Compressed air distributor block arrangement in an air jet loom weft insertion device

摘要

A weft thread insertion device for an air jet loom includes a nozzle block mounted on a sley to be movable together therewith. The movable block has a plurality of individual nozzles. Devices supply compressed air to the nozzle block by way of one or more stationary distributor blocks. At least one outlet is associated with the distributor block. Compressed air is supplied through respective flexible pressure lines from the respective outlets to respective inlets of the individual nozzles of the nozzle block. In order to supply air using short pressure lines that do not intersect, the invention provides that the distributor block or blocks so arranged that they at least partially surround nozzle block regardless of the position of the reed.
