Abstract
In a tuck-in selvage forming device for a high speed loom, a weft holder with a cutter, hereinafter referred to as a 'capturing-cutting head', is connected via a transmission system to a drive source of the loom. The capturing-cutting head reciprocates between an operative position and a stand-by position in synchronism with the running of the loom. By operation of a spring inserted in the transmission system, the capturing-cutting head is biased toward the operative position. A stopper activated by a faulty weft signal disenables the spring, so that the capturing-cutting head is held in the stand-by position, i.e., so that reciprocation of the capturing-cutting head is prevented despite continued operation of the drive source.
