  • a switch 62 for example a pressure switch, which supplies a signal to the control unit 6, due to which the drive motor 5 is moved to the right.
  • a switch 63 is provided, for example also a pressure switch, which, when actuated, supplies a signal to the control unit 6 so that the drive is moved to the left.
  • the operator can first check the function of the device.
  • the stop element can be moved into a reference position, in particular into the right or left end position, by means of which a stepping motor serving as the drive motor 5 is adjusted before the weaving machine is started.
  • the operator can use the switching means 60 a correction of a position of the stop element 4 predetermined by the control unit 6 according to a program. It can visually check whether the weft thread in question protrudes with the correct length over the selvedge. If this is not the case, it can switch to manual operation by means of the switch 61 and correct the position of the stop element 4 by actuating the switches 62 or 63. This corrected position is then adopted by the control unit 6 for the weft thread in question as soon as the switch 61 switches back to automatic operation.
  • the switching means 60 can be provided, e.g. a pressure switch which, when actuated, controls the drive motor 5 via the control unit 6 so that the stop element 4 is moved to an end position. The next actuation of this switch 62 then causes the stop element 4 to be moved in the opposite direction by means of the drive motor 5 into the opposite end position.
  • a pressure switch which, when actuated, controls the drive motor 5 via the control unit 6 so that the stop element 4 is moved to an end position. The next actuation of this switch 62 then causes the stop element 4 to be moved in the opposite direction by means of the drive motor 5 into the opposite end position.
  • the structure of the device according to FIG. 17 corresponds to the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 4.
  • a switching means 60 ' is provided which is arranged in the area of the holder 7.
  • the switching means 60 contains an adjusting element 64, for example a potentiometer, which, when turned to the right or left, supplies a signal to the control unit, so that the drive motor 5 correspondingly rotates to the right or left and the stop element 4 ent ⁇ adjusted accordingly.
  • an adjusting element 64 for example a potentiometer
  • the switching means 60 'contains a switch 65, by means of which and with the aid of the adjusting element 64, the program stored in the control unit 6 can be modified or adapted. If, for example, the operator determines that the ends of the inserted weft threads protrude too far beyond the selvedge, the position of the stop element can be corrected with the aid of the adjusting element, for example by turning the adjusting element 64 to the left. By actuating switch 65, this corrected value is transferred to control unit 6. If the ends of the weft protrude too little beyond the selvedge, an opposite correction is made, i.e. the adjusting element 64 is rotated accordingly, for example to the right.
  • the new value is then entered into the control unit 6 by actuating the switch 65.
  • This possibility of correction is of course so limited that the drive motor 5 does not attempt to move the stop element 4 into a position in which the guide bolts 18 have to be moved beyond the ends of the slots 21. With a stepper motor as the drive motor 5, this means that the corrected values can never be less than zero and never greater than a set maximum value.
  • This possibility of correction is advantageous since the positions stored in the control unit 6 are predetermined in advance before the device 1 with its holder 7 is mounted on the frame 9. In practice, this assembly cannot be carried out in a very exact position and thus in a very exact orientation in the running direction A of the slave gripper 3.
  • a switch 65 is provided for each weft thread to be entered, by means of which actuation a position corrected with the aid of the adjusting element 64 can be entered into the control unit 6 for each weft thread.
  • sensors are attached in the area of the selvedge, which detect the length with which the inserted weft threads protrude beyond the selvedge. The sensors transmit corresponding signals to the control unit 6, which contains an evaluation device to measure the ge ⁇ correct positions of the stop element 4 according to the measured length.
  • the position of the stop element 4 is changed so that the stop part 23 of the gripper clamp 2 of the slave gripper 3 earlier with the stop surface 22 of the Stop element comes into contact, while when the measured length is less than the predetermined value, the position of the stop element 4 is adjusted so that the stop part 23 of the gripper clamp 2 of the slave gripper 3 starts earlier .
  • switching means 60, 60 ' have only been explained using the example of a slave gripper, it goes without saying that corresponding switching means can also be provided for a sensor gripper. It is also possible to use switching means 60, 60 'of this type also in all the other embodiments described above.
  • the gripper clamps 2, 36 and their stop parts 23, 35 are only shown schematically in all the exemplary embodiments explained. Of course, the gripper clamps do not have to be in one piece with the stop parts.
