An apparatus for automatic rotational positioning of textile yarn winding tubes about their lengthwise axes while being transported on peg-tray tube carriers along a conveyor belt or other transport path includes a positioning station having a pair of rotatable positioning rollers disposed at the station along one side of the transport path at a sufficiently close spacing to one another to prevent passage of the peg trays therebetween. Each peg tray has a base plate whose annular surface is formed of a magnetically attractable material such as iron and at least the upstream one of the positioning rollers is magnetized to selectively exert a magnetic force on the peg trays at controllable intervals. As desired, the downstream positioning roller can also be magnetized.

A yarn package handling assembly is provided for handling yarn packages transported on individual package support members on a textile winding machine. The yarn package handling assembly includes a yarn end disposing arrangement operable to dispose the yarn ends of yarn packages into preferred preliminary dispositions for handling at the winding stations of the machine. Another yarn end disposing arrangement is provided for more aggressively acting on yarn packages to dispose their yarn ends in a preferred preliminary disposition where the first arrangement was unsuccessful, handling yarn packages in a special manner to dispose their yarn ends in a preferred preliminary disposition and the yarn packages prepared by the more aggressive yarn end disposing arrangement are transported along a second transport path back to the path for feeding packages from the first-mentioned arrangement to the winding stations. According to one aspect of the present invention, a tube stripping device can be provided for stripping yarn from tubes. According to another aspect of the present invention, a yarn amount sensing member senses the presence of yarn on tubes discharged from the winding stations and controls recirculates those tubes having more than a minimum amount of yarn to the more aggressive yarn end disposing arrangement.

The invention relates to a rotary dobby having a wedge coupling between a drive shaft and an eccentric device for the harness motion, in which the wedge is displaceably supported in a radially extending recess in an eccentric disk arranged in a crank arm and can be coupled and uncoupled in accordance with a pattern in an axially extending groove of the drive shaft at two diametrically opposite coupling locations by a shift rod which is controllable in accordance with a pattern and engages by a coupling member into a groove of the wedge which is open in axial direction of the drive shaft. In order to assure a dependable coupling and uncoupling at high speeds of revolution, the wedge is locked against displacement in its coupled position by a spring-biased locking pawl on the eccentric disk and the locking pawl is displaceable by the coupling member of the shift rod into a position which permits the uncoupling of the wedge.

A textile machine apparatus for handling tubes having remaining yarn thereon includes a branch path for supporting tube support members, which individually support tubes thereon, for travel to and from the discharge assembly of a textile winding machine. The tube handling apparatus also includes a sensor disposed along the discharge transport path of the tube support members from the winding stations of the textile winding machine for discriminating among tubes having no yarn thereon and tubes having remaining yarn thereon. A guide member is operatively connected to the discriminating sensor for guiding the tube support members supporting tubes having remaining yarn thereon onto the branch path for transport therealong to a tube stripping device, which strips the tubes of the remaining yarn. The stripped tubes are then returned to the discharge transport path at a location upstream of the discriminating sensor. In one aspect of the invention, the discriminating sensor discriminates among tubes having less than a predetermined minimum amount of yarn thereon, tubes having more than a predetermined minimum amount of yarn thereon, and tubes having no yarn thereon.

A yarn end preparing apparatus is provided for drawing off a yarn end of a textile yarn package and thereafter rewinding the drawn out yarn end onto the yarn package at a preferred location thereon. The yarn preparing apparatus includes a suction housing supported on a pair of vertical guide rods for movement parallel to the axis of a yarn package to be prepared. A pair of linkage members, each comprising a conduit, are pivotably connected to one another with their respective conduits communicated with one another for applying suction through the conduits to the suction housing to thereby effect drawing in of a yarn end through a suction slot of the suction housing. A light beam emitting member is mounted forwardly of the suction slot for emitting a light beam detected by a light beam detecting member mounted on an opposite forward side of the suction slot. During downward movement of the suction housing to dispose the suction slot adjacent the tapered top portion of a yarn package, the light beam is interrupted by the body of yarn on the yarn package as the suction slot reaches an optimal spacing from the yarn package and a control unit stops the movement of the suction housing in response to the interruption of the light beam to automatically position the suction slot at a predetermined optimal spacing from the tapered top portion of a yarn package independent of the relative axial position of the tapered top portion.

A yarn end unwinding apparatus includes a support base for supporting a yarn package in an upright disposition and a cooperating member. The cooperating member at least partially circumferentially surrounds the upright yarn package and includes a plurality of jet nozzles for directing jet streams of gas interiorly of the cooperating member. The jet streams of gas combine together to form a spiraling stream of gas which causes planetary motion of the package. The package moves in contacting relation along the inner surface of the cooperating member while simultaneously rotating about the package axis and this planetary motion of the package causes unwinding of the yarn end therefrom into position for subsequent package unwinding engagement. The support base preferably includes a pair of relatively movable semi-cylindrical portions.
