A device for detecting breakage of or an end of warp yarns or tapes on a fabric weaving loom, said device comprising: a yarn-end detection means comprising: - a drop wire having an opening for passage of said warp yarn , and wherein said drop wire is held in its normal operating position due to tension in said warp yarn ; and - a first element being fitted on the drop wire and having an electrically conducting outer surface , wherein the drop wire and the first element are provided corresponding to each warp yarn ; an electric circuit of which said yarn-end detection means form a part, and a notification means to notify the breakage of or the end of the warp yarn , wherein the electric circuit comprises a pair of second elements between which a physical gap is present; wherein each of said second elements has an electrically conducting inner curved shaped surface corresponding to said drop wire wherein said inner curved shaped surfaces are provided with a shape corresponding to that of said outer surface of the first element , and wherein, subsequent to the falling of said drop wire from its normal operating position due to substantial loss of tension in said warp yarn , said electrical circuit gets completed by said electrically conducting outer surface of the first element and said electrically conducting inner curved shaped surfaces of the second elements coming in contact with each other, thereby triggering the notification means for a notification signal generation of yarn/tape break or end. a yarn-end detection means comprising: - a drop wire having an opening for passage of said warp yarn , and wherein said drop wire is held in its normal operating position due to tension in said warp yarn ; and - a first element being fitted on the drop wire and having an electrically conducting outer surface , wherein the drop wire and the first element are provided corresponding to each warp yarn ; - a drop wire having an opening for passage of said warp yarn , and wherein said drop wire is held in its normal operating position due to tension in said warp yarn ; and - a first element being fitted on the drop wire and having an electrically conducting outer surface , wherein the drop wire and the first element are provided corresponding to each warp yarn ; an electric circuit of which said yarn-end detection means form a part, and a notification means to notify the breakage of or the end of the warp yarn , wherein the electric circuit comprises a pair of second elements between which a physical gap is present; wherein each of said second elements has an electrically conducting inner curved shaped surface corresponding to said drop wire wherein said inner curved shaped surfaces are provided with a shape corresponding to that of said outer surface of the first element , and wherein, subsequent to the falling of said drop wire from its normal operating position due to substantial loss of tension in said warp yarn , said electrical circuit gets completed by said electrically conducting outer surface of the first element and said electrically conducting inner curved shaped surfaces of the second elements coming in contact with each other, thereby triggering the notification means for a notification signal generation of yarn/tape break or end. <EOS>
