摘要

The gripper (24) takes hold of the hook (12) of a coat hanger (11) on which an article of clothing is located and which is fed forward by a slide rod (25). A bracing device (39) displaceably located between two coat hangers (11) fitted in the distance of a free hanging section. The gripper, the bracing device and the conveyor are controlled by a control unit in such a way that the gripper (24) with the secured coat hanger is insertable between the two predetermined adjacent coat hangers (11) hanging on the conveyor, where the secured hanger hook is released. During this operation, the bracing device holds the two coat hangers on the conveyor apart. The gripper consists of two clamp jaws (28), the one of which is pivotable by a cylinder (22) around an axis common to both jaws. The bracing device (39) has two jaws which are pivotable by a cylinder (41) around an axis common to both bracing jaws. USE/ADVANTAGE - In the clothing trade, to load articles of clothing fitted on coat hangers as required on to a conveyor in the desired sequence.
