Abstract

A wide selvage is formed along a fabric edge in a weaving loom by at least two selvage forming heads arranged in a row with an outer selvage forming head (9) and an inner selvage forming head (8) positioned between the outer selvage forming head (9) and an edge of a fabric. The outer selvage forming head (9) seizes a weft end and transmits it to the inner selvage forming head (8) which inserts it into the shed for beat-up. Both forming heads work pneumatically and in tandem with each other. A set of two selvage forming heads (8, 9) is arranged at each fabric edge.
