ABSTRACT:
A loom reed (10) comprised of plastic dent strips (A, B) is illustrated having a profiled section (32, 34) which is reinforced for weft yarn beat-up into the cloth (C). The profiled section includes a web (38, 48) of reduced thickness which creates additional air space facilitating passage of knots and the like in the warp yarn through the space between adjacent dent strips. A rim (40, 50) created by the reduced web maintains the warp yarn generally out of contact with the remaining plastic surface of the dent to reduce surface drag and friction. A metal insert (56) is utilized in the dent strips at the edge of the reed for additional stiffness where the cloth beat-up forces are attenuated. A tunnel forming recess (36, 52) is formed in the dent strips to form a tunnel across a length of the reed facilitating weft insertion by containment of a fluid jet. Various means to expedite the assembly of the dent strips into a reed are provided one of which (60, 66) eliminates the need for conventional channel strips (12, 14). Tunnel alignment means are provided by complementary protuberances (70, 74) and indentations (72) aligning the ends and thus the individual recesses (52) across the tunnel length.
