Abstract

A textile material for supplying parallel threads to a machine for manufacturing two-dimensional textile fabrics. The material is loosely woven and has a low number of withdrawable weft loops 3 per unit length. Immediately prior to entering an end-product machine weft thread 2 is withdrawn to the side, so that the remaining group 1 of threads enters the machine. The material passes over braked rollers 31,32 and a bar 35. Retainer stitches 7 are unravelled and the weft thread 2 is passed through a guide 55 onto a transport device 57.
