Abstract

A fabric take-up system for a weaving loom includes a driven take-up roll and a pressure roll forming a nip with the take-up roll, wherein the take-up roll at least is movable transversely of its axis so that tensioned fabric received from the loom breast beam, wrapped around the take-up roll, through the nip and around the pressure roll urges the take-up roll towards the pressure roll. Devices for releasing the rolls to open the nip are described, including a support system for preventing deflection of the pressure roll over its length.
