  • Publication number: 20170029235
    Abstract: The method in accordance with the invention serves the purpose of extracting a thread (1) by suction from a coil (3) and the re-attachment of a thread end (13) to a new thread (1), whereas the thread (1) is sucked in against its spooling direction through a suction nozzle (6) into an extraction system, a loop (14) is subsequently formed, the thread (1) is separated in the area of the loop (14), which discharges a thread end (13) in the extraction port and prepares the other thread end (13?) coming out of the coil (3) for re-attachment, and is subsequently attached to a new thread (1). Upon being extracted by suction, the thread (1) is guided through an eyelet (11) located in the run of the thread of the extraction port (8), the eyelet (11) is, together with the thread (1), moved out of the run of the thread of the extraction port (8), such that the thread (1) forms a loop (14) between the coil (3), the eyelet (11) and the extraction port (8), along with a corresponding device.

  • Publication number: 20170029234
    Abstract: The method in accordance with the invention for a textile machine, in particular a spinning or a winding machine with multiple similar workstations (1), serves the purpose of delivering a thread (7) to a coil (12), laying the thread (7) on the coil (12), for winding the thread (7) on the coil (12) and for finding a thread end wound on the coil (12) by means of a suction nozzle (4), whereas the thread end is sucked in by means of an opening turned towards the coil circumference that serves as an extraction mouth (10) of the suction nozzle (4). The thread (7) runs through the suction nozzle (4) during the delivery to the coil (12), whereas it enters through an additional opening in the suction nozzle (4) serving as an inlet mouth (9) for the thread (7) and exits the suction nozzle (4) through another opening, in particular through the extraction mouth (10).
