A yarn feeder (W) comprising a variable diameter stationary storage body (13) consisting of separated segments (S, SA) received in radial guidances (7) of a support structure (B), each segment comprising at least one finger (F) and a rod (R) unitarily formed with the finger (F), the rod (R) being connected to the lower side of the finger in a junction region, the rod carrying engagement elements (3) at a front side (8) and defining longitudinal guiding surfaces (G) at other sides of the rod, the junction region (1) having at least a gusset (5a) at the transition between the front side (8) and the lower side of the finger, the junction region (1), furthermore, comprising an additional gusset (5b) at a transition from the rear side of the rod into the lower side of the finger. The guiding surfaces (G)- in a crosssection of the rod (R)- being arranged pairwise and with a V-shape. |
