Abstract
The filling thread distributor mechanism employs a stationary part having arcuate channels through which filling threads are continuously delivered. In addition, the mechanism has a rotatable part mounted on the weaving rotor which is provided with a plurality of circumferentially disposed transfer channels for sequential alignment with each connecting channel of the stationary part. Each transfer channel also communicates with a picking tube through which filling thread can be picked into a picking channels on the weaving rotor. A cutting mechanism is disposed between a picking tube and a picking channel in order to sever the filling thread and form a new tip for subsequent delivery to the next picking tube of the rotating part.
