YARN-FEEDING DEVICE

摘要

A yarn-feeding device (F) has a stationary storage drum (2) for a yarn storage (V) which consists of adjacent windings of yarn (Y), a sensor (S) arranged outside the storage drum within a sensor housing (6) and having at least one movable feeler arm (A) which extends with a feeler foot (8a-8c) from its bearing (5) into the path of displacement of the windings along the storage drum and can be displaced by the windings from its base position, a spring arrangement (B) which pushes the feeler arm in the direction of its base position, and a signal-generating scanning device (T) for the position of the feeler arm. The spring arrangement (B) and the scanning device (T) are located on the same side of the bearing (5) as the part (7a-7c) of the feeler arm that carries the feeler foot (8a-8c). Mounting space is thus reduced, even when several sensor functions are ensured, and an extraordinarily compact sensor device can be obtained which can be universally used for different types of yarn-feeding devices.
