Abstract (en)

An air jet loom (100) includes a reed (7) having a tunnel (7a) and a main nozzle (10) flying a weft yarn (20) into the tunnel (7a) by air jet injection to perform weft insertion. An accelerating tube (1) of the main nozzle (10) has a tapered portion (1a) and a straight portion (1b). Yarn speed ratio (q) of the weft yarn (20) is defined by a speed ratio (U1/U2) of a speed (U1) with respect to a speed (U2). The yarn speed ratio (q) is obtained by relationship among an entire length (L) of the accelerating tube (1), a ratio (A/L) of a length (A) of the straight portion (1b) with respect to the entire length (L) of the accelerating tube (1), and an inclination angle (¸) of an inner surface of the tapered portion (1a). The entire length (L), the ratio (A/L), and the inclination angle (¸) are determined such that the yarn speed ratio (q) is smaller than a maximum value (qmax) that is obtained by Expression 1, qmax = (c2 / c1) + 1.
