[Class 120 (i)] Relates to gill drawing frames of the kind in which falters, after a return path effected at high speed, are fed again into a horizontal working path closed together and pushed at low speed by toothed wheels engaging the ends of the faller bars. According to the invention,. one pair of toothed wheels 1 effect the feeding of the falters 3 into the working path and a further pair of toothed wheels 2 arranged a short distance from the first pair push or progress the falters along tho working path. Additional pairs of pusher wheels may be disposed at one or more points along the working path. The faller bars may be of circular section with one to three rows of pins, or of square section with one to four rows of pins. The ends of the bars are formed with half-trapezoidal sections 5, and rectangular sections 6. Sections 5 co-operate with guiding segments to throw the pins outward at the end of the descent path 9, Fig. 10, and strike a projection 12, Fig. 1, to dispose the falters vertically at the end of the ascent path 4 ; sections 6 cooperate with a guide member 13 at the entry to the descent path 9, and serve to space the falters along the descent, ascent and working paths. Specification 626,953 is referred to.
