Abstract
A device and a method for handling weaving accessories is described herein. A first holding element is provided for being moved cyclically between a supply device and a receiving device. The first holding element is disposed at a carrier means. A push-off element for pushing a weaving accessory off the holding element and onto a component of the receiving device is also disposed at the carrier means. The first holding element is preferably provided for performing its cyclic movement in a plane with an axis running at right angles thereto.
Claims16
A device (1) for handling weaving accessories, the device comprising:
- a carrier (6, 7) configured to rotate about an axis (14);
- a first holding element (2) for engaging a weaving accessory of the weaving accessories, wherein the first holding element (2) is operably connected to the carrier and rotatable therewith about the axis (14), wherein the first holding element (2) is configured to be moved by the carrier cyclically between a supply device (4) and a receiving device (5) about the axis (14);
- and
- a push-off element (8, 9) operably connected to the carrier (6, 7) such that the push-off element (8, 9) is configured to rotate therewith about the axis (14);
- wherein the push-off element (8, 9) is configured for pushing a weaving accessory of the weaving accessories off the first holding element (2) and onto a component (51, 52, 53, 54) of the receiving device (5).
A method for the handling of weaving accessories, the method comprising:
- cyclically moving a carrier (6, 7) and a first holding element (2) operably connected thereto between a supply device (4) and a receiving device (5) about an axis (14);
- and
- pushing off a weaving accessory of the weaving accessories held on the first holding element (2) onto a component (51, 52, 53, 54) of the receiving device (5) with a push-off element (8, 9) that is operably connected to the carrier (6, 7), wherein the push-off element (8, 9) cyclically moves together with the carrier (6, 7) and the first holding element (2) between the supply device (4) and the receiving device (5).
