Abstract
Abstract The terry weaving machine is provided with a deflecting mechanism for guiding the edge warp yarns therethrough to retain the tucked-in end of a weft yarn in tong-like fashion. The deflecting mechanism may be in the form of a plate with a single slot or may be defined by a pair of adjustable jaws so that the slot can be sized depending upon the size and type of yarns being woven.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
91 words
A terry weaving machine comprising a reed for beating-up a weft yarn disposed within a shed of warp yarns at a beating-up station into a woven cloth; a movable temple downstream of said reed for guiding the cloth from said beating-up station; a movable breast beam downstream of said reed for guiding the cloth thereon; and a stationary deflecting mechanism between said reed and said temple for narrowing the shed on opposite sides at least on one edge thereof to maintain a tucked-in end of a weft yarn in the shed.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
91 words
A terry weaving machine comprising a reed for beating-up a weft yarn disposed within a shed of warp yarns at a beating-up station into a woven cloth; a movable temple downstream of said reed for guiding the cloth from said beating-up station; a movable breast beam downstream of said reed for guiding the cloth thereon; and a stationary deflecting mechanism between said reed and said temple for narrowing the shed on opposite sides at least on one edge thereof to maintain a tucked-in end of a weft yarn in the shed.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
35 words
A terry weaving machine as set forth in claim 1 wherein said deflecting mechanism includes a guide plate having a slot for guiding at least two warp yarns therethrough at said edge of the shed.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
37 words
A terry weaving machine as set forth in claim 1 wherein said deflecting mechanism includes a pair of adjustable jaws defining a slot for guiding at least two warp yarns therethrough at said edge of the shed.
