Abstract

An arrangement for the holding of a weft thread for a series shed weaving machine has a holder apparatus (11) for the weft thread (4). Two forwarding elements (12, 13) are arranged at both sides of the holder apparatus and are movable relative to the holder apparatus in order to introduce the weft thread. The weft thread (4) extends transversely to the holder apparatus and transversely to the holder apparatus and transversely to the direction of movement of the forwarding elements, into the holder apparatus and furthermore, an apparatus (14) in order to catch and to tension the weft thread. The holder apparatus comprises a thread clamp (15) with a stationary clamping part (17) and a movable clamping part (18) which is under spring action and which forms a clamping gap (27). The weft thread is held in a stretch state by the forwarding elements (12, 13) and the apparatus (14) and is displaceable transversely through the clamping gap. The required clamping force can be set in an advantageous manner through the thread clamp.
