Abstract: The invention relates to lubrication of a bearing of a spinning or twisting spindle which comprises a spindle shaft and a fixedly mounted housing. Lubricant is moved in a closed circulation path or system from a reservoir to a bearing arranged above the reservoir and back again to the reservoir. According to the invention, the spindle shaft is rotatably connected with the reservoir and is provided with a tube or pipe fixed to the housing and immersing into the reservoir. The tube is provided at its end which is immersed in the reservoir with an inlet opening towards which the lubricant flows during the start of the rotation of the reservoir. Thus, a back or dam-up pressure forms at the inlet opening of the tube, by means of which the lubricant is propelled upwardly within the tube forming a closed circulation path, emerges from an exit or outlet opening of the tube and again flows back through the bearing into the reservoir.

Abstract: The false twist machine has a texturing part arranged below heat treatment zones in which three supply devices and a false twist device are superimposed and staggered from the back to the front in such a manner that in threading in of the thread into these devices turning about and overhead working processes of the operator are avoided. The thread paths formed by the threading in are placed one in front of the other in the sequence of the threading in process. A bobbin creel is movable to the texturing part and is equipped with a thread transfer device which transfers the threads coming from the individual creel bobbins into the vicinity of the first supply device. The winding device is arranged opposite the texturing part at a distance forming an operating alley and gives off the full bobbins to the outerside of the winding device opposite the operating alley. The empty bobbins can be moved from the machine end into a readiness reserve position.

Abstract: The invention concerns an apparatus for producing thread or yarn reserve windings on a rotating bobbin tube (2), with a lever (5) for transferring the thread to the thread catching zone at the face side of the bobbin tube, with a thread guide curve (17) for guiding the thread while the thread reserve windings are formed, and with a thread stop (15) for temporarily holding the thread on the thread guide curve (17) for producing the thread reserve windings.

Abstract: A method of, and apparatus for, taking-off a thread or the like alternately from one of two bobbin packages arranged side by side in a creel for textile machines. The method contemplates taking-off a thread from a bobbin package, the tail end of such removed thread being knotted to the lead end of an essentially parallelly arranged reserve bobbin package. The knot is formed by first pulling the leading thread end of the reserve bobbin package through a thread take-off opening operatively associated with such reserve bobbin package. Then the thread is pulled in a direction opposite to the thread take-off direction through or at a location near a take-off opening operatively associated with the bobbin package from which thread is in the process of being removed, in other words the momentary withdrawal bobbin package.
