(54)	Reed retaining device of fluid-jet loom

(57) Included is a pressurizing tube section (22) formed, in a longitudinal direction of a reed (16), between a reed retainer (20) of a loom and a retaining member (14) of a reed dent (12) for accommodating fluid. A piston member (26) being a bias member is provided to move, responding to the fluid pressure applied to the pressurizing tube section (22), in the direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the reed (16). Utilizing the press pressure of the piston member (26), the retaining member (14) is retained between side walls (30a and 30b) of the reed retainer (20).
