Abstract
The giver is used with a gripper loom having a stationary weft supply and includes a tongue in the gripper casing and a clamping element on a wide side of tongue so devised that clamping element bears to some extent on the underside of the gripper casing. At the entry and clamping zone of the yarn, the clamping element takes the form of a thin flat spring strip which follows the curvature of the tongue and which is secured thereto at one end while at a central region the clamping element presses a clamping surface of the gripper casing. When a member moves the tongue away from the gripper casing, the clamping element also disengages from the clamping surface, so that dirt between the clamping surfaces of the tongue element and casing can drop away or be extracted.
