Device and method for holding and feeding weft threads (1, 2) to the gripper (6) of a weaving machine with drives (25, 29) by way of which clamps (11, 12) for the weft threads (1, 2) are moved on movement paths (35, 36) respectively into a feeding position (16, 19), a transfer position (17, 20) and a standby position (18, 21). The movement path (35, 36) of each clamp has a self-contained form. In this case, the start of movement of at least one of the clamps (11, 12) from its standby position (18, 21) into its feeding position (16, 19) takes place in a period which lasts from the start of the beating movement of the reed (9) until the previously introduced weft thread (1, 2) hits the beat-up line (10) of the weaving machine. |
