| (54) | A guide device for elastic yarns in crochet galloon looms |
| (57) In a crochet galloon loom, at least a guide reed (12) is rigidly connected to a supporting
bar (14) driven in horizontal reciprocating motion, transversely to the longitudinal
movement of the needles (2). The guide reed (2) extending horizontally above the needles
(2), is provided with a plurality of vertical grooves (15) disposed consecutively
in side by side relation and each of them engaging an elastic yarn (11) for guiding
it towards a respective needle (2). Each groove (15) of a length corresponding to
at least ten times the distance between the lower end (15c) thereof and the lying
plane of the needles (2), has a transverse outline in the form of an acute angle so
as to impose a precise positioning to the corresponding elastic yarn (11), which is
centred to the bisecting line of the angle itself. |
