. Figure 5 shows frame 9.a in a front view. Visible components of frame 9.a are an external upright longitudinal rail 10, an upper end of a front guide beam 2.a, a lower and spaced forward front warp beam 1.a, two lower and spaced downward support beams 11.a, 12.a and a lower end of an articulated beam 13.a.

[0042] The two frames 9.a, 9.b in the area of ​​the articulated beams 13.a, 13.b are connected to one another in an articulated manner (not shown in more detail) such that the frames 9.a, 9.b can pivot in opposite directions, see double arrow 14.

[0043] Preferably, one of the two frames 9.a and 9.b is mounted stationary and the other frame is held pivotally. However, both frames 9.a and 9.b can be pivotally positioned.

[0044] Figure 7 shows the open V position of the loom 8 or of the warp threads 4.a and 4.b, respectively. The two frames 9.a and 9.b of Figure 6 have been pivoted slightly closer together than in Figure 7. This is only an intermediate position on the way to the crossing position derived from Figures 2 and 4.

[0045] The upper warp thread 4.b of the hook 3.b in Fig. 7 is guided downwards on the guide beam 2.b to the warp thread beam 1.b and is held there, this applies in a similar way to the warp thread 4.a, but is not explicitly shown in the drawing.

[0046] In the illustration of Fig. 7, the warp threads 4.b run loosely from the guide beam 2.b to the warp beam 1.b. This illustration has been chosen only to clearly show the warp threads 4.b in this position. In practice, it is preferred to tension the warp threads tightly to the warp beam 1.b.

[0047] The fabric beam 5 is shown only by dashed lines in Fig. 6. The warp threads 4.a and 4.b are not shown for the sake of clarity.

[0048] Figures 8, 9 and 10 show the potential relative movements of the guide beams 2.a, 2.b with the hooks 3.a and 3.b. Figure 9 corresponds approximately to the illustration of Figure 7, with the guide beams 2.a and 2.b in a largely separated, open, V-position. Figure 9 also corresponds to Figures 1 and 3 (in the hook position). The end bends 15 of the hooks 3.a and 3.b, which receive the warp threads 4.a and 4.b, have a significant mutual spacing in the direction of the arrow 14. The hooks 3.a and 3.b are preferably approximately in a common horizontal plane.

[0049] Figure 8 shows a similar crossing position as in Figures 2 and 4. The guide beams 2.a, 2.b are converged to the extent that they are opposed to the hooks 3.a, 3.b. The hook 3.a of the guide beam 2.a engages with the hook 3.b of the guide beam 2.b and moves over the end bend 15.a of the hook 3.a towards the opposite guide beam 2.b or towards the guide beam 2.a, respectively.

[0050] Figure 10 shows an intermediate position of the guide beams 2.a and 2.b in which the end bends 15.a and 15.b of both guide beams 2.a and 2.b are aligned along a common line 16. The intermediate position may also be called the neutral position or I position. In practical applications of the weaving machine, the intermediate position is usually passed through without stopping.

[0051] FIG. 11 shows one embodiment in the design of the guide beam 2.b. The rear guide beam 2.b is sectioned in the longitudinal direction into individual guide beam sections 2.b-1, 2.b-2, 2.b-3, 2.b-4. Each guide beam section is movable in the direction of the arrow 14 independently of the other guide beam sections. Mounting and drives suitable for this purpose are not shown. In an exemplary manner, the guide beam section 2.b-3 is shown in a cross position according to FIG. 8, while the remaining guide beam sections assume an open V position according to FIG. 9. As a result of the described sectioning of the guide beam 2.b, special weaving patterns can be generated.

[0052] The independent mobility of the guide beam sections results in the non-uniformity of the warp surface 17·b. In the position according to FIG. 11, it may be said that the warp beams on the guide beam section 2.b-3 are no longer part of the warp surface 17·b.

[0053] Each guide beam section 2.b-1 to 2.b-4 in FIG. 11 has in each case one hook 3.b. A different allocation is also possible, for example having more than two hooks per guide beam section.

[0054] The rotation of adjacent warp beams is possible, for example, by means of rotatable guide beam sections which in each case have two hooks 3.b. The rotation is preferably effected about an axis of rotation parallel to the arrow 14.

[0055] Only the guide beam 2.b with multiple guide beam sections is shown in Fig. 11. Alternatively or additionally, the other guide beams 2.a may be configured in multiple sections.

[0056] The terminal bends 15.a and 15.b of the hooks 3.a and 3.b are shown in a simplified form in the figures. In practice, the bends 15.a and 15.b are designed to allow active movement of the warp threads 4.a and 4.b by the bends 15.a and 15.b in both directions of the arrow 14. To achieve this, the terminal bends 15.a and 15.b may be designed as closed or open loops so that the warp threads 4.a and 4.b can be placed in the bends 15.a and 15.b by lateral movement. The terminal bends 15.a, 15.b should extend over an angle of at least more than 270 degrees, preferably more than 360 degrees, depending on the design of the transition between the terminal bends and the rest of the hooks 3.a and 3.b.

[0057] Quite individual types of products can be produced with the weaving machine 8 according to the invention. Non-weftable materials are placed in the open opening 18 in the V-position according to figures 1, 3, 7 and 9. Non-weftable materials are, for example, particularly thick, bulky, hard materials and / or continuous materials. Other combinations of these materials are also possible. For example, a ground cover with irrigation function can be produced by placing wool strands 6-1 associated with a continuous irrigation hose 6-2 in the respective open V-position.

[0058] FIG. 12 shows a woven fabric 20 formed in this way during weaving, as shown by the arrow 21 in FIG. The yarn 7 arranged in the weft direction and the materials 6-1 and 6-2 are shown in FIG. 2, shown in cross section in FIG. 13. The weft threads 7, also called stabilizing threads, The wool strands 6-1 and the irrigation hoses 6-2 are arranged alternately in combination. The irrigation hoses 6-2 are located next to or in front of the wool strands 6-1, respectively, but It may be surrounded by strands or placed above or below the wool strands.
