Abstract: A guide mechanism for presenting a weft thread to a cutter, especially in an air jet loom, has a weft thread guide pin which is driven up and down in synchronism with the beat-up motion of a loom slay, so that a beat-up weft thread is stretched by the guide pin either due to the return motion of the slay or by a horizontal motion component imparted to the guide pin in addition to its vertical movement. During the forward stroke of the beat-up motion of the slay the guide pin is out of the way of the weft thread. The cutting takes place when the weft thread is stretched across the cutter. The return motion of the slay and a forward motion of the guide pin can be combined for applying the proper tension to the weft thread to be cut.

By using its own, independent drive system, which is completely independent of the main loom drive, the cutter can be actuated at any time during the loom cycle. The cutter and clamp drive system is controlled by a computer, which may be programmed to determine the optimum cutting time as a function of the weaving parameters and the weft thread data. A device may be provided to detect an improperly inserted weft thread. Once this has been detected, the computer may deactivate the cutting device to prevent the separation of the improperly inserted weft thread from the weft thread supply.

Abstract: An air jet weaving machine has a weft deflector (7, 90, 23, 22) to keep the weft yarn away from the shed after the occurrence of a disturbance. The deflector is disposed between the picking nozzle (61) and the weft yarn entry into the weft duct (12). Before the discharge orifice of the picking nozzle (61) in the rear position of the sley (10) a rod-like yarn guide (90) extends as far as the shears (8), deflects the yarn into the funnel (23) and introduces the yarn into the shears (8). Thanks to the provision of the yarn guide (90), the weft yarn can be parted off by a single pair of shears (8) both after a normal pick and after a deflection. The weft yarn (5) is deflected by a blowing nozzle (7) transversely to the picking nozzle (61) by way of the yarn guide (90) and is removed by way of a funnel (23).
