Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2002529613
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A highly mobile, compact creel that utilizes frames for holding yarn packages (or bobbins) for feeding yarn to a tufting machine. Each frame includes holders affixed to the frame for holding yarn packages facing front and back, a header attachable to the frame for directing yarn from the yarn packages to the tufting machine, and anti-static flexible tubing for leading yarn from the holders to the header. The header provides for aligning all the yarn ends in the same plane to join them to ends already threaded into the tufting machine. An optional frame overlay upright having a ring affixed thereto and strands threaded through the ring prevents yarn from upper yarn packages from falling onto tubes holding lower yarn packages causing yarn entanglement.
