Abstract
Shooting and guide members for a shuttle are arranged in a weaving machine. The shooting member comprises an air pressure source which supplies compressed air to one or more acceleration nozzles. The acceleration nozzle or nozzles are arranged to accommodate the shuttle at the time of shooting and, depending on the compressed-air supply, generating one or more air jets. The shuttle is made with surfaces which can be exposed to the air jets. The nozzle and guide members are arranged so as to guide the shuttle at least at the beginning of its shooting trajectory, when the air jet of the acceleration nozzle are brought into effect.
