A taker gripper for loom use, of the type in which a wedge moves axially within a hook. The weft to be drawn, and which is wedged into the narrow V recess formed on one side between the wedge and the hook, is also maintained elastically pressed against the shallow recess that is provided in the outer lower surface of the hook by an elastic blade. The elastic blade, moreover, is fixed by its rear end to the wedge or to the gripper body. The inner surface of the hook on the side opposite the side that comprises the narrow V recess is formed so that it diverges from the corresponding surface of the wedge and from the direction of wedge axial movement.
A taker gripper for drawing a weft in loom use, comprising a gripper body provided at one end with a horizontally positioned movable hook having an outer lower surface and an inner surface within which an axially movable wedge having a free edge is maintained elastically pressed by a spring to form on one side of said hook a narrow V recess into which the weft to be drawn is inserted and wedged, said spring acting on that end of a lever extending externally to the gripper body, the lever being hinged at its center to said gripper body and having the free end of said wedge hinged to its other end, characterized in that said weft is also maintained elastically pressed by an elastic blade that has a rear end against a shallow recess provided in the outer lower surface of the hook, and that inner surface of the hook on the side opposite the side of said hook that forms said narrow V recess is formed so that it diverges from the corresponding surface of the wedge and from the direction of wedge axial movement.
