Abstract: The invention relates to a device (1) for feeding threadlike objects (2) such as hooks for garment hangers (3). The device (1) comprises a guide rail (4) along which threadlike objects (2) are to be conveyed, a feeder element (5) having a groove (6) into which threadlike objects (2) may be partially or completely received, the feeder element (5) being movable in relation to the guide rail (4) such that a threadlike object (2) received in the groove (6) can be conveyed by the feeder element (5) along the guide rail (4) as the groove (6) moves along the guide rail (4). The guide rail (4) is movable towards and away from the feeder element (5) such that a distance between the feeder element (5) and the guide rail (4) can be adjusted to the size of the threadlike objects (2) that pass through the device (1). The invention also relates to a system (22) for conveying and feeding garment hangers (3) from a first conveyor section (23) to a second conveyor section (24) and to a method for feeding threadlike objects.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a conveyor for garment hangers, comprising an endless mechanism disposed inside sections with a longitudinal slot upwards, said mechanism having carriers, which project through said slot, and said sections having first sliding surfaces, which are arranged in such a way that a hanger is positioned essentially at right angles in relation to the direction of advance of the conveyor, wherein arranged between two sections is a part with a second sliding surface formed in such a way that the hanger can be turned into a position which is essentially parallel with regard to the direction of transportation.

Abstract: Apparatus is disclosed for carrying and unloading hangers from a first conveyor to a second conveyor including a carrier mounted on the first conveyor so that a hanger hook can be mounted on the carrier, the carrier including a disc having a normally upper surface eccentrically and swingably mounted with respect to the first conveyor, the normally upper surface of the disc including a groove for the hanger hook, and a wedge mounted adjacent to the first conveyor whereby when the carrier passes adjacent to the wedge, the carrier is caused to swing upwardly displacing the normally upper surface of the disc downwardly and causing the hanger hook to fall out of the groove so that it can be transferred to the second conveyor.
