Abstract
A weaving machine comprises an arrangement for adjusting or optimizing the consumption of warp thread. The weaving machine permits weaving of different widths for the woven material. First bobbins can be arranged next to one another, with synchronized rotation, on a warp beam (Vb) of the weaving machine in order to effect a warp thread supply which represents a minimum width for the woven material. Second bobbins can be arranged, individually from the point of view of rotation, in bobbin boards in order to effect a warp thread supply which represents widths between the minimum width and a maximum width for the woven material. The second bobbins are provided with, or can cooperate with, activatable and deactivatable brake members by which the number of second bobbins (2') corresponding to the set weaving width can be engaged for warp thread supply in the weaving machine.
