Abstract (en)

A sorting device for weft yarns suitable to be applied to looms to feed, cut and thread the sorted weft yarn into a bearing gripper (5), comprising: a package (2) of heddles (3) placed side by side and parallel to one another, each heddle carrying a weft yarn; a means for sorting and extracting (11) each heddle (3), comprising an electromagnet (12), which sorts and unlocks a heddle (3), and a lever (20) activated by a first parallel axis oscillator (25), provided with conjugated cam shifting means (6) and roller feeler (26), which extracts the sorted heddle (3) from package (2); a means for sorting and cutting (44) the sorted yarn (4) and its shifting to the bearing gripper (5), activated by a third and a fourth conjugated cam (6'', 6''') oscillator (25'', 25'''), and a means (32) for feeding the sorted yarn (4) from the sorting means (11) to the locking and cutting means (44), activated by a second conjugated cam (6') oscillator (25'). All the conjugated cams (6, 6', 6'', 6''') are located on a rotary shaft (7) and activated at the same time and in a synchronous manner by a motor of the loom. <IMAGE>
