Abstract
A rotor for a series-shed loom is furnished, with relay system jets (3). These relay system jets (3) are located inside the rotor, and are supplied with compressed air by an air distribution system (10) via delivery stations. The delivery stations are distributed in the axial direction in order to produce a travelling field (22) relative to the loom rotor. At the same time, the delivery stations (6) are adjustably mounted in the direction of rotation (41) and are connected to an adjustment device (27, 33). The adjustment device permits the angle of rotation (8) between the delivery apertures (7) of various stations (6) to be adjusted at the broad side of the rotor (1). This also enables the maximum possible weft insertion angle .alpha. with the greatest possible weft insertion velocity to be used even with a reduced loom width (36).
