Abstract
A shed retaining and weft guide member for multiple shed, fluid jet looms includes a tubular section with mating male and female ends, a thickened end wall portion, a weft thread exit slot biased to a closed position during weft insertion, and a tapered bore section, all provided to increase the efficiency of fluid jet weft thread insertion by minimizing loss of fluid pressure and momentum.
