YARN CARRIER FOR A WEAVING MACHINE

摘要

A yarn carrier for a weaving machine which has two arms including a yarn gripping portion which grips the yarn by means of contact between the two arms which are resiliently biased toward each other at the front of the yarn carrier in the flying direction. The yarn carrier also has a mechanism for releasing the depression of the two arms of the yarn gripping portion by a force applied from outside against the resiliency so as to freely pass the yarn through a gap made between the arms. Also, the yarn carrier has a guide groove formed in such a manner that width gradually decreases from the front to the rear of the feeding direction of the yarn carrier so as to feed the yarn to the yarn gripping portion and that the yarn gripping portion is formed in parallel with the flying direction of the yarn at the end portion at the inlet portion of the yarn to the yarn gripping portion of the yarn carrier.
