Abstract: A yarn creel device in combination with apparatus for producing a textile web characterized by yarns extending cross-wise with respect to the length of the web is characterized by a plurality of feed bobbins fixedly mounted inside a plurality of rotating compartments by means of supporting cradles which are in turn mounted within the compartments for free rotation about the same axis of rotation as the compartments. As the compartments are driven in rotation, the supporting cradles are held immobilized by the weight of the bobbins. Yarn is distributed from the bobbins through a hollow axle and through spaces between consecutive compartments of the device.

Abstract: Device for producing a weft web constituted of parallel spaced apart yarns.According to the invention, the yarns are distributed around two continuous endless belts advantageously parallel and supporting a number of pins.The weft yarns are distributed in such a way that the feeding end of the distributing elements describes by its rotation a plane which cuts through the pulleys supporting the lateral yarn-positioning, securing and advancing means; the pins provided on said lateral means being fixed laterally and the weft yarn, when deposited, resting on the outer faces of the supporting pulleys.
