Woven cloth W is transferred between the container box 7 and the reflection plate 9 and inspected with a sensor head placed in the container box 7 and scanning the cloth in lateral direction. An introduction part 9a expanding in the direction separating from the woven cloth W and having a round edge is formed on the reflection plate 9 at the side to accept the woven cloth W. A brush 13 having a width wider than the width of the woven cloth W is placed at a side of the introduction part 9a.
