<p>A thread delivery device is disclosed, particularly for supplying elastomer threads in circular knitting machines or circular hosiery machines. An endless belt (1) is guided in a horizontal plane along the periphery of the machine by means of guide rollers (2) mounted for free running, and is driven at a predetermined speed. It is in friction engagement with the peripheral surface of delivery spools (11) carrying the threads via a predetermined angle of grip in each case. Each of the delivery spools (11) mounted on a holder (9) for rotation about a vertical axis, is moveable, by means of its holder (9), towards and away from the belt (1) subject to the action of a resilient force loading it towards the belt (1). <IMAGE></p> |
