Abstract
An apparatus for transferring yarns in hanks from hank carriers or supports movable along a feeding line to a container or conveyor device comprises a head (40) movable in at least one direction parallel with the extension of the hank holding supports (11) and preferably movable also parallel with the feeding of the hank holders; the head carries at least one pliers member (50) comprising two parallel rods (51, 52) cantilevered and movable between a spread apart position and a position close to each other.
Claims21
A device for hank transfer from hank holding supports movable along a feeding line to a containing or transporting device, each of the hank holding supports having a generally horizontally extending portion for supporting a hank, said device comprising:
- a head with at least one pliers member formed of a pair of rods extended substantially parallel with an extension of the horizontally extending portion of the hank holding supports, said rods being movable between a widened out or opening position and an approached closing or gripping position;
- means for controlling the movement of said rods between said opening and closing positions;
- and means for displacing said head with pliers at least in a direction parallel with an extension of the horizontally extending portion of the hank holding supports so that said rods in said opening position are positionable on opposite sides of a hank supported on one of said hank holding supports and are thereafter movable to said closing position to grip the hank so that the hank is removable from said holding support by displacement of said head away from the hank holding support.
A device for transferring hanks from hank holding supports moving in a feeding direction, said hank holding supports having a horizontally extending portion supporting the hanks, said device comprising:
- a pair of rods movable with respect to each other between a spaced apart position and a gripping position in which the distance between the rods is less than the width of a hank carried by one of said hank holding supports;
- means for controlling movement of said rods between said spaced apart position and said gripping position;
- head means for supporting said rods and said means for controlling movement of said rods;
- and
- first movement means for moving said head means to and fro in a first direction parallel to an extension of said horizontally extending portion of said hank holding supports so that said rods in said spaced apart position are located on opposite sides of a hank supported on one of said hank holding supports and so that said rods after being moved to said gripping position are moved away from the hank holding support to thereby transfer the hank.
