Balanced treadle loom

以踏板替代手来控制综片提升为特征的素织机,它是织机发展史上的一次质的飞跃。

旧时浙江乡村常见的一种素织物机型,多用于织制绢类织物,故而得名,该机采用两块踏板通过互动式提综机构控制两片综,十分简明。此类织机在清代盛行一时。

The employment of foot treadles replaced the hands in operating the heddles for changing sheds in plain weave. This marked a major technological advance in the development of the loom.

Plain-weave Loom is typical of the traditional looms found in villages of Zhejiang province, and was very popular in the Qing dynasty. In this simple and elegant design, two treadles are used to operate the two heddles for alternating the sheds.
