ABSTRACT:
A hand loom of improved and simplified construction in which the course of travel of the warp threads during the weaving operation is similar to conventional looms. However, the loom of the present invention is provided with a beater which is mounted for horizontal reciprocation so that the beater is maintained parallel and square with the warp threads at all times during such reciprocal movement. The beater is mounted directly adjacent the front harness at a point proximate the greatest opening of the shed.
The present loom also has a plurality of harnesses of novel construction, with each of the harnesses being actuated by its own individual lifting means. Thus, a lifting lever, having an elongated arm and an upstanding leg, is positioned beneath each harness and is adapted to raise a selected harness when the outer end of the lever arm is depressed by the operator. Each harness is provided with upper and lower horizontally disposed heddle bars which extend through slots formed in the side rails of the harness and are slidably received in vertical channels in the walls of the castle to guide the harnesses during vertical movement. The loom is constructed so that the number of harnesses in the loom may be varied from two up to sixteen.
The loom may also be provided with means for simultaneously raising alternating harnesses.
