(54) | Yarn storing and feeding device |
(57) The present invention relates to a yarn storing and feeding device comprising a stationary
storage drum onto which an intermediate yarn store is wound by a winding-on device
and from which the yarn is withdrawn spiralling through a gab around the withdrawal
end of the storage drum. It comprises at least one yarn stopping device each having
a yarn stopping element and an actuator means for actuating said yarn stopping element
such that it can be at least partially moved into said gap for stopping the withdrawal
of the yarn. A stopping element and the actuator means of prior art yarn storing and feeding devices are located radially outwardly with respect to said gap. In accordance with the present invention, the stopping element is arranged radially inwardly with respect to the gap for achieving a more space-saving design of the yarn storing and feeding device when compared to the prior art device. |
