Abstract
A fabric spreader arrangement for a loom includes a spreader rod rotatably received in a hollow space of a spreader body. The fabric is looped around the spreader rod in the hollow space. To achieve a low wear, a light weight, and an excellent fabric spreading effect, the spreader rod is a one-piece hollow cylindrical metal body extending entirely over the weaving width, preferably made of V4A stainless steel, having an outer diameter of at least 10 mm (and preferably 15 mm) with a wall thickness of at least 0.4 mm (and preferably 0.7 mm), and having an outer circumferential surface that has been surface treated to achieve a surface roughness with a peak-to-valley roughness measurement of at least 10 μm (and preferably 20 to 50 μm).
