THREAD SEPARATION MECHANISM FOR A WEFT FEEDER DEVICE

摘要

Weft feeder device (30) and thread separation mechanism for a weft feeder device (30) with a winding drum (31) having an axial direction (A) and a winding circumference for storing a weft thread, the thread separation mechanism (1) comprises a separation element (3) arranged at the winding circumference and extending in the axial direction (A) of the winding drum (31), and a drive system (5) for moving the separation element (3) relative to the winding drum (31) along a trajectory (4) having radial and axial components for advancing windings (32) of the weft thread in the axial direction (A), wherein the drive system (5) comprises a first carrier element (6) and a second carrier element (7), and wherein the separation element (3) is coupled to the first carrier element (6) and the second carrier element (7) via a linkage system (8).
