Method of and weft inserter for eliminating a chain formation of wefts not transferred into the beat-up position in travelling-wave shedding looms

Method of and apparatus for eliminating a chain formation of wefts not transferred into the beat-up position of a travelling-wave shedding loom with weft inserters and a rotary reed comprising discs with cutouts for engaging weft and displacing it to the fabric fell. An interwoven but not transferred weft is introduced into the cutouts of the discs of the rotary reed; such cutouts corresponding to the next weft inserter, in lieu of the weft from said next weft inserter. The weft from the next weft inserter is introduced into the cutouts of the discs of the rotary reed, such cutouts corresponding to the next following weft inserter. Due to this phase-shift corresponding to the distance between two weft inserters following after each other, all the other wefts are successively directed into the cutouts of the discs of the rotary reed until the loom stops.
