Abstract
A device for the distribution of weft yarns into weft ducts of a rotor of a series shed loom has a first part (7) rotating with the rotor (2) with transfer ducts (11) for the weft yarns and a second part (8) which is nonrotatable in relation to the rotor (2) and has connecting ducts (10) for the weft yarns. Between the first and second parts (7, 8) are three support units (30) which form a three-point support and keep the first and second parts (7, 8) spaced apart to define a gap (9) between them. This reduces friction between the first and second parts (7, 8) and improves the transfer and distribution of the weft threads.
