A method for operating a textile machine producing cross-wound packages has a multiplicity of autonomous work stations that each have a spinning apparatus and a winding apparatus and are equipped with a suction nozzle, connected to the vacuum network of the textile machine, for receiving a thread from the surface of a cross-wound package, and also a storage nozzle, likewise connected to the vacuum network, for temporarily storing excess thread length, and which is operated at least by one service unit that exchanges full cross-wound packages for empty tubes as required. The invention provides for the actuation of a cross-wound package/empty tube exchange by one of the service units to be prevented during the operations of restarting of the work stations, thereby ensuring that, during the restarting of the autonomous work stations, the maximum number of work stations always starts up again at the same time.

A gluing device of an end edge of a log including an introduction assembly into the gluing device of a log, a handling assembly for a log associated to detection device of the end edge and including a pair of rolls for advancement and holding in rotation of the log, a glue dispensing assembly and a transfer assembly of the log including a transfer plane positioned downstream of the lower handling roller. The glue dispensing assembly is placed in series between the lower handling roll and the transfer plane and includes a transverse tank for the glue, housing cyclically movable glue transfer members. The transverse tank is provided with an upper cover provided with a plurality of openings provided in succession side by side at a set distance along a transverse row. The movable glue transfer members include a plurality of tips provided in succession along a transverse row, alternatively projecting through the relevant openings and retracted within the transverse tank because of the cyclical movement.

A device for splicing and continuously providing an outgoing film web includes a splicing unit for splicing a first or a second incoming film web to the outgoing film web, and a clamping unit and an intermediate film storage for the outgoing film web.

The splicing unit includes a first sealing jaw with a first holding device for the outgoing film web, and a first cutting device for severing the outgoing film web in the region of the first sealing jaw. The splicing unit includes a second sealing jaw with a second holding device alternately for the first or the second incoming film web, and a second cutting device for severing this incoming film web. The sealing jaws with their respective holding devices can be displaced relative to one another out of the region of action of their first and second cutting devices into their mutual region of action.

The invention provides a fiber product folding and stacking system comprising at least one folding wheel, a plurality of suction channels, a plurality of valves and a plurality of passages. The folding wheel includes a plurality of protruding wheels and a plurality of recessing wheels. The protruding wheels and the recessing wheels are adjacent to each other, and suction channels are arranged within the protruding wheels. The passages are disposed in the folding wheel and are fluidly connected to the suction channel. The valves are disposed within the recessing wheels of the folding wheel, and include a connecting opening, a valve channel and a valve opening. When the folding wheel rotates, portion of the suction channels will be fluidly connected to the valve channel through the passage and the valve opening to generate a negative pressure thereon for absorbing the fiber product.
