Abstract
In order, during the processing of a thread layer, which is tensioned in tensioning means and exhibits threads running parallel to one another, to be able to vary the sequence of the processing of the threads, a storage device is proposed for the temporary deposition of at least one of the threads which can be separated from a thread layer. The storage device is provided with at least one storage means, which exhibits at least one retaining means for the retention of one or more threads under tension, whereby the minimum of one retaining means is arranged outside the plane of the thread layer. In addition, the storage device exhibits at least one transfer means, with which the thread can be transferred to the storage means.
Claims25
A storage device comprising:
- at least one storage means for temporarily storing at least one thread separated out of a thread layer formed from threads running essentially parallel to one another, wherein the at least one storage means includes at least one retaining means for retaining the at least one thread under tension, wherein the at least one retaining means is arranged outside a plane defined by the thread layer;
- and
- at least one transfer means for transferring the thread separated out of the thread layer to the storage means.
A storage device comprising:
- tensioning means for tensioning a plurality of threads aligned essentially parallel to one another to define a thread layer;
- at least one storage means for temporarily storing at least one thread separated out of the thread layer, the at least one storage means includes at least one retaining means for retaining one or more of the plurality of threads, wherein the at least one storage means is arranged outside a plane defined by the thread layer, and wherein the storage means is configured to be rotated by a drive unit in two opposite directions of rotation about an axis.
A device for the separation of individual threads from a thread layer tensioned between two tensioning points, comprising:
- a separating means for separating at least one thread or several threads simultaneously out of the thread layer;
- and
- a storage means for temporarily storing the at least one thread separated out of the thread layer and including at least one retaining means for retaining the at least one thread separated out of the thread layer, wherein the at least one retaining means is arranged outside a plane defined by the thread layer.
A warp thread drawing-in machine comprising:
- a device for the separation of individual threads from a thread layer tensioned between two tensioning points, the device comprising
- a separating means for separating at least one thread or several threads simultaneously out of the thread layer;
- and
- a storage means for temporarily storing the at least one thread separated out of the thread layer and including at least one retaining means for retaining the at least one thread separated out of the thread layer, wherein the at least one retaining means is arranged outside a plane defined by the thread layer.
A leasing machine comprising:
- means for tensioning a plurality of threads aligned essentially parallel to one another to define a thread layer;
- means for separating at least one thread from the thread layer;
- and
- means for entering a lease into the thread layer including a storage device comprising
- at least one storage means for temporarily storing at least one thread separated out of the thread layer wherein the at least one storage means includes at least one retaining means for retaining the at least one thread, wherein the at least one retaining means is arranged outside a plane defined by the thread layer;
- and
- at least one transfer means for transferring the thread separated out of the thread layer to the storage means.
A method for separating at least one thread from a tensioned thread layer defined by a plurality of threads aligned essentially parallel to one another, the method comprising:
- transferring at least one thread from the thread layer into a temporary storage means when a deviation from a predetermined sequence of threads in the thread layer is detected, and transferring the at least one thread from the temporary storage means back to the thread layer after at least one further thread has been separated from the thread layer.
