Abstract
A coil carrier for packages of thread or yarn comprises interconnected carrier elements extending parallel to its axis. The individual carrier elements (1; 25; 40) are circumferentially compressible and shape-retaining coupling members (4, 7; 10; 15; 29, 30 to 33) are provided between adjacent carrier elements. The gap between two adjacent carrier elements is larger than the dimension of a carrier element in the circumferential direction.
Claims13
A coil carrier comprising interconnected circumferentially compressible carrier elements extending parallel to the carrier axis, said carrier elements projecting radially outwardly and forming a common cylindrical surface, and axially spaced shape-retaining coupling members (4, 7;
- 10;
- 15;
- 29, 30 to 33;
- 48 to 51) disposed between and interconnecting respective pairs of circumferentially adjacent carrier elements (1;
- 25;
- 40), said coupling members securing said carrier elements in spaced relationship while permitting uniform circumferential compression of said coil carrier throughout its axial length, and wherein the gap between each two adjacent carrier elements is larger than the dimensions of a carrier element in the circumferential direction, said carrier being axially partly insertable into a coil carrier of like construction.
