Winding yarn with a transfer tail involves first winding a waste section, then winding tail away from package and finally taking yarn back to package

摘要

Yarn (F), especially folded yarn on a twister, is wound on a tube (4) by first winding a waste section containing insufficiently twisted yarn from the start-up. A transfer tail is then wound, starting near the package section and winding away from it. Finally the yarn is taken back over the tail to start winding the main package. An Independent claim is also included for a guiding arrangement (8) to divert the yarn (F) to form the claimed tail winding pattern. A sleeve fitted with two guide pegs (11,12) can be reciprocated and also rotated, preferably by hand, to bring either peg into action to wind the waste section or the transfer tail. The waste section is wound in a groove on the tube carrier disk and is cut off at doffing.
