Abstract
A Jacquard machine for weaving face-to-face fabrics consisting of a bottom fabric and a top fabric between which pile threads are stretched, incorporating two systems, one for each fabric. For each pile thread, the machine incorporates a selection element with hooks under the action of knives, a cord which is connected to one of the hooks, a lifting device, and a grate which is driven together with one of the knives. The invention enables pile warp threads to be taken into more than three different positions with the aid of a single selection element, thereby reducing the cost and size of the Jacquard machine.
