Patent ID: 6910508

Claim:
A method for weaving double layer cloth formed by first and second fabric layers on a weaving machine having a weaving sley acting on the cloth at a beat-up edge, a temple arrangement immediately following the beat-up edge past which the cloth is transported towards a cloth take-up beam, a deflection roller over which the cloth is transported, and a drive roller for moving the cloth from the beat-up edge towards the cloth beam, the method comprising forming the temple arrangement so that it has first and second, spaced-apart, stationary temple surfaces defining a gap between them, extending the cloth through the gap, guiding the cloth about the deflection roller and contacting the first fabric layer with a surface of the deflection roller, guiding the cloth about the drive roller and contacting the second fabric layer with a surface of the drive roller, setting the gap between the stationary surfaces so that the stationary surfaces apply a force against the cloth and generate frictional forces between the first and second fabric layers and the respective stationary temple surfaces, and biasing the deflection roller against the drive roller so that respective surfaces of the deflection roller and the drive roller frictionally engage the first and second fabric layers, respectively, and generate substantially symmetrical transport, forces in the first and second fabric layers for overcoming the frictional forces and moving the cloth towards the cloth beam.
