Modification in Jacquard looms for extra weft insertion

Conventionally, the task of the insertion of weft threads to make a variety of designs is done manually by tying knots. It is tedious, cumbersome and time consuming.  The thread is also wasted in the connection between one motif and another. Deepak Bharali of Assam came up with a device consisting of three components; base frame, magnet-bearing shaft and specially designed bobbin. These components can be fitted to any handloom Jacquard machine. The innovation reduces the time required for making designs to one third of what is required in the traditional way of doing it. The product appeared in the market in the year 2007.
