Abstract

An adjustable knot-disalignment device for use in a loom in which weaving is effected by passing a shuttle containing a cop around which a weft yarn is wound between upper and lower warp yarns. The adjusting device includes a disk-shaped reel provided with a circumferential channel for accommodating a wound thread thereon, a thread holding device projecting outward of the circumferential channel of the reel for holding threads and a hooking device for hooking the threads held by the holding device and rotating the threads, thereby winding the threads onto the circumferential channel of the reel. By controlling the number of times the thread is wound around the disc-shaped reel, the knots which connect the threads from two different cops may be made to be disaligned in the woven fabric.
