Filament yarn coil, in particular binder yarn coil for wrap yarn spinning machines

摘要

A yarn package and a method and apparatus for producing the same are disclosed, and wherein the package is composed of a yarn wound in layers of decreasing axial length so as to define a central cylindrical portion and opposite end portions. In order to protectively shield the exposed ends of the yarn layers within at least one of the tapered end portions, the outermost layer is extended so as to overlie and entirely cover such one tapered end portion. In addition, selected intermediate yarn layers may be extended axially a distance sufficient to overlie and cover essentially all of the underlying layers on such one end portion to protect and stabilize the underlying yarn layers.
