Multi-weft monitoring on shuttleless looms - has the weft separation rod ranging between colour selector eyelets

摘要

An appts. for the simultaneous monitoring of two weft yarns in a shuttleless loom, with colour selection, has the sepg. rod keeping the weft yarns apart mounted so that it is forced to separate the yarns immediately after they leave the colour selection unit. The system divides the available weft yarns into two groups, ensuring that the selected yarn is kept apart from any other, and fed positively past a monitor before being inserted into the shed as a weft.
