Biased yarn feeding apparatus for three-dimensional weaving machine

摘要

A three-dimensional weaving machine that enables biased yarn blocks to be miniaturized and their movement to be simplified and that reliably feeds biased yarns comprises 2N guide blocks 13, each including a biased yarn through-hole 15 along the length direction, a guide block receiving and supporting means 18 forming guide block arrangement spaces S1, S2 and S3 in a bottom, a middle, and a top stages wherein N of the N2 guide blocks can be arranged in each stage parallel with and adjacent to one another, a guide block moving means 22 for moving the guide blocks in each stage in opposite directions along the respective stages, and a shifting means 44 for shifting together two adjacent stages of guide blocks movably arranged in the respective guide block arrangement spaces, each by one stage.
