Abstract
A reed for an air-jet loom which includes an entry flare allowing several main nozzles to be used. The reed has an inclination of the lower surface of an air guide channel, and an advantageous spacing between the binding spirals which support upper and lower ends of the reeds. The arrangement provides for effective, reliable multi-weft weaving, and can increase the weaving efficiency of the loom, particularly when weaving yarns with irregularities. In a preferred embodiment, the distance between the two binding spirals is approximately 81 mm, with the lower surface of the entry flare having an inclination of approximately 6.degree. with respect to a normal to the rear surface of the channel.
