Abstract

An apparatus for picking a weft through the shed of a loom in which separator elements interposed between the warp threads are provided with a recess defining a passageway along which the weft thread is conveyed during the picking operation. The picking is accomplished by fluid jets, preferably in the form of compressed air, which are directed angularly toward the passageway in the picking direction.
