Abstract: Arrangement for the constant feeding of yarn to textile machines. The arrangement has a cage drum the circumference of which is composed of stable bolts; between the stable bolts there are disposed elements adapted to be shifted in the direction of the axis of rotation of the drum. The shiftable elements adjust the position of yarn windings wound-on on the cage drum.

Abstract: The required length of a continuously delivered weft thread which is to be introduced into the shed of a weaving loom is measured on the circumference of a cylindrical measuring drum. The angular speed of the measuring drum can be infinitely varied to produce an actually required length of the weft thread, thus permitting an exact adjustment of this length.

Abstract: Device for compensating the length of binding threads in a rotary entangling device used for reinforcing the fabric selvedge by twisted leno, particularly for an entangling device of the type in which the bobbins with the binding threads are spaced apart from the twisting disc and which serve only for forming a shed of binding threads. The rotation of the twisting disc is synchronized with that of the device on which said bobbins are mounted. The twisting disc has two guiding channels therein in the form of slots arranged symmetrically to the axis of rotation of the twisting disc and situated in the circumference of a circle the diameter of which substantially corresponds to the magnitude of the warp thread shed at a given distance of the twisting disc from the binding point.

Abstract: Device for gripping and forming a supply of measured weft thread before weft insertion in a shuttleless loom. The weft measuring means includes a rotary measuring drum with a nip disc. The inner space of the measuring drum is mounted on a driving shaft on which there is also mounted an axially displaceable gripping disc which is provided with an axially projecting toothed rim at its outer circumference. The device is provided with an annular housing coaxial of the measuring drum in the opposite inner wall of which there is provided an annular frontal groove, the position and size of which correspond to the axially projecting toothing on the gripping disc. The measured weft is delivered to the weft inserter from the measuring drum through the annular frontal groove to a central apex guide in advance of a weft inserting means.
