Abstract
Compared with the method for performing tuck-in operation at each weaving cycle, the method of the present invention makes it possible to increase the number of revolutions of the loom at high speed, to decrease the number of maintenance operations needed for the tuck-in device and to decrease power consumption. Moreover, compared with the method for performing collective tuck-in operation by bringing all wefts inserted into each repeat together, it is possible to improve external appearance of the selvedge of the pile fabric. According to the tuck-in selvedge setting method in a tuck-in device of a shuttleless loom for towel of the present invention, when a pile fabric is woven, tuck-in operations for ends of a plurality of wefts inserted into one repeat for forming a pile fabric are performed by a plurality of times. And in at least one tuck-in operation among these tuck-in operations, ends of a plurality of wefts are collectively brought together, and the last tuck-in operation is carried out in the weaving cycle of a first weft in the next repeat for forming the pile fabric.
