Abstract
A selvage-forming device (1) for a loom includes yarn guide structures (2, 3, 5) to guide at least two selvage yarns (8, 11) that are alternating raised and lowered to form a selvage shed (12). These yarn guide structures are powered through the intermediary of eccentrics driven by their own independently controlled drive (13) and an eccentric drive coupling-bracket (16) that creates a motion by which one selvage yarn (8) is additionally shifted transversely to form mutually crossing interlacings.
