Reed and weaving machine for weaving pattern formation in woven fabrics with additional pattern effects
First Claim
1. Reed (4) for a weaving machine with reed blades (5), that are aligned in a row in a longitudinal direction of the reed (4) by combination of their lower ends in a reed band (6) in such a manner that the upper ends of the reed blades (5) form one-sided upwardly open reed gaps (8), characterized in that several groups of reed blades (5) are present, whereby each reed blade (5) of a first group has on its upper end an insertion bevel (7) that faces in the longitudinal direction of the reed (4), and that is configured in such a manner that it at least partially covers the upwardly facing opening of a neighboring reed gap (8), and in that a second group of reed blades (5) which comprise no such insertion bevels (7) is present.

Abstract
For producing woven fabrics with additional pattern effects, one or more effect threads are supplied substantially in the warp direction and are moved over neighboring warp threads in the weft direction, above a weft thread that is to be inserted, in various motion cycles of a weaving machine. Subsequently the effect threads are positioned below a subsequent weft thread, by submerging the effect threads into upwardly open reed gaps of a reed. To facilitate this, the reed includes first reed blades which, at their upper end, each include a sloping thread guide element projecting in the longitudinal direction of the reed, so as to at least partially extend over the upwardly facing opening of a neighboring reed gap. The reed further includes second reed blades having no such sloping thread guide elements. The guide elements guide the effect threads down into the proper reed gaps.

3. A weaving reed for a weaving machine, comprising:
-
a reed base extending in a longitudinal direction, and plural reed blades that comprise reed blade bodies respectively having first ends secured to said reed base and opposite second ends protruding away from said reed base in a blade direction; wherein; said reed blade bodies are arranged in a row and successively spaced from one another with respective successive reed gaps formed therebetween in said longitudinal direction along said reed base, said reed gaps are open at gap openings at said second ends of said reed blade bodies, said reed blades include first reed blades and second reed blades, said first reed blades further comprise thread guide elements that project in said longitudinal direction away from said second ends of said reed blade bodies of said first reed blades so as to at least partially extend over said gap openings of said reed gaps adjacent on at least one side of said first reed blades, and said second reed blades do not include such said thread guide elements. - View Dependent Claims (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A weaving reed comprising:
-
a reed base, reed blades that are connected at bottom ends thereof to said reed base, and that protrude upwardly from said reed base, and that are spaced apart from one another with reed gaps therebetween along said reed base, and thread guide elements provided at upper ends of only some of said reed blades, wherein each said thread guide element respectively includes a thread guide surface extending obliquely upwardly and laterally over a respective said reed gap adjacent to one side of a respective said reed blade on which said thread guide element is provided.
