ABSTRACT:
An insert rapier includes a weft-holding portion at a bottom portion of a rapier head. Rear and front walls are provided at a distal side of the rapier head with respect to the weft-holding portion and protruding from both sides of the bottom portion, thereby having a warp-dividing function. The insert rapier can guide a weft, which intersects with warps at a predetermined angle, to the weft-holding portion. The rapier head includes a tongue piece provided at the distal side with respect to the weft-holding portion, in a region between the weft-holding portion and the rear wall. The tongue piece has a distal tip located lower than the rear wall, and has an upper ridge gradually ascending from the distal tip toward a proximal side. The tongue piece is movable to a position above the rapier head or toward the proximal side.
