Abstract

Abstract A weaving loom comprises a noise-absorbing cover (1) encasing the top side and, at least in part, the lateral sides of the shed-forming and weft-inserting devices and the reed. The noise-absorbing cover is equipped with control means (4) apt to shift said cover from a working position - wherein it is close to the warp yarns and to the fabric being woven - to a position granting access to the operator, wherein it is far from all the above-described fabric-weaving devices to allow the operator to have free access thereto. <IMAGE>

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim 128 words
Weaving loom of the type comprising devices for forming the shed among the warp yarns, devices for inserting the weft into the shed, and an oscillating reed for beating the new wefts against the fabric being woven, characterised in that it comprises a noise-absorbing cover encasing the top side and, at least in part, the lateral sides of said shed-forming and weft-inserting devices and the reed, and in that said cover is provided with control means apt to shift said cover from a working position - wherein it is close to the warp yarns and to the fabric being woven - to a position allowing access to the operator, wherein it is far from all the above-mentioned fabric-weaving devices to allow the operator to have free access thereto.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 53 words
Weaving loom as claimed in claim 1), wherein said control means consist of two fluidodynamic cylinder-piston assemblies 4 positioned at the two lateral ends of the noise-absorbing cover 1, the cylinder base and the piston top of each cylinder-piston assembly being fixed to the loom frame and to the noise-absorbing cover 1, respectively.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 23 words
Weaving loom as claimed in claim 2), wherein said pistons are fixed to the noise-absorbing cover in a barycentric position of the same.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 31 words
Weaving loom as claimed in claim 2), wherein driving said cylinder-piston assemblies into an operational or non-operational state is automatically controlled according to the stationary or running condition of the loom.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 27 words
Weaving loom as claimed in claim 1), wherein said noise-absorbing cover comprises an outer shell having a structural function, and an inner lining having a noise-absorbing function.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 31 words
Weaving loom as claimed in claim 4), wherein said outer shell consists of a composite sandwich panel formed by two outer light-alloy sheets, between which is inserted a noise-absorbing plastic core.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 22 words
Weaving loom as claimed in claim 5), wherein said light alloy is an aluminium alloy and said plastic material is black polyethylene.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 24 words
Weaving loom as claimed in claim 4), wherein said inner lining consists of foamed plastic plates having a thickness of at least 20 mm.
