Abstract
The heald handling apparatus contains carrier rails for the storage of the healds and a transport device for feeding the healds to a separating station. Each carrier rail is held by a plurality of controlled clamps and is thereby subdivided into a plurality of sections, each for receiving a heald set. The transport of the healds takes place in sets from section to section, the clamp located between the respective sections being opened. The control of the clamps takes place by means of sensors assigned to the clamps, at least one sensor being provided for each pair of clamps belonging together. The heald handling apparatus can be used in connection with healds having closed end loops and healds having open end loops.
