The invention relates to a device for receiving and holding harness elements (LA, LI), notably drop wires (LA) for weaving machines, between two opposite retaining surfaces (24, 25). The device is characterized by a first piston (26) which has a first retaining surface (24) and can be displaced in a first cylinder (28) and a second piston (27) which has a second retaining surface (25) and can be displaced in a second cylinder (29). The invention also relates to preferred embodiments of said device (23), such as its arrangement in a rotating head (22). The invention further relates to a method for receiving, holding and distributing harness elements (LA, LI), notably drop wires (LA) for weaving machines, by means of a corresponding system (20), in which the operating steps reception, alignment, holding, transport and hand-over of a drop wire (LA) are carried out using a rotating head (22) of the type provided for in the invention and the take-over, transport and output of the drop-wire are effected by means of a distributor carriage (33). |
