Abstract: In order, during the processing of a thread layer, which is tensioned in tensioning means and exhibits threads running parallel to one another, to be able to vary the sequence of the processing of the threads, a storage device is proposed for the temporary deposition of at least one of the threads which can be separated from a thread layer. The storage device is provided with at least one storage means, which exhibits at least one retaining means for the retention of one or more threads under tension, whereby the minimum of one retaining means is arranged outside the plane of the thread layer. In addition, the storage device exhibits at least one transfer means, with which the thread can be transferred to the storage means.

Abstract: A device feeds harness elements to a separation station of a drawing-in machine. The device includes at least one feed rail. The harness elements are arranged on the one feed rail. The feed rail has an inclination relative to a horizontal to generate a slope descending force for pressing a respective foremost harness element onto the separating station.

Abstract: A drawing-in machine includes a harness element provided with an eyelet; an arrangement for displacing the harness element in a direction parallel to the length dimension of the harness element; and a device for aligning the eyelet with a desired drawing-in position. The device includes a sensor detecting an actual position of the eyelet; and an arrangement for displacing the harness element from the detected actual position into the desired drawing-in position.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for singularizing healds, which are lined up via eyes on supporting rails to form a stack. In a method and an apparatus which carefully handle the healds during the separation and subsequent transport away from the stack and stress them as little as possible, especially by friction, the frontmost heald (15, 16) in the stack is laterally deflected in one region (11) of the heald and removed from the stack. The frontmost heald is then removed from the stack in further regions in a direction pointing away from the stack and is finally transported further away from the stack in the region of its eyes (7) along the supporting rails by transport members (12, 13).

Abstract: A device is used for the transfer of harness elements (21) from a conveying member (21) in a drawing-in machine for warp yarns onto carrying members of a weaving machine, that has an ejector for removing the harness elements from the conveying member. In order to provide a device in which the carrying members are aligned as exactly as possible at the moment when the harness elements are transferred onto them, there is provided a guide roller for the harness elements which is mounted rotatably about an axis and which has guides for the carrying member which guide the carrying members in two orthogonal directions.

Abstract: A method and a device for drawing warp threads into harness elements of a weaving machine through use of a drawing-in member which effects a reciprocating movement and with at least one conveying device for harness elements. In order to increase the capacity of devices of this type, the drawing-in member is constructed to carry out a reciprocating movement which is short compared with the length of the warp threads. This is done by providing a transporting device that transports the warp thread to a point in front of a weaving reed.

Abstract: At their free ends the yarns are straightened, clamped and welded with a film. Welding is performed with two welding bars to which is allocated a brush beam to tension the yarns. The welding bars are borne and/or guided by a frame to which the brush beam is also secured. The frame is fitted on a mobile chassis which also has a holder to take a roll of welding film. For use in weaving preparation works and in weaving works, especially in preparing the warp and in starting weaving.

Abstract: The separating apparatus contains carrier rails for the storage of healds in the form of a stack, a dividing-off member for pushing the foremost heald laterally out of the stack into an intermediate position, and a first transfer device for transporting the healds from the intermediate position in the direction of a heald carrier for transporting the healds to their drawing-in position. Provided in the region between the intermediate position and the heald carrier is a lock which contains a controlled clamp for clamping the carrier rails. The lock is briefly opened for transporting a separated heald past the lock to the heald carrier. The apparatus can be used to separate healds of all types, especially of those having closed end loops.

Abstract: The heald handling apparatus contains carrier rails for the storage of the healds and a transport device for feeding the healds to a separating station. Each carrier rail is held by a plurality of controlled clamps and is thereby subdivided into a plurality of sections, each for receiving a heald set. The transport of the healds takes place in sets from section to section, the clamp located between the respective sections being opened. The control of the clamps takes place by means of sensors assigned to the clamps, at least one sensor being provided for each pair of clamps belonging together. The heald handling apparatus can be used in connection with healds having closed end loops and healds having open end loops.
