Weft thread stretching device for weaving machine, has input portion formed over distance close to U-shaped channel insertion, and blower provided near entrance of conduction element

摘要

The device has a tubular guide element fixed along a movement direction of a weft thread in a U-shaped insertion channel of a reed of a weaving machine. A tubular input portion is formed over a distance close to the U-shaped insertion channel, where the input portion narrows from an entrance of the tubular guide element to a right tubular guide section. A blower provided near the entrance of a conduction element blows air according to the movement direction of the weft thread. An independent claim is also included for a method for stretching a weft thread in a U-shaped channel insertion of a reed of a weaving machine.
