Abstract: A device for separating textile parts such as cotton pads out of a textile sheet formation. The device includes at least one first tool component with a receiver opening for receiving separated-away textile parts, at least one second tool component cooperating with the first tool component and having a separating tool, for separating away textile parts out of the textile sheet formation. The first and the second tool components are designed movable to one another and relative to one another for separating away textile parts. The first tool component is designed as a die with a first cutting edge encompassing the die opening in a closed manner and the second tool component is designed as a working punch with a second cutting edge.
