Abstract

A device for selectively controlling oscillating transverse movement of a yarn in a loom features the integration of yarn selection mechanisms into sinkers that are connected to the loom and driven simultaneously. The yarn selection mechanisms are associated with controlled actuators for individually actuating one or more of the yarn selection mechanisms to selectively engage yarns for making specific patterns.
