ABSTRACT This weaving machine () includes a structure () able to support a plurality of warp threads () extending in a first direction, a heddles mechanism () capable of selectively moving at least some of the plurality of warp threads () to form first and second sheets () of warp threads, and at least one weft-thread feed spool (). The weaving machine () also includes at least one support shuttle () for the feed spool and an actuating device () able to control a movement of the shuttle () between the first and second sheets () of warp threads in at least one second direction transverse to the first direction, in both senses relative to the second direction, to continuously lay the weft thread () coming from the feed spool () between the sheets () and in the second direction.

Weaving machine and corresponding weaving method

A device is provided for depositing a treatment substance on the surface of a moving thread. The device comprises a tank configured to contain a liquid solution of the substance that is used to deposit the substance on the surface of the thread. The device also includes at least one nozzle having a nozzle inlet configured to receive said solution. The at least one nozzle is directed to spray the received solution towards the thread with a spray velocity in a form of jets, and the jets converge on the thread to adjust a thickness of the solution remaining on the thread by removing excess liquid entrained by the thread. The device further includes a pump that is coupled to the nozzle inlet and a treatment apparatus. The pump is configured to regulate the spray velocity according to a run speed of the thread.
