Yarn feeding means and a yarn winder including the same

摘要

A yarn feeding means comprising a yarn detaching guide positioned in the vicinity of a positively rotating roller for feeding a yarn continuously fed from a supply source to a yarn winder and capable of selectively occupying either of two positions, one of which is a retractive position where the detaching guide is non-operative to the yarn path and the other is a projective position where the detaching guide is engageable with the yarn path to detach the yarn from the positively rotating roller. The yarn detaching guide holds the yarn during the threading operation away from the feed roller whereby the yarn can be withdrawn even by a standard capacity suction gun irrespective of a high surface speed of the feed roller. A winder comprising the yarn detaching guide is also provided.
