| (54) | Pile fabric loom having pile warp tension adjuster |
| (57) A pile fabric loom includes a frame, a pile warp beam, a terry motion roller and
a pile warp tension adjuster. The pile warp beam is supported by the frame. The terry
motion roller serves to guide pile warp yarns let off from the pile warp beam toward
cloth fell. The pile warp tension adjuster is operable to adjust tension of the pile
warp yarns. The pile warp tension adjuster has a leaf spring that is located along
a path of the pile warp yarns extending from the pile warp beam to the terry motion
roller. The leaf spring extends in longitudinal direction of the loom and a first
end and a second end. The first end is fixed to the frame. The surface of the second
end is in contact with the pile warp yarns. The leaf spring is elastically deformable
by the tension of the pile warp yarns.
