Weft processing apparatus in a jet loom.

摘要

The invention relates to a weft processing apparatus comprising a weft releasing device for releasing or detaching a leading end of a weft (Y2) from the peripheral surface of a weft cheese (10B), a fluid jetting device for moving the released weft leading end to a weft introducing port (20a) of a weft length-measuring and reserving apparatus (22), and a guide device (17) for guiding the weft leading end (Y2) and the jetted fluid stream. The weft releasing device is in the form of a blow nozzle device (18) or a suction pipe (13). In the former case, the blow nozzle device (18) serves also as the fluid jetting device. The suction pipe (13) has an intake port provided with a holding member such as a net (13a) or brush for temporarily holding the weft in a congregated state.
