Weft cutting device on looms.

摘要

The invention relates to looms and more specifically to a device for cutting the weft thread (3) outside one or both edges of a weave (10). A pointed edge (13) on a stop (12) faces the front part of the loom and is fixed relative to the reed (2) of the loom and accompanies it in its beating-in motion. A counterhold (11) occupies a primarily fixed position relative to the frame of the loom and is disposed with a region (17) with a softer material than in the edge (13). The stop and the counterhold are movable relative to one another and assume in one of their end locations positions in which the edge (13) interacts with the region (17) with the softer material. The edge thus preferably abuts this softer material and thereby cuts the weft thread (3). The softer material normally comprises an elastic polymeric material e.g. rubber, plastic, etc. and thereby forms a block which is replaceably fastened in a holder (16).
