Abstract: The invention relates to a yarn feed apparatus for a workstation of a cabling machine for feeding a creel yarn from a feed package arranged on a bobbin creel or from a transport conveyor arranged above the cabling machine to a cabling apparatus equipped with a cabling spindle and/or for feeding a starter yarn from the cabling spindle to the creel yarn, a workstation of a cabling machine for producing a cabling twist and a method for feeding a creel yarn using a yarn feed apparatus of this type.

Abstract: The invention relates to a traversing thread guide for causing a thread to traverse at a workstation of a textile machine that produces cross-wound packages, comprising a base carrier, which can be arranged on a traversing rod, and a thread-guiding element, which is arranged on the base carrier and which has two wall portions, which are arranged at a distance from each other and delimit a thread insertion slot and a thread-guiding channel.

Abstract: A method for starting a spindle of a cabling or two-for-one twisting machine, wherein a yarn reserve is formed on a take-up package, the machine has a workstation having a spindle pot for holding a first feed package and having a spindle rotor with a lateral outlet below the spindle pot, an outer yarn from one feed package is wound around an inner yarn from another feed package and the outer yarn is guided through the spindle shaft and its lateral outlet in a balloon orbiting the spindle pot to a yarn-guiding device above the spindle which merges the two yarn supplies, and a winding device in which the produced twist is wound onto the take-up package. A ratio of the take-up speed of the twist to the rotation speed of the spindle rotor is increased in comparison with the production data is used during creation of the yarn reserve.

Abstract: Yarn-tension influencing device for a twisting or cabling machine for feeding a yarn via a traversing yarn guide to a take-up package, the yarn-tension influencing device having a first deflection roller, arranged downstream of a yarn handling device in the yarn transport direction and is provided for guiding the yarn from a balloon yarn guide through the yarn handling device and for deflecting the yarn; a second deflection roller, arranged downstream of the first deflection roller in the yarn transport direction and is provided for further deflection of the yarn; a third deflection roller, arranged downstream of the second deflection roller in the yarn transport direction and is provided for adjusting the angle of wrap of the yarn around an advance roller; and an advance roller, arranged downstream of the third deflection roller in the yarn transport direction and is provided for regulating the yarn tension.

Abstract: A device as well as a method for determining the diameter of a yarn balloon (B) formed by a continuous yarn at a workstation (1) of a yarn balloon forming textile machine. The workstation (1) comprises an electromagnetically functioning sensor means (33), designed and arranged in such a way that at least two interruptions of a measuring beam (42) of the sensor means (33) are caused by the yarn (5, 25) forming the yarn balloon (B) during every rotation of the yarn balloon (B) during the operation of the workstation (1), and in that the time interval between the interruptions of the measuring beam (42) can be recorded by the sensor means (33) and used for calculating the diameter of the yarn balloon (B).

Abstract: Spindle pot bearing for a twisting machine, in particular a two-for-one twisting machine or cabling machine, having a bearing bush for connecting a spindle pot base to a spindle in an interlocking manner in an axial direction.

Abstract: Yarn delivery device for a twisting or cabling machine having a first deflection roller for deflecting a yarn; a driven godet, arranged downstream of first deflection roller in yarn transport direction; a separator roller, arranged relative to the godet such that a yarn can be laid several times around the separator roller and the godet, said yarn being wrapped around separator roller and godet jointly; and a pitch lever, having a second deflection roller arranged downstream of godet in the yarn transport direction, for deflecting the yarn again. A cantilever, having a third deflection roller, which, in the yarn transport direction, is arranged downstream of second deflection roller and upstream of traversing yarn guide for feeding the yarn onto a take-up package, second deflection roller being arranged on a different side of a vertical plane extending through axis of rotation of the separator roller from the third deflection.

Abstract: A workstation (1) of a two-for-one twisting or cabling machine which comprises a rotatably mounted spindle (2) and a balloon-yarn-guide-eye (9) height-adjustable by means of a drive (18, 29) coupled to a control device (20) which controls the drive (18, 29) in such a manner that it displaces the balloon-yarn-guide-eye (9) between operating positions (AP1, AP2) dependent upon production parameters and a resting position (RS) advantageous in the case of production interruptions and transient operating phases associated with the latter. A device (21, 23, 24, 25) is present for detecting a measured value (i), which is made available to the control device (20) and which causes the control of the drive (18, 29) to change the position of the balloon-yarn-guide-eye (9).

Abstract: At least two pairs of magnets are arranged near one another on supports, the pairs of magnets and the supports form, when an item to be stabilized is in a required angular position, a closed magnetic circuit (except for the air gap), with magnets placed in such a direction that their north and south poles successively alternate with one another along the magnetic circuit, an item, sensitive to the magnetic field, is attached to the fixed part and placed inside the closed magnetic circuit, the sensitive item supplies a logic output state corresponding to the “item to be stabilized in the required angular position” when the detected field is less than a predetermined maximum threshold, and a logic state corresponding to the “item to be stabilized not in the required angular position”, when the detected field is greater than a minimum predetermined threshold.

Abstract: A device for the thermal treatment of yarns comprising at least one inlet opening and at least one outlet opening for at least one transport means, which transports the yarn through the device, and comprising separating elements at the inlet opening and the outlet opening for thermal shielding, in order to minimise the exchange of media to the environment. The separating elements are configured to have a low bending rigidity and are arranged such that a surface load is applied onto the yarn lying on the transport means, for example a conveyor belt, which is not greater than 0.005 kg*cm?2.
