Abstract

A series-shed loom with a weaving rotor (1) and laying-in members (2) which lay the warp threads (3) into high points and low points on the weaving rotor (1) to form the sheds, while the weaving rotor combs through the sheds (6) so formed to beat-up against a beater bar (8) of a meanwhile inserted weft yarn (7). Warp threads (3a, 3b) are laid into gaps (11) in the combs, while the low points (5) of one warp thread (3) are formed in gaps (11) which are in line in the direction of rotation (9). The high points (4) for one warp thread (3a, 3b) are formed by fins (12) which are in line in the direction of rotation and which form longitudinal saddles (13a, 13b) extending in the direction of rotation (9) between a beater nose (14) and a holder nose (15). To facilitate an interference-free laying in of two warp threads (3a, 3b) in one gap (11), the fin adjoining them on their left is assigned to the left-hand warp thread, and the fin adjoining them on their right is assigned to the right-hand warp thread for possible high points (4).
