Abstract

In a weft detecting device, optical fiber bundles, lenses, a light emitting module, a light receiving module, and an amplifier are integrated in a thin detecting sensor body having substantially the same shape of that of reed dent so that the device can be fitted in the narrow space between the reed dents of an air jet loom.
