Yarn feeding device.

摘要

A yarn feeding device (1) comprises a stationary storage drum (2) from which the yarn can be withdrawn. In accordance with the present invention, the yarn feeding device can be operated at a positive feeding mode and at a non-positive feeding mode by means of a rotatable yarn guiding member (7) arranged at the withdrawal end (5). The yarn guiding member (7) comprises at least one yarn engagement element (11) adapted for engaging the yarn when the rotational speed of the yarn spiralling around the withdrawal end of the storage drum tends to exceed the rotational speed of the yarn guiding member (7). The yarn engagement element (11) comes out of engagement with the yarn when the rotational speed of the guding member (7) exceeds the rotational speed of the yarn spiralling around the withdrawal end (5) of the storage drum (2).
