<p>A picking apparatus includes a sley (2) with a reed assembly (1) fixed thereon, a raceway (20) formed in the upper surface of the sley (2), a magnetic force-generating device (3) for generating a magnetic force which moves along the raceway (20), and a shuttle (4) which is attracted by the magnetic force so as to fly along the raceway (20). The sley (2) has a slot (22) formed therein along the raceway (20). The shuttle (4) has an engagement hole (41). The magnetic force-generating device (3) has an extendible and retractable gripping unit which can retract into the engagement hole (41) of the shuttle (4) immediately after the completion of a picking motion. Therefore, the magnetic force-generating device (3) can attract and drive the shuttle (4) during the picking motion. It can be appreciated that the gripping unit can interlock the shuttle (4) and the magnetic force-generating device from the time of the completion of a picking motion until the time of the commencement of the next picking motion.</p> |
