Publication number: 20220205150Abstract: A device and a method for handling weaving accessories are described herein. The device comprises at least one holding element for a weaving accessory. The at least one holding element comprises a contact surface for a weaving accessory. The greater extension of the contact surface defines the longitudinal direction of the holding element and the lesser extension of the contact surface defines the lateral direction of the holding element. The at least one holding element is arranged pivotably around a first axis, which extends at a right angle to the holding element's longitudinal direction. A weaving accessory at the holding element's contact surface can thus be moved from a pick-up position to a drawing-in position by pivoting the holding element around the first axis.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 15, 2020Publication date: June 30, 2022Inventors: Christian Gerth, Stefan Kailer, Bernd Pfeffer, Michael Acker, Karl-Heinz Gesing
