Abstract
For the production of a tubular woven fabric having a floats-including weave, by using a circular loom, at least two shuttles are moved through sheds formed by warp threads. The warp threads are guided through thread eyes of thread guiding organs and are lifted and lowered by the thread guiding organs to form the shed. In order to be able to produce tubular woven fabrics of different types of floats-including weaves, free warp threads, i.e., warp threads that are loosely guided through between thread guiding organs carrying neighboring warp threads, additionally run between warp threads guided by the thread guiding organs. These loose warp threads cross the opened shed approximately in the middle thereof and are lifted by a guide means arranged on at least one shuttle and, as the method proceeds, are lowered by a guide means arranged on at least one shuttle.
