Device and method for catching and stretching weft threads

Device for catching and stretching a weft thread (3) inserted into a shed of a weaving machine, comprising a weft thread stretching device (28), a guiding device (25), and a weft thread holding device(27) comprising a first suction nozzle (11) that is arranged stationary on the weaving machine in an extension of an insertion path, which first suction nozzle (11) has an opening (23) directed towards a fabric edge (14) of the fabric (2) and is adapted to generate a suction stream in parallel to the beat-up line (10), so that after the weft thread (3) has been beaten-up a free end of the weft thread (3) held in the first suction nozzle (11) extends at least essentially in parallel to the beat-up line (10). A weaving machine with such a device (1), and a method for catching and stretching weftthreads (3). 用于捕捉和拉伸被插入织机梭口中的纬线（3）的装置，该装置包括纬线拉伸装置（28）、引导装置（25）和纬线保持装置（27），该纬线保持装置包括第吸嘴（11），其在插入路径的延伸部中固定地布置在织机上，该第吸嘴（11）具有指向织物（2）的织物边缘（14）的开口（23）并且适于产生平行于打纬线（10）的抽吸流，使得在纬线（3）已被打纬之后，所述纬线（3）的保持在第吸嘴（11）中的自由端至少基本平行于打纬线（10）延伸。种具有
