Abstract
In a jet loom in which a weft yarn is inserted through the warp shed by a jet of fluid such as air, the thickness of the weft yarn is detected prior to insertion continuously or at intervals with a yarn thickness detector, and the pressure of ejection of the fluid jet is controlled by a result of such detection so as to be optimum for the weft insertion. The jet of fluid is ejected from a nozzle member under the controlled pressure to insert the weft yarn reliably without insertion failures.
