Australian patent specification no. 440745 for an improved shuttleless loom with two weft carriers driven by flexible tapes. Guides for the tapes sit wholly outside the shed, while a low-friction track along the reed supports the carriers and tapes. This avoids guide hooks inside the shed that snag warp yarns, reducing warp breakage and allowing higher loom speed. It includes the description, five claims and a drawing sheet showing a perspective view and a section.
