Abstract
The present invention relates to a thread separating apparatus (11) for separating a thread (15) from a thread layer (13) comprising a first spindle (17) which is rotatable about an axis of rotation (18), in the circumference whereof a first helical guide track (27) is provided. The first spindle (17) during rotation is suitable for transporting a plurality of threads in the first helical guide track (27) along the first spindle (17). Located upstream of the first spindle (17) is a deflecting part (25) which provides for a deflection of the threads (15) from the first plane (16) into a second plane (35). At the rear end (33) of the first spindle (17), a first release edge (31) is provided for the release of the threads (15) from the second plane (35) into a third plane (39).
Claims17
Thread separating apparatus (11) for separating a thread (15) from a thread layer (13) defining a first plane (16) and comprising a plurality of tensioned threads (15) disposed adjacent to one another and substantially parallel to one another, comprising,
- a first rotatable spindle (17) in the circumference whereof a first helical guide track (27) is provided, which first spindle during rotation is suitable for transporting a plurality of threads in the first helical guide track (27) along the first spindle (17) further characterized by
- a deflecting part (25) for a deflection of the threads (15) received in the first guide track (27) from the first plane (16) into a second plane (35), and
- a first release edge (31) which is provided on the first spindle (17) and on which the first helical guide track (27) ends for the release of the threads (15) from the first guide track (27) into a third plane (39).
