  • Patent number: 8448891
    Abstract: A yarn storage device provided for supplying yarns to a yarn processing device has a number of yarn storage tubes (1) which are each provided with an input side (2) along which the yarn is supplied to the yarn store (4) and an output side (3) along which the yarn is delivered from the yarn store (4) to the yarn processing device. The yarn storage device also has a yarn loader which is provided for introducing the yarn into the respective yarn storage tube (1) in the form of successive windings which form the yarn store. A yarn is guided in a yarn storage tube of a yarn storage device of this type.

  • Patent number: 6886602
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for driving one or several pile carriers (2) for the selection of one or several pile yarns (15), the pile carriers (2) moving between a first and a second extreme position for pile selection, each pile carrier (2) being directly driven through a drive motor (4), and activating the drive motor (4) for driving the pile carrier (2) occurring either according to the half reset principle, the pile carrier (2), each time being moved over an intermediate position, this intermediate position being a position between two extreme positions for pile selection, and the position of the pile carrier (2) being verified in this intermediate position, or occurring without half reset, one half reset movement being carried out in verification of the fact whether all pile carriers (2) are still in the positions verified, after a number of movements of the pile carrier (2) or after a certain time, said half reset movement being a movement of one or several pile carriers towards an intermediate p
