An apparatus for forming leno selvedges in weaving machines, comprising a stationary sun wheel and two diametrically arranged planet wheels connected therewith and rotatable about their own axis in an opposite direction to their direction of rotation about the axis of the sun wheel. The transmission ratio between the sun wheel and the planet wheels amounts to 2:1. There are provided bobbin holders for thread bobbins. Thread guide eyelets are arranged on the planet wheels eccentrically with respect to the axes of the planet wheels. These thread guide eyelets, when at their greatest spacing from one another, are situated in a plane extending through the central axis of the planet wheels. The bobbin holders are fixedly arranged on a part which supports the planet wheels.

Apparatus for forming leno selvedges in weaving machines

The present invention relates to an undulated shed-type loom for transporting shuttles filled with filling thread through sheds by means of electromagnetic fields acting on the shuttles and having means for beating up the filling threads introduced against the fell of the cloth, the beating-up of the filling threads taking place synchronously with the transportation of the shuttles over the width of the loom.
