Abstract
An inserting rapier (1) for a rapier weaving machine with a thread clamp (4) for the firm clamping of a weft thread (3) is presented, with the inserting rapier also including a guiding or holding device (10) with a guiding or holding element (5) and a mass (6) which are movably arranged on the inserting rapier and with the guiding or holding element (5) being movable by means of the inertia of the mass (6) in order to guide or hold the weft thread.
Claims11
Inserting rapier for a rapier weaving machine with a thread clamp (4) for the firm clamping of at least one weft thread (3), characterized in that the inserting rapier (1) also includes a guiding and/or holding device (10) for guiding and/or holding the weft thread with a guiding and/or holding element (5) and a mass (6);
- and in that the guiding and/or holding element (5) can be controlled and/or moved by means of inertial forces which act on the mass (6) during an acceleration or deceleration of the inserting rapier.
Method for the guiding and holding of a weft thread in an inserting rapier, in said method the weft thread (3) being taken up by the inserting rapier (1) and being clamped in the latter by means of a thread clamp (4), characterized in that the weft thread is additionally guided and/or held in the inserting rapier by means of a guiding and/or holding device (10) which is controlled and/or moved by means of the inertia of a mass (6).
