DEVICE FOR TUCKING-IN THE WEFT ENDS IN A LOOM

摘要

A blower nozzle is provided on the shot or weft insertion side of the weaving machine for blowing the severed end of the weft thread into an eyelet of a selvedge-tucking needle. By transferring the weft thread end by means of the blower nozzle, a particularly short time within the operating cycle of the weaving machine is required for the procedure of transferring the weft thread end to the selvedge-tucking needle. This permits higher operating speeds of the weaving machine.
