A woven fabric in which warp elements are provided out of metal. The fabric further comprising at least a first set of substantially parallel binding elements present in warp direction of the fabric. This first set of binding elements bind the warp elements to the weft elements by means of a leon weave at at least a part of the intersection points of warp and weft elements. The fabric as subject of the invention is characterized in that each binding element of the first set of binding elements crosses more than one warp element between consecutive intersection points bound by this binding element.

A fabric comprising elongated steel elements is provided. This fabric is to be used to provide cut-resistance or reinforcement for protective textiles. Elongated steel elements are in contact relationship, so improving the resistance to knife cutting actions.

Cut resistant fabric for protective textiles

A shed-forming device, in particular an electronically controlled jacquard machine, with a number of combinations of at least two selection systems ( ), ( ) respectively with selection elements provided one above the other. Each selection system comprises two hooks ( ), ( ), ( ), ( ) working together and that can be moved up and down by lifting device ( ), ( ) which can be selected by a selection element ( ), ( ). Hooks of different selection systems of a combination can be moved up and down, allowing for the use of simple selection elements. Two selection systems are provided per combination. This enables the number of selection systems with similar machine dimensions to be almost doubled in relation to the known devices. The hooks of selection systems of a same combination are movable by one and the same pair of lifting device ( ), ( ) and each lifting device ( ), ( ) has at least two parts for being able to engage respective hooks, well separated from one another, of different selection systems of the same combination.
