| (54) | Tension detection apparatus for loom |
| (57) A tension detection apparatus for a loom includes a tension detection roller (1)
that extends in a weaving-width direction between a pair of loom frames (F) and around
which warp yarns (T) or a woven cloth is wound, a tension detection lever (3) provided
on at least one of the loom frames (F) and connected to an end portion of the tension
detection roller (1) so as to support the end portion, and a tension detector (5)
connected to the tension detection lever (3). The tension detection lever (3) includes
a base portion (3a) and an arm portion (3c). The base portion (3a) is rotatably supported
on the at least one of the loom frames (F) by means of a first shaft (7) that is parallel
to the tension detection roller (1). The arm portion (3c) extends from the base portion
(3a) and supports a second shaft (9) that supports the tension detection roller (1).
The second shaft (9) extends in the weaving-width direction and is supported by the
at least one of the loom frames (F), on which the tension detection lever (3) is supported,
at a position different in the weaving-width direction from a position at which the
second shaft (9) is supported by the tension detection lever (3).
