摘要： Header assemblies generally used to handle yarns, for example, to facilitate connection of yarns feeding into a tufting machine or other device. In some embodiments, the improved header assembly (42, 40) includes at least a detachable header (122, 22) and a collector plate (123, 23). The improved header assembly simplifies the process of loading yarn through a detachable header (122, 22) by positioning the detachable header so that it abuts the collectable plate so that individual yarns can be blown through the collector plate through the appropriate holes (128, 28) in the detachable header. In some embodiments, the header assemblies are configured for use with varying gauges, different alignment requirements, different devices, and/or to otherwise be more universal in nature.
