Abstract: A thread storage device having a storage drum (1) from which a supply of thread can be withdrawn overhead through a thread take-off eye (5) which is arranged spaced from the end (1') of the drum and having a brake ring (8) which is arranged coaxial to the storage drum, with brake member (2) acting on an edge region (4) of the drum on the thread take-off side, the axial position of the thread take-off eye (5) and brake ring (8) being adjustable relative to the storage drum. In order to be able to effect a finer adjustment of the braking action, the thread take-off eye (5) is displaceable in axial direction relative to the brake ring (8) in such a manner that, with constant brake action of the brake member (2) which merely prevents ballooning, the thread application (alpha 1, alpha 2) on a radially inwardly curved section (3) of the drum is adjustable.

Abstract: A thread storage (1) having a substantially cylindrical storage drum (2) for the receiving and delivery of circumferentially deposited turns of thread (3), having a central thread withdrawal eye (4) for the overhead withdrawal of the thread (5), and having a brake surface (8) which rests under spring load on a frustoconical withdrawal slide surface (6) associated with the withdrawal-side end region (2') of the drum, which brake surface is formed by the inner side of a frustoconical brake strip (9) of flexible material. In order to make the withdrawal of the thread uniform and counteract wear and deformation of the brake surfaces, the frustoconical brake strip (9) rests flushly on the frustoconical withdrawal slide surface (6), the thread being withdrawn tangentially through the flushly engaging surfaces.

Abstract: A device for applying a liquid, for instance oil, to a traveling thread, having a rotatably mounted roll (1) extending into the line of the thread in order to receive a film of liquid on its surface (1') from a liquid reservoir (9) and transfer the liquid by surface contact. In order to improve the usefulness of such a device, a spatial separation of roll and reservoirs is provided. The liquid is to be transferred to the roll by a wick (6) which is arranged between the roll (1) and the reservoir (9).

Abstract: A device for drawing a thread, ribbon or the like off from a package (1), in which the thread or the like can be withdrawn overhead from the package and, in order to obtain a practically twist-free drawing off of the thread, ribbon or the like, the thread, ribbon or the like is withdrawn alternately over one of the two opposite end surfaces (1', 1'') of the package (1).

Abstract: A feed device for travelling threads, in particular for bringing them to thread-processing machines such as, for instance, for the introducing of the filling thread into a loom, in which device the thread is fed tangentially to a drum connected with a rotary drive and is removed again from said drum by a draw-off force acting on the other side of the drum, the thread wrapping only around part of the circumference of the drum turning with higher circumferential speed than the thread draw-off speed and being adapted to be brought to the outer surface of the drum in slip entrainment via the draw-off force which is tangential to the drum, in which connection at least two drums which are adjacent to each other with parallel axes are so divided by stationary partition walls that each of the drums forms a plurality of regions, lying one behind the other in the axial direction of the drums, for partial wrapping by the thread in the manner that the thread passes from the region of the one drum to the region of the oth

Abstract: A friction thread feed device having at least two drums (5, 6) which are arranged spaced apart from each other and are partially wrapped by the thread (F), the drums being driven in the direction of travel of the thread (F) with a circumferential speed which is considerably greater than the thread removal speed. In order to avoid the layers of thread passing onto each other upon multiple wrappings on the drums and also in the case of threads of difficult shape, partitions (17, 18) which divide the drum outer surfaces into individual adjacent regions which are axially offset from each other are fastened in the region of the space between the drums (5, 6 ).

Abstract: The invention concerns a thread feeder having a storage member (1) to which the thread (F) is tangentially fed and from which the thread (F) is removed overhead, the withdrawal being effected under elastic fingers (5) through a ring (6) which is provided in the region of the head end of the storage member (1). In order to obtain easy variability of the blocking of removal, fingers (5) seated on the storage member (1), extend protruding beyond the head end (4) of said member, and spring outward in the direction (x) of application against the ring (6) which is located beyond the head end (4).

Abstract: A thread-delivery device is disclosed including a storge body formed by bars disposed in the shape of a polygon. The bars form two axially-spaced sections of approximately equal circumferential length. A cylindrical member having sawtooth-shaped threading grooves is rotated between the bars of the first section. The bottom of the threading grooves is located radially inwardly of lines interconnecting the bars. A ring having a conical face is disposed at the thread entrance opening adjacent to one end of the first section and a sensing device is provided to sense the endmost thread wound on the second section.

Abstract: A thread storage and feed device having a winding body (9) to which the thread (F) passes in the region of a conical widened portion (17) in order to form a supply which can be withdrawn overhead, arms (24) being arranged crosswise to the angular channel (16) of the conical widened portion (17), which arms extend into slots (30) in the region of the conical widened portion (17) of the winding body (9) and are directed towards corners of a polygon. So that, in the case of high thread output capacity, an orderly large supply of thread can be stored even in the case of very different, and particularly elastic, threads, each of the arms (24) which extend approximately over the axial length of the winding body (9) and are longitudinally displaceable in axial direction forms, at its end facing the angular channel (16), an angular channel (28) of its own, the region (29) of which can be introduced into the slot (30) by the longitudinal displacement.

Abstract: Conveying device for continuous threads with a thread accumulator to which there is coordinated a brake mechanism, regulating the thread feed, and a coupling mechanism comprising an annular magnet (10) whose winding (9) is surrounded by a two-piece housing concentrating the magnetic field lines, one housing part (7) being rotatably mounted and permanently connected with the drive and forming a slot (11) relative to the other, stationary housing part (8), the slot width, in the peripheral direction, varying in uniform distribution, and into which slot there is inserted a ring (14) made of electrically conducting material, which ring is jointly rotatably connected with the power take-off axle (18).
