Abstract
A pneumatic selvedging device for a loom has a weft yarn end temporarily retained by a threading nozzle. A tuck-in needle takes over the retained weft yarn end for drawing in between the warp yarns of a loom. The threading nozzle is mounted on a retaining arm which is pivotally mounted on a shaft disposed within a casing above the cloth and near the beating-up edge for the weft yarn. A second drive shaft is mounted in the same casing transverse to the shaft for the retaining arm for driving the tuck-in needle. The shaft for the tuck-in needle and the shaft for the threading nozzle are driven off a common drive shaft via cams and cam follow-up levers. A shears may also be mounted on the retaining arm and be actuated by a link pivotally connected between a pivotal blade of the shears and the casing.
