Abstract
A mechanical loom including a shooting device for shooting a shuttle into the shed from an initial position into a receiving position at a transfer device. The shuttle is connected through a flexible return element to a return member of a return device, so that the shuttle can be returned into the initial position and, simultaneously, a weft thread can be pulled into the shed. The return device includes a release device which releases the return element from the return member when the shuttle has reached the initial position. The mechanical loom is of simple construction and low weight. The weft thread is pulled into the shed in a careful manner, so that the weaving machine has a high efficiency.
