Abstract
The magazine tip guide of an automatic loom filling winder is subjected to constant pounding by the quill tip support as quills are transferred into the shuttle. Eventually a section is broken out of the magazine tip guide and the replacement of this component and its refitting on the loom winder are costly and time consuming. To avoid the necessity for replacing the entire tip guide, a simple and economical part is installed between the outer side of the tip guide and the rockable quill tip support, and this repair or replacement part has a slot which registers with the slotted portion of the magazine tip guide which has been fractured. The normal operation of the magazine tip guide and quill tip support is not interfered with by the invention.
