In a shuttleless weaving machine wherein the filling yarn is inserted from both sides of the shed by means of gripper systems provided with filling yarn clamping devices and advanced into and then retracted from the shed. The filling yarn is transferred from one gripper system to the other by a controlled opening and closing of the clamping devices. For this purpose, a guide rod mounted in a straight guide on the reed stay and displaceable toward the shed is provided, which is equipped at its end with a control finger. The control finger passes through the warp yarns of the shed and actuates the clamping device in the shed. The control motion is transmitted through a cam follower roller mounted on a rocker lever hinged to a coupling link which in turn is pivoted or hinged to the guide rod. The control finger is entirely pulled downwardly out of the shed for the reed beat-up. The masses which must be accelerated together with the reed are low and control finger vibrations are eliminated.
