Furthermore the device comprises a catching element (10) for threads which have already been cut, which element is adapted to clamp and take along the thread.
Claims9
Shuttleless weaving machine comprising a detector for tracing defects in weft threads and comprising means for removing faulty weft threads from the weaving shed, in which the detector cooperates with the driving apparatus of the weaving machine such that the main machine shaft is reversed through a certain angle at a fault signal of the detector and thereby the latest weaving shed change is put back in order to cancel the weave between the warp threads and the faulty weft thread, characterized in that the means for removing a faulty weft thread from the weaving shed are constituted by a member positioned at the insert side of the machine which is reciprocatable from an inoperative position, in the weft direction through the weaving shed, which member is adapted to move in its operative stroke the faulty weft thread through a distance contrary to the beating up direction from the beating up line in the cloth.
