(57) Provided is a yarn feeding device capable of easily performing a necessary operation
for a process to change or to mix specification among entraining-type and self-running-type
running members such as yarn feeders. Two movement belts 4a, 4b are arranged between adjacent yarn feeder rails 2a, 2b while
being divided into upper and lower stages. The upper and lower movement belts 4a,
4b respectively move yarn feeders 3a, 3b that are respectively mounted on trucks 2aF,
2bB of the yarn feeder rails 2a, 2b. Movement driving part driving the movement belts
4a, 4b are mounted on end portions of the yarn feeder rails 2a, 2b, so that no configuration
supporting the movement belts 4a, 4b and the movement driving part is required for
the yarn feeder rails 2a, 2b. The yarn feeder rails 2a, 2b could be shared by the
entraining-type and self-running-type running members. The process for the specification
change from the entrainment-running type to the self-running type, the mixing of the
entrainment-running type and the self-running type, or the like could therefore be
performed without detaching the yarn feeder rails 2a, 2b, thereby reducing the labor.
