Abstract

Method for repairing the thread supply in weaving machines in the event of an interruption between the weft thread supply package and the weft accumulator, with the characteristic that it consists essentially of: seizing an existing thread portion at a particular point of the thread supply on the weft accumulator drum; removing the portion of thread between this point and the point of the interruption; taking a new thread end from the same weft thread supply package or another and leading it to the old weft thread end; and joining the new end to the old end.
