WEFT INSERTING METHOD AND APPARATUS IN JET LOOM

摘要

Method and apparatus for carrying out the filling operation in a jet loom, wherein a main nozzle is provided for flying a weft through a guide passage formed on a sley at the time of each filling operation. When the supply of a compressed fluid into the main nozzle is stopped immediately after the completion of a filling operation, the compressed fluid present between a transfer valve connected to a fluid supply source and the main nozzle is positively discharged into the atmosphere simultaneously with the stopping of the supply of the compressed fluid, so as to promptly reduce the fluid pressure in the main nozzle, by utilizing the transfer valve designed for the present invention.
