Abstract
A method for winding a continuously advancing yarn to a cross-wound package on a rotating tube wherein the yarn is deposited on the tube during the winding of the package within a winding range. Directly before the winding cycle, a yarn reserve wind forming a trailing yarn end of the package is deposited outside of the winding range. In this process, the yarn is guided by a yarn guide that is movable substantially parallel to the tube surface. In accordance with the invention, the yarn guide is reciprocated at different guiding speeds for purposes of securing the trailing yarn end on the circumference of the tube with at least some yarn winds of the yarn reserve wind.

A method of winding a continuously advancing yarn to a cross wound package within a winding range on a rotating tube, and comprising the steps of
- initially forming a yarn reserve on the tube outside of the winding range, by guiding the advancing yarn with a yarn guide which is moveable substantially parallel to the tube, and wherein the yarn guide is moved by a controllable drive such that the yarn guide is reciprocated to secure a trailing yarn end on the circumference of the tube with at least some of the winds of the yarn reserve, then
- winding the advancing yarn onto the tube within the winding range to form a cross wound package, and
- wherein the guiding step includes moving the yarn guide by the controllable drive such that the yarn guide is reciprocated in a forward direction toward the winding range and an opposite return direction, and so that the forward and return movements are at different speeds.
A method of winding a continuously advancing yarn to a cross wound package within a winding range on a rotating tube, and comprising the steps of
- initially forming a yarn reserve on the tube outside of the winding range, by guiding the advancing yarn with a yarn guide which is moveable substantially parallel to the tube, and wherein the yarn guide is moved by a controllable drive such that the yarn guide initially moves in a forward direction toward the winding range so as to form initial winds on the tube and then moves in a return direction to form further winds which overlie at least some of the initial winds and thereby secure the initial winds on the circumference of the tube, and such that the initial winds and the further winds lie outside of the winding range, and then
- winding the advancing yarn onto the tube within the winding range to form a cross wound package.
A method of winding a continuously advancing yarn to form a cross wound package within a winding range on a rotating tube, comprising the steps of
- guiding the advancing yarn onto the tube so that the yarn
- (1) initially moves in a forward direction at a predetermined speed from one end of the tube to the winding range,
- (2) then moves within the winding range to form a waste wind,
- (3) then moves in a rearward direction from the winding range toward the one end of the tube at a speed which differs from said predetermined speed and so as to form a yarn reserve outside the winding range,
- (4) then moves in the forward direction back into the winding range, and
- (5) then reciprocates within the winding range to form a cross wound package wherein the waste wind is formed along substantially the full length of the winding range.
A method of winding a continuously advancing yarn to form a cross wound package within a winding range on a rotating tube, comprising the steps of
- guiding the advancing yarn onto the tube so that the yarn
- (1) initially moves in a forward direction from one end of the tube to the winding range,
- (2) then moves within the winding range to form a waste wind which extends along substantially the full length of the winding range,
- (3) then moves in a rearward direction from the winding range toward the one end of the tube so as to form a yarn reserve outside the winding range,
- (4) then moves in the forward direction back into the winding range, and
- (5) then reciprocates within the winding range to form a cross wound package.
