Textile machine work-station for cross-wound bobbin, has support roller and bobbin swivel arm lifted during break repair

摘要

A textile machine has a work-station for the preparation of cross-wound bobbins. In a process to repair a broken thread, the rotating bobbin and support roller esp. remain separated until a suction jet has acquired the loose upper thread end for the subsequent splicing operation. The splice is effected following a pre-determined thread cleaning-cut or unwanted thread break. Following the break, the bobbin is raised from the support roller by the swivel-arm mounted on the winding frame. The thread repair is then effected by prior art, the roller and bobbin are brought into contact, and the winding process resumed powered by a step-motor.
