Patent ID: 6957671

Claim:
Apparatus for producing a leno fabric, comprising a plurality of juxtaposed needles each fitted with one needle guide eye for a warp and furthermore a plurality of juxtaposed moveable guide eyes defined by a warp moving device drivable so as to be displaced periodically relative to the stationary needles in the longitudinal needle direction and transversely thereof, and guides arranged to cooperate with and to guide the warp moving device during longitudinal displacements of the warp moving device occurring along the longitudinal direction of the needles and during transverse displacements of the warp moving device occurring transversely of the needles, said warps extendable through the movable guide eyes being displaced below and along either side of the stationary needles by the relative motion of the warp moving device; said guides constraining movement of the warn moving device along the warp direction.
