Patent ID: 7011116

Claim:
Terry weaving method for producing a terry fabric with variable loop height ( 12 a ) in the terry fabric ( 12 ), wherein a loom shed ( 15 ) consisting of ground warp threads ( 13 ) and pile warp threads ( 14 ) is formed in a first work step, wherein weft threads ( 16 ) are inserted into the loom shed ( 15 ) in a second work step, wherein each inserted weft thread ( 16 ) is partially beat-up and the weft threads ( 16 ) thereby form a weft thread group ( 16 a ) in a third work step, which weft thread group takes up a pre-beat-up distance (VD) relative to the beat-up edge ( 12 b ) of the terry fabric ( 12 ), and wherein the reed ( 11 ), while carrying out a basic stroke (H), beats up the weft thread group ( 16 a ) against the beat-up edge ( 12 b ) of the terry fabric ( 12 ) while forming pile loops ( 12 a ) with the pile warp threads ( 14 ) in a fourth work step, characterized in that, before the forming of the weft thread group ( 16 a ) the reed support shaft ( 4 ) is displaced by at least a rotational angle amount in the direction of the loom shed ( 15 ) forming means ( 17 ) in such a manner so that the basic stroke (H) of the reed ( 11 ) remains maintained in the forming of the weft thread group ( 16 a ), and in that, after the forming of the weft thread group ( 16 a ), the displacement of the reed support shaft ( 4 ) is reversed or undone by this rotational angle amount.
