Abstract (en)

The present invention is a wing traverse apparatus capable of performing creeping, and capable of forming yarn packages with tapered ends. In the present invention, the rotary centers 02, 03 are moved away from each other as yarn is wound into a package P. This movement changes the eccentricity epsilon between the rotary centers 02, 03, thereby changing the traverse width. <IMAGE>
