  • Patent number: 5293738
    Abstract: An apparatus for delivering a skein end of a thread wound on a reel to an apparatus for returning the skein end to a spinning machine. The apparatus for delivering the skein end comprises a device for unwinding a reel on which the thread is wound, a capturing device for capturing the skein end of the thread, a transferring device to transfer the thread from the capturing device to a device that returns the thread to the spinning machine, and a detecting device for detecting the presence of the thread in the transferring device. Another aspect of the invention generally features an apparatus for rejoining the skein end of a thread wound on a reel, the thread having been disconnected from the reel due to one of a plurality of different events. The apparatus comprises an unwinding device for unwinding the reel; a capturing device for capturing the skein end of the thread wound on the reel, a cutting device for cutting a portion of the thread captured by the capturing device.
