Patent number: 8032995Abstract: The device is used for separating a partial quantity of threads from a thread layer by means of a movable separating means, wherein the thread layer is formed from a plurality of adjacently arranged threads. The device includes a movement device for moving the separating means relative to the thread layer, a control device for controlling the movement device and a detection device for detecting threads, wherein the detection device allows the detection of a reference position relative to the thread layer and the movement device can be controlled in such a manner that the separating means can be brought to a working position relative to the thread layer and can execute a separating movement in which the separating means is at least partially inserted between two adjacent threads.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2007Date of Patent: October 11, 2011Assignee: Staubli AG PfaffikonInventors: Paul Metzler, Martin Hunziker

Patent number: 7356893Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2004Date of Patent: April 15, 2008Assignee: Stäubli ag PfäffikonInventor: Walter Bachmann

Patent number: 6397443Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2001Date of Patent: June 4, 2002Assignee: Stäubli AG PfäffikonInventors: Thomas Good, Plazi Wenzin, Justus Mullis, Andreas Erhard, Martin Hunziker

Patent number: 6282765Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2000Date of Patent: September 4, 2001Assignee: Stäubli AG PfäffikonInventors: Walter Schâpper, Markus Wolf

Patent number: 6230377Abstract: 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).Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2000Date of Patent: May 15, 2001Assignee: Stäubli AG PfäffikonInventor: Daniel Tanno

Patent number: 6199249Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2000Date of Patent: March 13, 2001Assignee: Stäubli AG PfäffikonInventor: Thomas Gauer
