Filling-tautening device for loom

Abstract

A filling-tautening device has a filling-tautening member provided with openings, such as round, through holes, vertical slots or meshed holes. Part of a picking fluid passes through the openings and hence the reflection of the picking fluid by the filling-tautening member is reduced accordingly to prevent a picked filling thread from twining round the filling-tautening member.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A filling-tautening device for a loom, including a filling-tautening member disposed near a selvage of a fabric on the loom, having a working edge that comes into contact with a picked filling thread advancing together with a reed toward a cloth fell of the fabric and bends the picked filling thread, and provided with an opening extending in a picking direction.

         4 . The filling-tautening device according to  claim 1 , wherein the opening is at least one vertical slot.  
     
     
         5 . The filling-tautening device according to  claim 1 , wherein the filling-tautening member is a frame having a proper width and defining an open space.  
     
     
         6 . The filling-tautening device according to  claim 1 , wherein the filling-tautening member is provided with a filling-passing opening, and the opening is formed near an edge of the filling-passing opening.
