Yarn delivery device for a twisting or cabling machine, for feeding a yarn via a traversing yarn guide to a take-up package, the yarn delivery device having a first deflection roller for deflecting a yarn; a driven godet, arranged downstream of first deflection roller in yarn transport direction; a separator roller, arranged relative to the godet such that a yarn can be laid several times around the separator roller and the godet, said yarn being wrapped around separator roller and godet jointly; and a pitch lever, having a second deflection roller arranged downstream of godet in the yarn transport direction, for deflecting the yarn again. A cantilever, having a third deflection roller, which, in the yarn transport direction, is arranged downstream of the second deflection roller and upstream of traversing yarn guide for feeding the yarn onto a take-up package, the second deflection roller being arranged on a different side of a vertical plane extending through axis of rotation of the separator roller from the third deflection roller to receive the yarn from separator roller or godet and to deflect the yarn toward third deflection roller.

This application relates to a yarn carrier device with a yarn tension control function for a flat knitting machine, and a yarn tension control method. At the moment a carriage is connected to a yarn carrier device, a fixing frame carrying a bobbin ascends or descends on sliding rails installed on the yarn carrier device. The ascending or descending speed, time and distance of the fixing frame can be calculated directly according to a yarn carrier stop, the quantity of an unknitted portion of the yarn and the speed of the carriage. When the carriage contacts a yarn carrier, the fixing frame is controlled to ascend along the sliding rails. When the carriage drives the yarn carrier to enter a knitting area, the fixing frame is controlled to descend.

The present invention is an apparatus, system and method for a low tension application spooler and or coiler system that positively drives the material into the coil and or reel so that the tension is minimum during the winding process.

A method of controlling a yarn compensating arm at a workstation of a spinning machine, wherein the yarn is initially withdrawn from an intermediate vacuum storage device. Before emptying the yarn from the storage device, the compensating arm is deflected past its working and into an out-of-the-working-range position, wherein the yarn is captured by the compensating arm and also deflected to the out-of-the-working-range position to form a non-working yarn reserve. The compensating arm is retained by a force at the out-of-the-working-range position while the yarn is emptied from the storage device. Upon being emptied from the intermediate vacuum storage device, the yarn exerts a tensile force on the compensating arm that overcomes the retaining force causing the compensating arm to return to its working range position.

A ribbon self-orienting device that is to be interposed between the source and the target of a traveling ribbon, either during winding of a ribbon into a traversed roll or during pay-off of a ribbon from a traversed roll. A pivoting frame is pivotally coupled to a frame support, at a pivot axis. First and second direction changing means coupled to the pivoting frame serve to change the direction of the traveling ribbon. A force transfer means transfers a transversely directed force, imparted by the traveling ribbon due to the ribbon traversing its traversed roll while under tension, to the pivoting frame causing the pivoting frame to move about the pivot axis. Other embodiments are also described.

The invention relates to an electromagnetic device for eliminating a yarn loop during the process of winding yarn on a cross-wound bobbin on a spinning machine at a constant speed of the yarn production, which comprises a cylindrical two pole magnet (1), which is connected to a compensatory arm (5) of a yarn loop and which is mounted rotatably about its longitudinal axis between two pole pieces (20, 21) of a magnetic core (2) of a coil (4), which are situated opposite each other, whereby on the side remote from the cylindrical two-pole magnet (1) and the pole pieces (20, 21), the magnetic core (2) passes through the electrical coil (4) connected to a source of electrical energy and to a control device. The magnetic core (2) is interrupted in the cavity of the coil (4) and a two pole permanent magnet (3) is located at the point of its interruption.
