Abstract
The present invention relates to a yarn storage device for a yarn processing machine, a method for supplementing a yarn store in said yarn storage device and a yarn processing machine provided with said yarn storage device, wherein the yarn storage device comprises storage units (2, 7) and loading means (3) in order to add yarn in a selected storage unit, wherein at least one storage unit comprises a winding holder (7) that is provided to keep a yarn store in a state wound round a holder body (7c), and wherein preferably yarn is added in windings with a winding diameter (D1) that is greater than the radial dimensions (D3) of the holder body (7c).
Claims20
Yarn storage device for a yarn processing machine comprising at least two storage units that are provided in order to hold a respective yarn store for the yarn processing machine, and at least one loader that is provided in order to join an end of the yarn of a selected storage unit to an end of an external amount of yarn and to add yarn from the external amount of yarn to the yarn of the selected storage unit, wherein at least one storage unit comprises a winding holder with a holder body that is provided in order to keep the windings of a yarn store in a state wound round this holder body,
- wherein the loader is provided in order to add yarn from the external amount of yarn to the yarn of the selected storage unit in windings with a winding diameter that is greater than the radial dimensions of the holder body, such that the windings are held as successive windings placed one after another in the state wound round the holder body.
Method for replenishing a yarn store for a yarn processing machine wherein at least two storage units are provided that comprise a respective yarn store for the yarn processing machine, and wherein a selected yarn store is supplemented by joining an end of said selected yarn store to an end of an external amount of yarn and to add yarn from the external yarn store to the selected yarn store, wherein in at least one storage unit, a winding holder with a holder body is provided, and in that a yarn store is held in a state wound round the holder body, and wherein yarn is added from the external amount of yarn to the yarn of the selected storage unit in windings with a winding diameter that is greater than the radial dimensions of the holder body, such that the windings are held as successive windings placed one after another in the state wound round the holder body.
