SHUTTLE-LESS LOOM AND METHOD FOR HOLDING WEFT IN THE SAME

摘要

PURPOSE: Provided are a shuttle-less loom and a method for holding weft in the same to surely hold a weft at instantaneous timing just after the passage of the end portion of a woven fabric to minimize defects and weft loss due to the loosening of the weft. CONSTITUTION: A holding member for holding a weft(X) is attached to a beating member and a cam mechanism for stopping a rapier(R) at the end of a yarn-feeding other side tape guide on the side of the woven fabric is disposed in a three-dimensional crank mechanism. The weft(X) is held with the holding member in a rapier(R)-stopped state, and a pressure-releasing member(T1) releases a pressure from a grip lever(R3) in the rapier(R)-stopped state. Then, the beating member to which the holding member holding the weft is attached is swung to deliver the weft to a catching member.
