Abstract: An improved carrier for use on a shuttleless loom of the type in which yarn is inserted into the warp shed from a stationary source located outside of the warp and in which a free end of the previously cut warp is gripped by the inserter carrier between biased gripper finger and a yarn guide finger to carry the end to approximately the mid point between the two sides of the loom, in which the improved inserter carrier has a yarn gripping element whose axis of rotation can be spatially varied to assure accurate and uniform contact between the gripping surfaces of the pivotable gripper element and the yarn guide element.
