Injector nozzle for blowing yarn through creel tubes has nozzle assembly attached to compressed air supply by a snap coupling

摘要

An injector nozzle (42) for blowing yarn through a guide tube (8) is connected to a compressed air supply (23) through a spring-loaded snap coupling (19,20) which also allows some relative rotation. The injector is actuated by pressing a button (49) that releases a valve (39) so that the yarn is entrained and blown into the inlet (63).
