  • Publication number: 20080092352
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for winding a strip (17) consisting of a plurality of parallel threads (18) onto a rotating warping drum (2), wherein the winding position of each individual thread is determined with the aid of a thread guide (21) which is associated with a thread selection device (8) and which is allocated to said thread. The thread guides (21) are displaced in the direction of the axis of rotation (6) of the warping drum (2) from a rest position into a working position and the individual threads (18) are seized successively by an internal thread carrier (30) associated with the warping drum (2).

  • Patent number: 7325283
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for thread distribution in a warping frame (1) which comprises a yarn package (2) for coiling a coil consisting of a plurality of threads (18). According to said method, a warp for producing a thread crossing or thread separation is produced, while the yarn package rotates, at the start and/or the end of a coil in a circumferential area of the yarn package (2) using warp shedding combs (40, 40a, 40b) disposed in the circumferential area of the coil (2). A partial element, especially a partial thread (49) or an auxiliary crossing rod (34, 56) is introduced into the open warp (51) while the yarn package rotates.

  • Patent number: 5908170
    Abstract: An apparatus for winding a yarn onto a bobbin wherein the apparatus includes: a finger-shaped yarn guide supported along a first axis orientated at right angles to the bobbin axis, the yarn guide being subject to an oscillating motion about the first axis; and energy storage mechanisms for controlling the deceleration and acceleration of the yarn guide in short regions near reversing points for the yarn guide motion, wherein the position of the energy storage mechanisms is adjustable.
