Abstract
The separating apparatus contains carrier rails for the storage of healds in the form of a stack, a dividing-off member for pushing the foremost heald laterally out of the stack into an intermediate position, and a first transfer device for transporting the healds from the intermediate position in the direction of a heald carrier for transporting the healds to their drawing-in position. Provided in the region between the intermediate position and the heald carrier is a lock which contains a controlled clamp for clamping the carrier rails. The lock is briefly opened for transporting a separated heald past the lock to the heald carrier. The apparatus can be used to separate healds of all types, especially of those having closed end loops.
