Abstract
A method, and means for use in performing the same, are disclosed by which a core tube on which a yarn package has been wound may be readily removed while concurrently replacing the removed winding tube with a core suitable for dyeing. An expandable and reciprocable chuck is operated cyclically for this purpose in relation to a plate member on which the yarn package is manually placed for the core removal and dye core replacement. In certain circumstances the method and means disclosed are also adapted for removing the dye core after dying and replacing it with a tube of the sort initially used for winding.
Claims6
The method of transferring a yarn package from a core tube on which it has been wound to a core suitable for supporting the package for dyeing, which method comprises inserting the dye core within the winding tube having said package wound thereon, supporting said package endwise with an end portion of said winding tube at the supported package end located over an expandable and reciprocable chuck while maintaining the dye core free of said chuck, and then causing said chuck to grip said winding tube interiorly and withdraw the same from the supported package while concurrently causing the dye core to assume a proper supporting position within the package.
The method of transferring a yarn package from a first supporting core to a second one sized diametrically for insertion within the package, which method comprises supporting said package endwise with an end portion of the first core at the supported package end located over an expandable and reciprocable chuck while maintaining the second core free of said chuck, and then causing said chuck to grip said first core interiorly and withdraw the same from the supported package while concurrently causing the second core to assume a proper supporting position within the package.
