Abstract

A separation device for a warp drawing-in machine contains a dividing-off member for dividing off the foremost dropwire of a drop-wire stack. This dividing-off member includes a separating device and a transport device. The separating device subjects to pressure one of the end edges of the dropwire to be divided off to thereby bend this dropwire outwards. The transport device is provided for entry into the gap formed as a result of the outward bending of the dropwire and for conveying the separated dropwire away from the stack. With this separation device, all types of dropwires can be individually separated easily and at a high frequency.
