Abstract: Multi-station textile machine, in particular two-for-one-twisting or cabling machine, produces a high degree of flexibility with a simple structure by a respective double spindle unit (1) having a centrally arranged carrier (2), with a carrier (2) having a cross-member (20), which extends from one workstation to the other of the double spindle unit (1), supported by means of adjustable feet (26) on the ground, the carrier (2) furthermore having a centrally arranged hollow profile (21), which extends vertically from the cross-member (20), the hollow profile (21) being at least configured to receive a bobbin removal device (31, 33) and for fastening a winding device (3).

Abstract: A swingable spool holder for a spool which can be driven on its periphery is controlled by a pneumatic drive device which can swing the spool holder between an operating position and a rest position. A compressed-air line is connected to the pneumatic drive device, and to a control valve which can be moved into two switching positions by a feeler lever which engages the thread which is to be wound up. A throttle valve which is effective in one direction is provided in the compressed-air line, which throttle valve is influenced by pressure in the compressed-air line so that it throttles the compressed-air supply to the pneumatic drive in one switching position of the control valve and, in another switching position, permits the rapid escape of compressed-air from the pneumatic drive device into the compressed-air line.
