Abstract: A yarn false twist texturing apparatus which includes a yarn heater, a yarn cooling device, and a yarn twisting unit serially arranged along a yarn path of travel. The cooling device is composed of a cooling tube, and yarn guides are arranged so that the yarn advances spirally on the surface of the outside periphery of the tube. A yarn lifter is positioned so as to lift the advancing yarn from contact with the outside periphery of the cooling tube over a partial length of the cooling tube, so that the cooling effect can be influenced without significantly changing the spiral looping on the cooling tube.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for guiding and cutting a continuously advancing yarn (1) during a package doff in a takeup device. The yarn is guided by means of a yarn guide (18) which is movable substantially parallel to a package or to a new tube (13), which is driven by a drive roll (29). Downstream of the yarn guide (18), a deflection device (2) and a suction device (37) are arranged, with the suction device comprising a pneumatic vacuum connection (46) and a cutter (47). The suction device (37) cooperates with a transfer device (42) for purposes of cutting the yarn during a package doff and receiving the loose end of the advancing yarn. To enable a gentle processing of the yarn during the package doff, the yarn guide (18) is arranged in the path of the advancing yarn upstream of the driven tube (13), and a deflection device (2) as well as the suction device (37) are arranged downstream of the driven tube.
