A shuttleless loom for weaving a fabric comprises a weft inserting device for inserting a pair of successive loops of weft yarns simultaneously through respective superimposed warp sheds from one side thereof, and a selvedge-forming device arranged along the other side of the warp sheds for forming a knitting selvedge at one edge of the fabric being woven. The weft inserting device reciprocates along a first arcuate path in a first plane extending substantially parallel to the fabric. The selvedge-forming device reciprocates along a second arcuate path in a second plane extending substantially perpendicularly to the first plane so as to pass through a single loop of one of the weft yarns and catch the other weft yarn projecting out of the warp sheds.

Shuttleless loom

A slide fastener stringer comprising a woven coupling element having a plurality of first and second connecting portions interconnecting a plurality of laterally spaced scoops of the element. Each of the first connecting portions extends between adjacent two of first legs of the scoops which is disposed at one side of a tape while each of the second connecting portions extends between adjacent two of the second legs of scoops disposed at the other side of the tape, the first connecting portions being staggered relative to the second connecting portions.
