AN AIR JET LOOM AND WEFT INSERTING METHOD AND APPARATUS

摘要

A weft inserting method and apparatus for an air jet loom. A weft (W) is inserted into a warp shed by being ejected, together with compressed air, from an ejection nozzle (3) of the weft inserting apparatus. When the weft (W) passes through a weft guide passage (12) in the ejection nozzle (3), it is adapted to deviate from the center or axis of at least a portion of the weft guide passage (12) since an air discharge hole (24) is provided in the ejection nozzle so as to open into said portion of the weft guide passage (12).
