Tailing tool for yarn winding and method of using same.

摘要

A tail on a yarn package formed on a rotatable support core (1) is formed using a "tailing" tool (7) having a rotatable yarn guide (10) with a U-shaped yarn locating portion (10a) arranged so that the bight of the portion (10a) rotates to traverse the yarn towards an adjacent end of the yarn support core (1) on top of an initial convolution (15a) of the tail whereby the main tail (15) traps the initial convolution in place. Rotation of the yarn guide (10) is manually effected by means of a control lever (11).
