Abstract

The reed of an air weaving loom is divided into spaced sections for forming a fabric gap. The warp threads are guided through the reed sections, but are absent in a zone of the fabric gap. The weft threads that would bridge the fabric gap are cut in the gap and formed into a selvage. The gap, is formed where the reed sections are spaced from each other to form a breach. A reed filler member is mounted in a stationary position in the reed breach, so that the filler member aligns with the reed sections when the reed is in the rear position. Only the reed sections perform the beat-up motion.
