ABSTRACT:
A circular loom includes an endless raceway assembly and a shuttle sliding along the raceway assembly. The raceway assembly includes an upper ring plate, a lower ring plate, and a rod mechanism interposed between the upper and lower ring plates. The rod mechanism includes a row of outer guide rod units interconnecting the upper and lower ring plates, and a row of inner guide rod units aligned respectively and radially with the outer guide rod units so as to define a confining space therebetween. Each of the inner guide rod units includes an upper inner rod section secured to the upper ring plate, and a lower inner rod section secured to the lower ring plate so as to define an accommodating space between the upper and lower inner rod sections. The shuttle includes a shuttle body, a horizontal guide plate extending outwardly from the shuttle body through the accommodating spaces of the inner guide rod units, a vertical guide plate secured to a radial outer end of the horizontal guide plate, and two sliding bodies connected respectively to upper and lower portions of the vertical guide plate. The sliding body has two vertical side walls slidable respectively on the inner and outer guide rod units. The upper ring plate has a removable portion which allows the shuttle to be put into the confining spaces.
