In front of the remis body, all the wires pass through the comb (E), organ
mechanism made of very thin and polished steel blades (teeth), whose role is to
distribute the yarn threads within the fabric's execution width and also of
tighten the frame; the comb is supported by the leaf.
There are a multitude of possible combinations for crossing the wires of
chain and frame, but the three basic armors are:
the canvas or solid armor;
the serge fabric that produces a diagonal line effect;
the satin finish that gives a smoother and shinier surface.
All types of fabric stem from these three basic weaves, and the fabric
The "jacquard" combines several types of weave within the same fabric. By using
colored threads, the jacquard weave allows for very complex patterns and even the
image reproduction.

A steel projectile, with a clamp, approximately 10 cm long and having a mass of


40 g, insert the weft thread into the crowd. This type of machine achieves
performances that place it at the top of weaving machines. Indeed, this machine
allows inserting a frame at a speed of 1400 m/min over 4 m wide.

The mechanics of armored "cam and ratchet" is a


programmer that corresponds to the brain of the weaving machine. Its purpose is
to convert circular motion into reciprocating motion.

It is a mechanical assembly that, through a pull, allows


to obtain a movement of the slat frames and, by that, the opening of 'the crowd'
or "not". This mechanism is placed on one side of the machine (to the right or
to the left), on a superstructure, on a chair (at mid-height), or on the ground.

The purpose of the trap and the cam box, being the formation of the crowd, is at the
level of the executives that we will be able to explain the principles of operation.
To differentiate them, it is thus appropriate to compare the work of
frames in relation to the evolution of the weaving machine.

Jacquard mechanical machines


A French mechanic, Jacquard, at the beginning of the 19th centuryemecentury has put to
an independent mechanism that, added to the loom, allows for
individually order the chain links.

The Jacquard mechanism allows for the creation of an unlimited number of weaves.

of grooves to hold the hooks. Each hook is controlled by a
needle resting on one side in a needle board. A cylinder holds cards,
