Abstract
A weaving machine with pneumatic weft insertion is provided which includes a fixed reed filler at an output end of a reed when it is in a weft insertion position. A catch salvage forming device is disposed at an output end of the fixed reed filler when the reed is in the weft insertion position and serves to keep the inserted weft stretched during movements of the reed between a weft insertion and a beating up position. In order to shorten the overall length of the assembly, a weft stop motion for detecting the insertion of the weft is located on the fixed reed filler.

Weaving machine with pneumatic weft insertion, comprising:
- a reed having a weft insertion channel and movable in use between a weft insertion position and a weft beating up position,
- a fixed reed filler located in a stationary position on an output end of the weft insertion channel when the reed is in the weft insertion position,
- a catch selvedge forming device disposed at an output end of the fixed reed filler when the reed is in the weft insertion position, said catch selvedge forming device being operable to keep the inserted weft stretched during movements of the reed between the weft insertion and beating up positions, and
- a weft stop motion located on the fixed reed filler and operable to detect insertion of the weft.
