US Patent 3,871,413, granted 18 March 1975 to Soichi Torii of Kyoto, assigned to Torii Winding Machine Co., describes a shuttle arrangement for a circular loom that weaves tubular plain-weave fabric from tape yarn. Several horizontal shuttles are supported by inner guide rings and an outer shuttle race, and are pushed around the circle by powered rollers on a cam disc that also operates the heald frames. The shuttle has a weft placing ring and a tension-regulating device, so the weft is unwound sideways from the package and the tape is not twisted. The document has the abstract, eight sheets of drawings (13 figures), the specification and claims, and a certificate of correction.
