Abstract
The apparatus includes magazines (16) for accommodating drop-wire stacks (LA) and transport mechanisms for feeding the drop-wire stacks (LA) to a separating station where the drop wires are singularized. The transport means contain a first path (11) for feeding the full magazines (16) to the separating station and a second path (21) for returning the empty magazines (16) from the separating station. In addition, mechanisms (22, 33) are provided for transferring the empty magazines from the first to the second path. Largely automatic feeding of the warp-thread drawing-in machine with drop wires is made possible by this device.
