APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR INDIVIDUAL YARN SELECTION PARTICULARLY IN DONNING MULTI COP WINDERS

摘要

An improved yarn guide assembly for selecting yarns individually from a group in the donning of a multicop winder, the assembly being of the kind in which each gap in a row of guide members is shaped to receive a yarn only if it lies in a unique plane, the improvement being that the yarn guiding surfaces of the guide members immediately beyond the gaps, are inclined to, and at least partially face, the direction from which the yarns approach the gaps and, optionally, that each guiding surface immediately beyond the gaps contains at least one ratchet notch.
