Technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a device for control of warp threads in a weaving machine
for production of leno fabrics comprising on a batten positioned reed with gliders
among which are fed pairs of warp threads, where one of which is a part of a stationary
warp threads system and the second is a part of a rotating warp threads system, while
in the movement direction of the warp threads during weaving is in front of the reed
positioned a guiding device of rotating warp threads coupled with an independent drive
and a guiding device of stationary warp threads coupled with an independent drive,
the warp threads of the rotating warp threads system are before entering the guiding
means of the rotating warp threads deflected in the direction out of the stationary
warp threads system using a guide member positioned in the frame of the machine.
Background art
[0002] Leno fabrics exhibit specific properties given by the construction of the binding
point, where the particular cross lapping and consequently interlacing of the warp
threads necessary for fixation of weft in the fabric is created by mutual whipping
of a pair of warp threads around the introduced weft. The position of the weft is
in every weft cycle always over the same one and below the same second warp threads
system, where the warp threads do not interlace it by mutual rotation of upper and
lower position but so is done by mutual whipping of rotating warp threads around stationary
warp threads. This is why among wefts in leno fabric can be found gaps and these fabrics
are suitable as industrial fabrics, backing cloths for carpets and the like.
[0003] Each warp threads system is led into own guiding means, whose arrangement and method
of drive is different from known weaving machines.
[0004] According to
WO 98/07913 is the stationary warp threads system fed through a guide member into the eyes of
needles positioned on vertically reversibly convertible heald shaft, on which is positioned
also the guide member. Nevertheless, guide member blade is situated over the weaving
level. Rotating warp threads system is led in skewed slots of another vertically reversibly
convertible heald shaft, which is in the movement direction of the warp threads positioned
in front of the shaft frame with the needles. In front of the heald shaft with skewed
slots is the rotating warp threads system led into a direct slot of another heald
shaft going along the entire width of the warp, while before this heald shaft the
warp threads system passes through compensating rollers mounted on next heald shaft.
Each of the heald shafts, through which passes the rotating warp threads system are
vertically reversibly convertible and are positioned below the weaving level.
[0005] On the weaving machine for production of leno fabric consisting of weft threads and
rotating and stationary warp threads according to
EP 1120485 A1 are the stationary warp threads led through the guide member into the needles' eyes
positioned on the vertically reversibly convertible frame on which is also positioned
the guide member, thus the distance between the guide member and eyes of the needles
is during the weaving cycle constant. The rotating warp threads are led into the openings
in a vertically reversibly convertible bar. The disadvantage of this solution is a
horizontal oscillating motion of the entire rotating warp threads system, due to which
can especially during drop of voltage happen a mutual contact of rotating warp threads
and they can be damaged.
[0006] The common disadvantage of both described solutions is positioning of the stationary
warp threads system on the guide member, which increases the weight of the heald shaft
or the frame moving vertically in a long distance necessary for shed formation.
[0007] According to
DE 612 805 is know device for control of warp threads in a weaving machine for production of
leno fabrics comprising on a batten positioned reed with gliders among which are fed
pairs of warp threads, where one of which is a part of a stationary warp threads system
and the second is a part of a rotating warp threads system, while in the movement
direction of the warp threads during weaving is in front of the reed positioned a
guiding device of rotating warp threads coupled with a drive and a guiding device
of stationary warp threads coupled with a drive. The warp threads of the rotating
warp threads system are before entering the guiding means of the rotating warp threads
deflected in the direction out of the stationary warp threads system using a guide
member positioned in the frame of the machine. After this deflection the rotating
warp threads come through the jacquard heddle system (f), heald shaft (g), needle
system (h) and the reed system (i).
[0008] Disadvantage of this solution is bigger loading of the warp threads, which represents
bigger wear or damage of the threads with the weaving errors. Further disadvantage
of the objected solution is necessity of using more means with more drives or more
energy for drives.
[0009] The invention intends to eliminate the disadvantages of the background art
Principle of the invention
[0010] The goal of the invention has been reached by a device for control of warp threads
in a weaving machine for production of leno fabrics according to the invention, whose
principle consists in that the guiding means of rotating warp threads consists of
a system of needles fitted with eyes positioned on a needle bar mounted horizontally
reversibly convertibly on the machine frame on means situated over the weaving level
and the guiding means of stationary warp threads consists of a bar fitted with openings
and which is vertically reversibly convertibly mounted on means situated below the
weaving level..

Specific description
[0012] From a warp beam
1 are warp threads
2 drawn-off in a well-known manner and they are divided in a rotating warp threads
system
21 and a stationary warp threads system
22. The stationary warp threads system
22 is led through a back rest
3 to a guiding means
4 of stationary warp threads
22 consisting a bar
41 fitted with openings
411 through which are led stationary warp threads
22, which further go through the gaps among gliders of the reed
51, which is positioned on a batten
5 into a binding point
23, where they become a part of a fabric
200. The bar
41 with the openings
411 is positioned vertically convertibly, which is in Fig. 1 shown as a double arrow
II and coupled with a drive using means situated below the weaving level, which is composed
of the horizontal plane fitted through the binding point
23. The bar
41 with the openings
411 can be replaced for instance by a heald shaft with healds.
[0013] Rotating warp threads system
21 is from the point of splitting from the stationary warp threads system
22 led through a guide member
6 into a rotating warp threads
21 guide means
7, which consists of a needle bar
7, in which are mounted needles
72 with eyes
721, in which are led rotating warp threads
21. The needle bar
71 is on the frame of the weaving machine mounted using leaf springs
711 convertibly in a horizontal position in the direction of the double arrow
III and is coupled with electronic cam formed by a synchronous electromotor
73 with a governor. The drive of the needle bar
71 is composed of a separate motor, which is with the drive of the stationary warp threads
22 guiding device
4 coupled only with an electronic connection. From the needles
72 eyes
721 are the rotating warp threads
21 led through the gaps among gliders of the reed
51 into the binding point
23, where they become a part of the fabric
200. The needle bar
71 together with the means using which it is on the machine frame mounted are situated
over the weaving level as well as the guide member
6, which is in the shown embodiment pivoted in the machine frame. Rotatable stationary
mounting of the guide member
6 is advantageous in particular for gentle leading of rotating warp threads
21, which is for instance necessary for production of glass fiber fabrics. Mounting
of the guide member
6 can be for stationary warp threads replaced for stationary mounting. Nevertheless
it is always a question of separate positioning of the guide member
6 in the machine frame independently on the warp threads
7 guiding means.
[0014] During weaving is by a reversible vertical motion of the stationary warp threads
guiding means
4 formed a shed, into which is in the shed position of all parts inserted a weft thread
8. Deflection of rotating warp threads
21 is provided by a horizontal reversible motion of the needle bar
71 with the needles
711, which is developed by the electronic cam represented by the synchronous electromotor
73 with a governor.
