Method and device for forming the inset selvage in an air weaving loom, of the type in which the weft yarn is cut so as to form free weft ends which are reinserted into the shed so as to be beaten up together with the next weft.
The method comprises, in succession, the following steps to be performed after closing of the shed and before insertion of a new weft: a) pneumatically deviating the weft ends into a receiving channel; b) pneumatically transferring the weft end from said receiving channel, in a direction perpendicular to the weft insertion line, to a zone upstream thereof; c) pneumatically reinserting the weft end inside the shed.
