Tack-in system of shuttleless loom

A tack-in system of a shuttleless loom having means for picking a weft yarn into a shed of warp yarns, said tack-in system comprising:

• means defining a slit located near an edge of an array of the warp yarns, the weft yarn picked from the weft picking means being extended through said slit;
• means for cutting the weft yarn picked from the weft picking means;
• means for holding an end section of the picked and cut weft yarn having at least a part of said end section located within said slit, said end section projecting from an edge of a woven fabric;
• means defining a fluid jet nozzle having an opening from which a fluid jet is ejected;
• means for locating an opening of said nozzle such that the fluid jet therefrom blows the picked and cut weft yarn end section held by the holding means;
• and
• means for directing the fluid jet from said fluid jet nozzle so that an axis of the fluid jet crosses a cloth fell at an acute angle when projected on a horizontal plane passing through said cloth fell.
