Abstract: A hybrid yarn, and associated system and method of making, are provided wherein a first continuous yarn is formed as a multi-filament yarn and a second continuous yarn is formed as a crimped yarn consisting of thermoplastic fibers in a parallel thread sheet. The parallel thread sheet has a plurality of crimped continuous threads next to one another in one plane. The continuous threads are formed from as a collection of a plurality of continuous filaments.

Abstract: A winding device and associated method for swiveling a bobbin in the winding device during an interruption of a winding operation are provided, wherein the bobbin rests on a backing roller and is formed on a bobbin tube onto which a thread is wound. The bobbin tube is rotatably held between holders on two retaining arms mounted on a common swivel arm having a swivel axis. With force measurement unit, one of intrinsic weight of the bobbin or a force effect that acts on the retaining arms due to contact of the bobbin with the backing roller is measured. A manual force is transmitted into at least one of the retaining arms in a force direction that is determined by evaluating the force measurement unit. With a drive that is operably configured with the swivel arm, the swivel arm is swiveled in the force direction.

Abstract: A method for adapting a travel end position of a changing movement of a thread to a flange spool includes means of which the thread is moved back and forth during a spooling operation along a rotation axis of the flange spool relative to the flange spool by means of a changing thread guide. The flange-side travel end position can be moved away from the flange of the flange spool in an axial direction when the thread tension decreases when the thread is moved away from the flange-side travel end position. Also, the flange-side travel end position can be moved by means of the changing thread guide in an axial direction towards a flange of the flange spool when the thread tension increases when the thread is moved away from the flange-side travel end position. Included is a spooling device for carrying out the disclosed method.

Abstract: A housing 1 for enclosing a nozzle is suggested, particularly an air covering nozzle or an air texturing nozzle 3, with at least one filament pass-through aperture 10, 11, 12, 13 having a filament pass-through aperture circumference 20 and a housing cover 5 that covers a housing opening in a housing base 15, housing cover 5 engaging with housing base ridges 18 on housing base 5 by means of cover ridges 17, filament pass-through aperture 10, 11, 12, 13 being located in such manner on one of the housing base ridges 18 that part of filament pass-through aperture circumference 20 is formed by one of the cover ridges 17.
