A thread supplying device with intermittent thread consumption has at least one thread supplying unit including a rotatable thread supplying drum and a thread supplying device. The thread supplying drum has a first and a second peripheral portion forming corresponding friction surfaces for a thread to be supplied. The thread supplying device has an inlet element associated with the first peripheral portion and an outlet element associated with the second peripheral portion, and also has two movable guiding elements for the thread and associated with the peripheral portions. The thread is guided by the guiding elements between the inlet and the outlet element and cooperates successively with the first and the second peripheral portion and placed on an associated one of the peripheral portions in a supplying position of the guiding elements along a greater peripheral angle than in a non supplying position of the guiding elements.
A thread supplying device with intermittent thread consumption, comprising at least one thread supplying unit including a rotatable thread supplying drum and a thread guiding device, said thread supplying drum having a first and a second peripheral portion forming corresponding friction surfaces for a thread to be supplied, said thread guiding device having an inlet element associated with said first peripheral portion and an outlet element associated with said second peripheral portion, said thread guiding device also having at least two movable guiding elements for the thread, each of said guiding elements being associated to one of said peripheral portions for guiding the thread in such a manner between said inlet element and said outlet element that it cooperates successively with said first and said second peripheral portions and is placed on an associated one of said peripheral portions in a supplying position of said guiding elements along a greater peripheral angle than in a non supplying position of said guiding elements, said first and second peripheral portions having different thread supplying properties.
A thread supplying device with intermittent thread consumption, comprising at least one thread supplying unit for supplying a thread, said thread supplying unit including a rotatable thread supplying drum and a thread guiding device, said thread supplying drum having a first and a second peripheral portion forming corresponding friction surfaces for said thread, said thread guiding device having an inlet element associated with said first peripheral portion and an outlet element associated with said second peripheral portion, said thread guiding device also having at least two movable guiding elements for said thread, each of said guiding elements being associated to one of said peripheral portions for guiding said thread in such a manner between said inlet element and said outlet element that it cooperates successively with said first and said second peripheral portions and is placed on an associated one of said peripheral portions in a supplying position of said guiding elements along a greater peripheral angle than in a non supplying position of said guiding elements, said thread guiding device having at least two separate control levers, each control lever mounting one of said guiding elements.
