ABSTRACT:
An improved weft control device for shuttleless looms in which weft is drawn between a pair of friction plates mounted on individual post elements in a manner whereby their free ends are disposed in contiguous relation. The device provides a control lever fixed to the lower end of each post element which are operatively connected one to the other. One of the control levers is of greater length than the other and defines an indicating arm that is disposed in operative association with a band of indicating indicia provided on a support member for the post elements. By manually moving the indicating arm in one direction or the other to a pre-selected graduation of the indicating indicia, the post elements will rotate simultaneously and in opposite directions and the force with which one friction plate engages the other can be increased or decreased as desired.
