A guide is adapted to be positioned for encirclement by a helical formation of rod rings free falling from the delivery end of a conveyor. The guide comprises a vertically projecting mandrel terminating at its upper end in a nose cone. The nose cone has a horizontal profile defined in part by at least one element having an outer edge separated by a variable radial distance from a central axis of the mandrel.

The invention concerns a yarn feed module for supplying yarn into a textile machine, including a drive roller for supplying the yarn, a guide element for guiding the yarn, and a restrain element that is arranged between the drive roller and the guide element in order to ensure that, on supplying of the yarn, the yarn detaches from the drive roller. The invention also concerns a textile machine including such a yarn feed module.
