<p>A warp supplying apparatus comprising warp gripping means (31) for gripping a leading end portion (22a) of a warp thread (22), cutting means (27) for cutting the leading end portion (22a) of the warp thread (22) gripped by the warp gripping means (31), the cutting means (27) being provided above the warp gripping means (31), a suction nozzle (44) that is provided below the warp gripping means (31) and draws in a cut end portion (22b) of the warp thread (22) cut by the cutting means (27), a suction box (48) provided between the warp gripping means (31) and the suction nozzle (44) for drawing in and guiding the cut end portion (22b) to the suction nozzle (44), the suction box (48) being formed with a suction chamber (50) and a slit (49) through which the cut end portion (22b) is drawn in within the suction chamber (50) by suction, and warp conveying means (57) for conveying the cut end portion (22b) within the suction chamber (50) from the warp gripping means (31) to the suction nozzle (44). The suction box (48) has a rear wall (50a) opposed to the slit (49) and is formed with a pair of spaced side walls (48a, 48b) extending from the slit (49) toward the rear wall (50a) to form a guide passageway (R) for guiding the cut end portion (22b) to the rear wall (50a) of the suction box (48). <IMAGE></p> |
