Program automaton for weaving machines

Claim 1

A program automaton for a weaving machine having a transducer coupled to a crankshaft therein, a block for weft programming coupled to said transducer, a block for subroutines coupled in a feedback loop with said block for weft programming, a block of selective electromagnets coupled to said block for weft programming for alternatively selecting a color band, a block for weave programming also coupled to said transducer, an electronic keys block coupled to said block for weave programming, a control block coupled to both said transducer and said electronic keys block for controlling weaving electromagnets, and a block for deweaving of complex programs incorporated in said blocks for weft programming and subroutines, characterized in that said block for deweaving at complex programs comprises: means for indicating the reversal of said weaving machine; a first AND-gate coupled to said indicating means; a counter-switch having an addition and subtraction input, the output of said first AND-gate being coupled to said subtraction input; a high-frequency pulse generator; a second AND-gate coupled to the output of said high-frequency pulse generator and also to said first AND-gate; and counter means also having an addition and a subtraction input, said second AND-gate being coupled through an OR-gate to said subtraction input, said transducer also being coupled to said OR-gate, said counter means having outputs coupled to said first AND-gate.
