A weaving machine includes a shed forming device, a weft insertion device, and a weaving reed that beats up the weft threads at a beat up plane against an edge of the woven fabric. A guide device extends over a width of the woven fabric and is driven by a drive, the guide device being one or both of an upper guide unit that contacts a top surface of the woven fabric or a lower guide unit that contacts a bottom surface of the woven fabric. One or both of the upper and lower guide units are positionable in a direction of thickness of the woven fabric to contact and guide the woven fabric in an area of the beat up plane. The guide section of one or both of the upper and lower guide units has a profiled shape in a weft direction to guide the woven fabric at different thicknesses in the weft direction.

Loom and method for guiding a woven fabric in a loom

A weaving machine includes a shed forming device, a weft insertion device, and a weaving reed that beats up the weft threads at a beat up plane against an edge of the woven fabric. A guide device extends over a width of the woven fabric and is driven by a drive, the guide device being one or both of an upper guide unit that contacts a top surface of the woven fabric or a lower guide unit that contacts a bottom surface of the woven fabric. A control unit controls alternating movement of the guide unit along the direction of thickness of the woven fabric as the fabric is being woven based on information related to one or both of a structure of the woven fabric in the area of the beat up plane or a position of the warp threads in the open loom shed.

Apparatus for the intermediate storage of two band-like weft materials () for a weaving machine (), with two storage containers () in which respectively a U-shaped loop () of a weft material () can be formed. Machine elements () for the application of tensile forces () onto the weft material () in the inner space () of the respective storage container () are present. The inner spaces () of the two storage containers () respectively orient one of their two narrow sides () toward one another. Deflection elements () are respectively arranged on the storage container () in such a manner so that the respective weft material () can be supplied to the inner space () in a region () that lies closer to that one of the two narrow sides () of this inner space (), which is not oriented toward the inner space () of the respective other storage container ().

Device for the intermediate storage of band-like weft material for a weaving machine and weaving machine having such a device

A weaving machine for producing a woven fabric has a shedding device to form a loom shed of warp material, a weft insertion device for inserting a preferably tape-shaped or band-shaped weft material into the loom shed, a drawing-off device for drawing off the finished fabric in a drawing-off direction, fabric movement device for moving the fabric back and forth in the warp direction to bring the last inserted weft material into contact with the binding point or fabric edge. A shed limiter device limits the opening of the loom shed from above and below the warp, and is movable back and forth in the warp direction. The shed limiter device only loosely bounds the fabric and essentially without actively clamping or pinching or contacting the fabric and/or the last inserted weft material, at least while moving in the direction opposite the drawing-off direction.
