Abstract
A tube for yarn bobbins of a moulded plastic material which may be axially compressed, said tube being composed of a number of connected concentric rings (2), where the two end rings (1 and 3) are differently shaped with inner and outer cylindrical surfaces (4 and 6) or conical surfaces adapted to each other, said surfaces providing a seal, and where the cylindrical or conical surface is formed by arms (9) extending from the rings along generatrixes, and the rings are connected with strings (11) shaped as springs which when stretched extend substantially parallel to the generatrixes but which are located under the cylindrical or conical surface formed by the arms.
Claims6
A tube made of molded plastic material for yarn bobbins of variable axial length, said tube including a plurality of axially spaced apart concentric rings each of which has a plurality of arms extending longitudinally of the tube, said arms having outer sides which together form a cylindrical or slightly conical surface of the tube for receiving yarn bobbins, said including and rings being connected together by resilient spring members molded integrally with said rings and located radially inward of said surface formed by said arms, said spring members being of such dimensions that the tube may be compressed in axial direction by virtue of the resilience of the plastic material and said spring members being stretchable in the axial direction of the tube and when so stretched said spring members extend substantially parallel to the generatrixes in the surface of the tube.
