can be effected in a known manner the guide roller see fig1 is dismantled as are the back rests 4 and the warp beam 2 the warp thread present has been cut open between reed and breast beam fig3 shows a second dismantling stage the heald frame stack 6 is disconnected from the linkage system 7 the warp beams are lifted up by jacks 17 and are arranged so that they can be removed from the warp thread bobbins each warp thread bobbin is connected to a strap 18 arranged in an allocated eye on a lifting apparatus see below tongues on the warp beams are mounted to facilitate the drawing out of each beam from respective bobbins the superstructure 8 and the linkage system 7 as well as the breast beam and cloth beam systems retain their positions in the weaving machine framework the lifting apparatus is driven to the side in the direction of the arrow p and onwards to the separate station as specified below after all the bobbins have been suspended on straps 18 fig4 shows the drawing out of the beams 16 from the bobbins b which during the drawing out can be mounted in boards or equivalent apparatuses after which the straps are applied to the bobbins in order to allow them to be lifted by the lifting apparatus fig5 shows the separate warp thread charging equipment for drawing in warp thread in which the bobbins the heald frames and reed have been placed in positions corresponding to those they assume in the weaving machine the.
