Abstract

A traverse mechanism for a cheese producing textile machine includes a traverse housing having a longitudinal slit formed therein, a drive drum rotatably disposed within the housing, two yarn guides respectively disposed to move along the slit adjacent one another, with one of the yarn guides having a shuttle element disposed within the housing in driven connection with the drum, and a compound sealing slit covering element extending between and connecting two adjacent yarn guides for coupling the two yarn guides to be moved in unison upon driving of the shuttle element by the drum, the compound sealing slit covering element thereby also covering the slit to prevent dust and debris from entering the housing.
