Claim:
Loom for producing a fabric which has both plain weaves ( 16 ) comprising weft threads ( 34 ) and warp threads ( 1 L , 2 L ) and leno weaves ( 15 ) comprising weft threads ( 34 ) and warp threads ( 1 D , 2 D ), the loom comprising: a slay ( 6 ) which includes a slay shaft and which carries a weaving reed ( 5 ) and which carries out an oscillating pivoting movement about a longitudinal center axis ( 28 a ) of the slay shaft ( 28 ), a first blade and needle shaft ( 3 ) which is connected to a drive ( 41 ) which brings about an oscillating back and forth linear movement of the first blade and needle shaft ( 3 ) transversely relative to a weaving plane ( 35 ) and a second blade and needle shaft ( 4 ) which is adjacent to the first blade and needle shaft ( 3 ) and which is connected in a rotationally secure manner by connection means ( 37 ) to a remote shaft ( 36 ) which is arranged remote from the slay shaft ( 28 ) and which carries out an oscillating forward and backward rotational movement about a center axis ( 36 a ) of the remote shaft, characterized in that, in order to produce the leno weaves ( 15 ), a needle blade ( 11 ) having a thread guiding eyelet ( 11 a ) is connected respectively in each case between two rod blades ( 10 ) which are arrested at an upper shaft connection ( 30 ) and a lower shaft connection ( 29 ) of the first and second blade and needle shaft ( 3 ; 4 ), and, in order to form the plain weaves ( 16 ), a plurality of rod blades ( 10 ) are arranged beside each other in the first blade and needle shaft ( 3 ), with which rod blades ( 10 ) there is associated a shoulder blade ( 12 ), having a shoulder ( 13 a , 14 a ) which is arranged at one side or at both sides for supporting at least one of the warp threads ( 1 L , 2 L ) of the plain weaves, in the second blade and needle shaft ( 4 ) of either each even-numbered or each odd-numbered one of the rod blades ( 10 ) of the first blade and needle shaft ( 3 ).
