WEAVING LOOM

WEAVING LOOM A weaving loom of the type in which a conveying tunnel for the wefts is formed on the reed, particularly for the joined substantially U-shaped reed lamellae and in which the wefts are propelled from the one side of the weaving shed to the other through said tunnel by means of a flowing fluid with the intermediary of a main blowing nozzle disposed at the one side of the weaving shed and optionally one or more auxiliary nozzles disposed mutually spaced across the width of the weaving shed, on the said other side of the weaving shed a device being provided,operating with a gas or air jet, for tensioning an inserted weft and keeping said weft tensioned during the beating up movement of the reed, whereby the supply for the gas or air jet is arranged such with respect to an imaginary cylinder in alignment with the conveying tunnel passage that the jet issues substantially diametrically and freely across the crosssectional area of said cylinder and is catched by a passage disposed in alignment with said jet and emanating substantially from the circumferential surface of said imaginary cylinder.
