Abstract

A weft yarn guiding comb for a jet loom having a slay, on which the comb is mounted to turn with the slay between a yarn guiding position and a yarn extricating position, includes a plurality of weft yarn guides each comprising a root portion, a substantially straight portion extending upwardly from the root portion, a curved portion branching off from the straight portion while bending to form an aperture in association with the straight portion with an opening between the ends of the straight and corved portions, and a flexible tongue for normally substantially closing the opening. The flexible tongue is provided on the straight portion with its tip positioned either closely adjacent to or in contact with the inner surface of the end of the curved portion thereby to normally close said opening.
