in that the pulling movement 36 indicated in fig4 and 6 is carried out so quickly that the reed 24 moves only a little during this period of time in the latter case it is not necessary to interrupt the weaving in the next work phase shown in fig5 the loop 35 has already been pulled out so far by the pulling means 29 that the small plate 20 is located in the region of the weft insertion means 15 as is shown in fig5 it is critical that the small plate be moved out of the vertical position 20 shown in fig4 and 8 in the rotating direction indicated by arrow 41 into a substantially horizontal position 20 39 shown in fig5 as the pushing in movement 37 takes place this is also shown in dash dot lines in fig8 where the rotation which is to be effected at the other side beyond the reed dents 39 is likewise indicated guiding means can be used for this rotation 41 it would also be possible to carry out this function by the weft insertion means 15 while this small plate is situated in its horizontal position 20 39 the next small plate which is.
