Abstract: A winding station of a textile machine for producing cross-wound bobbins includes a base unit, a cover unit, and a bobbin holder configured to hold the cross-wound bobbin. A traversing device is configured to lay a thread in a crosswise manner on the cross-wound bobbin. A thread finding device is configured to find a thread end on the cross-wound bobbin. The base unit at least partially covers the cover unit, and the cover unit is movable with respect to the base unit between a working position for laying the thread and seeking the thread end and a cleaning position for cleaning the winding station. At least portions of the thread finding device are configured on the cover unit. A method is also provided for operating the winding station.

Abstract: An adapter assembly for connecting an end effector to a surgical instrument includes first, second, and third drive assemblies configured for converting rotational motion into linear motion. Each of the second and third drive assemblies includes a cam assembly for longitudinally advancing and retracting respective second and third drive members.

Abstract: An arranging-line mechanism comprises a cam, an axle connecting to the cam, a sliding element and a transmitting mechanism to drive the cam and the axle. The cam comprises an inclined surface and the sliding element to slide thereon. When the axle revolves, the transmitting mechanism drives the cam to revolve. A power line is wound regularly via the sliding element to slide on the inclined surface.

Abstract: A traversing yarn guide (5) that is moved back and forth produces cross winding of yarn on a bobbin at each winding head of a textile spinning or winding machine in order to wind cross-wound bobbins. After a yarn interruption, an auxiliary yarn guide (4) in an active position keeps the yarn in a position that is raised out of the traversing yarn guide (5). In a rest position (4′), the auxiliary yarn guide (4) does not influence the yarn and the traversing yarn guide (5) can grasp and take the yarn to be wound from the auxiliary yarn guide (4).
