Most of compaies manufacturing or selling woolen textiles are very interested in planning newmerchandise.They usually make samples of the newly planned textiles. In order to prepare many textile samples, it is often requested to change warp density (i. e., the number of warp ends per unit width of a textile) among every samples.
Our development provides a variable dents' interval reed which can change the dents' interval in the range of 7.1 dents/25.4mm to 8.3 dents/25.4mm, so as to easily achieve various warp density. The improved reed comprises a pair of slit plates having multiple slits and dents inserted to the slits. The slits are formed in each slit plate to be radially arranged. Each dent is slidable along the corresponding slit. Accordingly, the sliding of the dents causes the dents' interval to be changed.
Furthermore, the improved reed enables to produce a new-type textile in which the warp density is continuously changeable along the width there of. In fact, it was successful to produce such a textile sample using the improved reed.
According to improved reed, many textile samples are easily and rapidly produced.
