ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus utilizing an elongate, flexible member operatively attached to rods that move up and down, on a Jacquard loom. A latch control mechanism is provided for latching said elongate, flexible member in a fixed position by applying pressure thereto by vacuum or pressure. This latching of the rod in an upper position creates a shed whereby filling yarns can be passed through to create Jacquard fabric. The pressure can be applied against the elongate, flexible member by filling sealed elongate, elastomeric member with pressured gas. In addition, the pressure can be applied against the elongate, flexible member by activating a dimensionally alterable, electric element that presses against the elongate, flexible member.
