Abstract
In the combination of a carriage for the preparation and storage of fabric to be changed on a loom, a loom for receiving the fabric to be changed, and an insertion vehicle for changing the fabric at the loom, improvements in the method of fabric change as well as the associated carriage and insertion vehicle are set forth. The method allows the carriage for the preparation and storage of fabric to be changed to have the working distance between the warp stop motion and the loom to be adjusted dependent upon shed size, density of fabric and warp material. The carriage for the preparation and storage of fabric includes a warp clamp and adjustment for spacing the warp stop motion with respect to the loom harness and heald frames. The insertion vehicle includes a centering mechanism for placing the loom harness and heald frames to the loom.
