(under subclass 435.1) Device comprising structure which extends across at least a portion of a shed and which functions to confine a weft-carrying pressurized stream during the projection of a weft thread into the shed.
(1) Note. The confining of the stream is for the purpose of conserving as much as possible of the stream's velocity.
(2) Note. The claims of the art of this subclass occasionally are limited to the guide, per se.
