Abstract: A weft yarn guide of an air jet loom comprises a base portion capable of being connected to a sley, a pair of guide members which are connected to the upper end of the base portion and which are forked to form a weft inserting opening therebetween, a base fluid passage formed within the base portion, and a plurality of fluid blowing holes formed on the upper portions of the guide members and communicated with the base fluid passage. The weft yarn guide further comprises a branching wall projected from the upper inner wall of the base fluid passage in order to branch air flow fed from the base passage into two flows, and a pair of branch passages formed within the guide members in order to communicate the base fluid passage with the fluid blowing holes, whereby the air flow is smoothly branched without causing substantial turbulence.

Abstract: An apparatus for regulating tension in warps of a weaving machine comprising: a tension lever swingably supported on a weaving machine and having a roller supported thereon for regulating the tension in warps delivered from a warp beam; a weight lever swingably supported on the weaving machine and having a load at one end thereof; and a link operatively connecting the tension lever and the weight lever. The tension lever has an elongated hole formed thereon, and the lever ratio of the tension lever is changed by moving the link along the elongated hole.

The tension lever has an elongated hole formed thereon, and the lever ratio of the tension lever is changed by moving the link along the elongated hole.The apparatus further includes a support member having two pairs of guide rollers and being connected to the link, so that the relative movement between the link and the tension lever can smoothly be carried out.

Abstract: Generally, a weft guiding comb according to this invention consists of a root portion, an annular portion integrally connected to the upper end of the root portion and forming an aperture with a slit, a fluid passage formed in each of said root and annular portions to allow a flow of fluid to flow therethrough, and a fluid outlet or outlets arranged around the periphery of the aperture for discharging the flow of fluid passed through said fluid passages. At least said annular portion is composed of two members each extending in the radial direction of the aperture and cooperating with each other to form said fluid passage and said fluid outlet or outlets.

Abstract: Generally, a weft guiding comb for a jet loom constructed in accordance with this invention comprises a root portion, an annular portion integrally connected to the upper end of the root portion and forming an aperture with a slit to allow a weft yarn passed through the aperture to come out of the latter, a fluid passage formed in each of said root and annular portions to allow a flow of fluid to flow therethrough, and a fluid outlet or outlets arranged around the periphery of the aperture for discharging the flow of fluid passed through the fluid passages. The weft guiding comb further comprises a relatively long and narrow fluid path or paths disposed between the fluid passage formed in the annular portion and the fluid outlet or outlets for orienting the flow of fluid, passed through said fluid passage in said annular portion, in a predetermined direction.
