LeClerc Nilus II
The
Nilus II (4 shafts) available in three versions, folds to
a depth of 27½" (70 cm).The Nilus II loom has been designed
with a stabilizer foot, for a better stability. The shed
is always good with any combination of tie-up.
The counter-balanced
version is built with an integrated shed regulator. So it
is possible to weave any kind of material.
On the jack-type
version, the top can be easily removed, allowing easy
access to the shafts for the addition or removal of
heddles. Heddles used are 12½" (31,7 cm) long. It
is a loom with independent shafts, guided into slides at
each end, preventing friction of shaft frameswhich are
pushed upwards by an underneath mechanism.
All Nilus II looms
have non-sliding polyvinyl foot padsat its base, keeping
it solid on the floor.
It is equipped with a
friction brake giving a perfect tension every time. The
front cloth beam ,front and back breast beams are
removable for easy threading, and the warp beam is also
removable for outside beaming when required.
All looms are
equipped with a regular plain beam to which a set of
rake-like pieces can be added to convert it into a
sectional warp beam.
Special kits have
been designed to convert the loom from one system to the
other. (counter-balance to jack-type or countermarch and
jack-type to counter-balance or countermarch). You can
convert the regular 4 shaft jack-type into an 8 shaft
jack-type loom with the 4 extra shafts kit but if you
plan to do so it is be better to buy our 4 shaft now - 4
more later model. This four now, four later model already
has the wide castle and castle top so you can buy our kit
of 4 shafts and 4 treadles when desired.

NEW!
NILUS II JACK-TYPE LOOM
WITH BACK HINGE TREADLES
As with all Loom designs there are some
tradeoffs. With the Jack Loom the problem most often cited was
the difficulty in getting a good shed with 6+ Shaft weave
construction. Our new design has overcome this problem. The new
design features the Treadles anchored at the rear of the Loom,
with a new unique, Rocker mechanism that insures even tension on
all Treadle Cords with the Treadles in both the rest or depressed
position. This new design provides the weaver with the ease of
Leg Treadling multi Shaft designs, comparable to that of a
4 shaft. In addition, we experience a wide, clean shed on all
Shafts. Using a new procedure, the new Treadle design retains the
folding feature designed into the original Nilus II. We, at
Leclerc, are very excited about this new Jack Loom Treadling
concept. This system is also available in the Nilus and Artisat
loom.
