Abstract
Abstract The weft severing device is used for superposed shed type weaving machines and has at least one shear which has a blowing tube. The tube is supplied with blowing air to convey the weft thread. To sever the weft thread, the blowing tube is moved into the cutting element after the weaving rotor has drawn the weft thread over the mouth of the blowing tube.

Independent Claim
73 words
A weft severing device for a weaving machine comprising a blowing tube for pneumatically conveying a to be inserted weft thread therethrough; a cutting element for severing a weft thread extending out of said tube in cooperation with said blowing tube; and means for moving at least one of said tube and said element relative to each other to effect severing of a weft thread between and by said tube and said element.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
73 words
A weft severing device for a weaving machine comprising a blowing tube for pneumatically conveying a to be inserted weft thread therethrough; a cutting element for severing a weft thread extending out of said tube in cooperation with said blowing tube; and means for moving at least one of said tube and said element relative to each other to effect severing of a weft thread between and by said tube and said element.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
59 words
A weft severing device as set forth in claim 1 wherein said tube has a mouth at one end for passage of weft thread and said cutting element is a plate having a bore for receiving said mouth of said tube and a cutting edge about said bore for severing a thread extending between said mouth and said edge.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
82 words
A weft severing device as set forth in claim 1 which further comprises a guide element having said tube slidably mounted therein and said cutting element extending therefrom, said guide element having a duct for receiving compressed air and communicating with a slot in said tube to deliver compressed air thereto; a first cutting edge at an exit end of said tube; and a second cutting edge on said cutting element facing said first cutting edge to sever a weft thread therebetween.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
81 words
In combination, a weft severing device including a blowing tube for pneumatically conveying a weft thread therethrough, a cutting element for severing a weft thread extending out of said tube and means for moving at least one of said tube and said element relative to each other to sever a weft thread therebetween; and a guide duct spaced from said tube to receive a pneumatically conveyed weft thread therefrom with said cutting element disposed between said tube and said guide duct.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
81 words
In combination, a weft severing device including a blowing tube for pneumatically conveying a weft thread therethrough, a cutting element for severing a weft thread extending out of said tube and means for moving at least one of said tube and said element relative to each other to sever a weft thread therebetween; and a guide duct spaced from said tube to receive a pneumatically conveyed weft thread therefrom with said cutting element disposed between said tube and said guide duct.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
28 words
The combination as set forth in claim 4 wherein said severing device includes a guide element having said tube slidably mounted therein and said cutting element extending therefrom.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
