Abstract
A weft carrying gripper is configured to have a small, open sided profile and includes a weft thread gripping jaw portion that is pivotally mounted by a broad hinge pin in lever fashion to the body of the gripper such that the weft clamping element tends to tighten in the clamp closing direction if inadvertent contact occurs between the weft carrying gripper and the weft drawing gripper. Various clamping and thread guiding arrangements are described.
