ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a device (1) for feeding threadlike objects (2) such as hooks for garment hangers (3). The device (1) comprises a guide rail (4) along which threadlike objects (2) are to be conveyed, a feeder element (5) having a groove (6) into which threadlike objects (2) may be partially or completely received, the feeder element (5) being movable in relation to the guide rail (4) such that a threadlike object (2) received in the groove (6) can be conveyed by the feeder element (5) along the guide rail (4) as the groove (6) moves along the guide rail (4). The guide rail (4) is movable towards and away from the feeder element (5) such that a distance between the feeder element (5) and the guide rail (4) can be adjusted to the size of the threadlike objects (2) that pass through the device (1). The invention also relates to a system (22) for conveying and feeding garment hangers (3) from a first conveyor section (23) to a second conveyor section (24) and to a method for feeding threadlike objects.
