Abstract
A rapier clamp for an inserting rapier of a rapier weaving machine. The rapier clamp includes a first and a second holding member that are pivotally arranged with respect to one another and are in resiliently pre-biased contact. Between oppositely disposed surfaces of the holding members is spacing structure for creating a free space for receiving a weft thread. Holding sections for the weft thread are formed on the opposing surfaces of the two holding members and the holding sections include at least partially inter-engaging tooth grooves that extend along a longitudinal extent of the holding members.
