Abstract

A weft insertion system for an air-jet loom includes at least one main blower nozzle and a compressed air supply for the main blower nozzle, the compressed air supply including stationary components and components which move together with the main blowing nozzle, the stationary and movable components being connected by a compressed-air conduit which extends between an outlet of one of the stationary components to an intake of one of the movable components. The stationary components are mounted in such a manner that the outlet of the stationary components is located above the intake of the components which move together with the main blower nozzle and, furthermore, is mounted approximately centrally with respect to the end positions of the movement of the moving components.
