Abstract
A method and device involve simultaneously inserting weft/binding yarns and beating them up, in textile manufacturing processes like 3D-weaving and uniaxial noobing. A yarn carrier is equipped with a beating-up reed dent. In the carrier, which includes a cartridge-like yarn supplying device, the yarn is arranged around two axes of rotation and it is enclosed in a case. It is particularly suitable for 3D textile-forming processes like 3D-weaving and uniaxial noobing because of its relatively low-height but high-width and hence the possibility of carrying relatively large amount of yarn. The yarn is contained on a flanged belt that can be driven either from within or from the outside. Such a cartridge-like yarn supplier is equipped with tips that are offset or displaced oppositely about the central axis. Such a displaced arrangement of the tips directs the carriers to lay yarn in two different paths, relative to a layer of warp/axial yarns, while traversing back and forth in the same linear path. Through such a method the 3D-weaving and uniaxial noobing processes can be made efficient.
