Japanese Patent JP2003533603
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A carpet weaving loom including at least one tuft forming unit (1) for forming sequentially yarn tufts (7) of a number of different colours, means to receive and hold at yarn tuft holding sites (8) yarn tufts supplied sequentially by the tuft forming unit (1), and transfer means (10) to transfer all of the tufts (7) held by the yarn tuft holding sites (8) simultaneously to their corresponding weaving points. The or each tuft forming unit supplies yarn tufts (7) to at least twenty yarn tuft holding sites (8) between successive operations of the transfer means (10). When only a single tuft forming unit (1) is provided it preferably supplies tufts to at least one hundred and sixty tuft holding sites (8). When a plurality of tuft forming units (1) are provided each preferably supplies tufts to between twenty and one hundred and twenty tuft holding sites (8). This configuration leads to a considerable reduction in the size of creel with consequent reduction in waste and time taken to thread-up such a loom.
