US Patent 5,293,906 (Suresh K. Amin, assigned to Quadrax Corporation, granted 15 March 1994) describes a circular loom and method for weaving fabric with ribbon-shaped weft, intended for fiber-reinforced plastic tapes. Warp sheds are formed by pneumatic air cylinders that a control system presets ahead of the rotating shuttles. Electrical brakes control warp and weft tension, a ring-shaped fabric-forming member produces tubular fabric, and the fabric is slit, pulled and wound on a take-up reel. The scan includes the USPTO web printout, the full specification, the claims and 12 sheets of drawings. These show mechanical assemblies, 5-harness and basket-weave pattern grids, control tables, a flowchart and a block diagram.
