Abstract: In a coil carrier for receiving threads and yarns and comprising webs which extend substantially parallel to the axis and are interconnected by circumferential supporting rings, the foot section defines a receptacle for a head section of an adjacent like coil carrier. The coil carrier comprises a supporting member and a sliding member axially displaceable relatively thereto, the external diameters of the supporting and sliding members being substantially equal.
Abstract: In a coil carrier wth only one end ring provided with radially inwardly open apertures and carrier elements extending parallel to the axis of the coil carrier, the elements are divided into two sections of which the section adjacent the end ring is formed with two limbs which converge at an acute angle to the end of this section remote from the end ring. The second section is formed by a rod element extending parallel to the axis of the coil carrier. Axially aligned such coil carriers can be telescoped one into the other.
