Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0109387A1] 1. A circular loom comprising tensioning means for warp threads designed as bending springs (20), which bending springs, with one end, are arranged on a stationary machine frame (1) of the circular loom so as to peripherally surround the harness, and on the other, movable end each carry a warpthread (9)-receiving eye (22), characterised in that the spring characteristics of the tensioning means are variable by alteration of the effective length of each bending spring (20) and are adaptable to the warp threads.
