Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0633213A1] A textile machine for processing a filament yarn (12) and comprising a feed system (18) for advancing a yarn along an operative path of travel and into a treatment zone. A yarn accumulator (1) in the form of a deflecting plate (3) is positioned downstream of the feed system for temporarily storing the yarn upon a yarn break or slackening of the yarn, with the plate being positioned generally transverse to the operative path of travel and with one of the side edges thereof being closely adjacent the path of travel. Also, a yarn guide is positioned on the side of the yarn path of travel opposite from the one side edge of the plate, such that in normal operation the operative yarn path of travel runs between the one side edge of the deflecting plate and the yarn guide. Upon a yarn break or the development of slack in the advancing yarn, the yarn impacts against the deflecting plate (3) and forms an accumulation of the yarn. The plate may be coated with an adhesive to adhere the accumulation thereto, or the accumulation may drop from the plate and fall into an underlying collection bin (26). <IMAGE>
