Patent ID: 11932974

Abstract:
In order to produce a plurality of fabric strips (22) from a fabric (20) during the manufacturing process thereof, a method is proposed which utilizes the steps of: inserting weft threads (24) into the open warp thread shed, laying of a plurality of cover threads (30, 34) in a zigzag shape by a plurality of feed needles (32, 36), cutting the fabric (20) in the drawing-off direction into a plurality of woven strips (22), and pulling off the warp threads (60) that are located between the cutting-side laying points of the cover threads and the cutting device. This method can be implemented in a particularly advantageous manner if, in addition to the cover thread (30, 34) introduced in zigzag manner, a further cover thread (70) is introduced at each fabric edge (26) by a further feed needle in such manner that it is connected to the zigzag thread whereby the zigzag thread is prevented from fraying.
