Claims
- 1. A method for forming a thread reserve from a thread end of a textile coil fully wound on a coil core having an end projecting out of the textile coil and frictionally driven by a winding roller in a winding device, which comprises removing the textile coil from the winding device by means of a coil removing device, retaining the coil on the coil removing device, pneumatically seizing a thread extending between the winding roller and the textile coil by means of a suction gripper and sucking the thread in the form of a loop into a mouth of a suction gripper while simultaneously rotating the textile coil in a direction opposite to the direction in which a thread has been previously wound on the coil, severing the thread between the suction gripper and the winding roller by thread clamping shears while firmly holding a thus severed thread end from the winding roller and setting free a thus severed thread end of the textile coil, swinging the mouth of the suction gripper to the end of the coil core projecting out of the textile coil, releasing the thread end at the coil core, and disposing a length of the thread end of the textile coil as a thread reserve on the coil core.
- 2. Method according to claim 1 wherein releasing the thread end comprises withdrawing the thread end from the suction gripper, and disposing the thread length as a thread reserve comprises winding the thread end around the coil core, and again rotating the coil in the direction in which the thread is wound thereon while the suction gripper is held stationary at the end of the coil core.
- 3. Method according to claim 1 wherein the coil core is hollow, and disposing the thread length as a thread reserve includes blowing the thread end into the hollow coil core.
- 4. In a winding machine, a cop-readying apparatus for performing a method of forming a thread reserve from a thread end of a textile coil fully wound and frictionally driven by a winding roller in a winding device, comprising a coil removing device having coil counter-rotating means for rotating the coil counter to a direction in which a thread has been previously wound on the coil, so as to unwind a given length of the thread, suction gripper means disposed adjacent said coil counter-rotating means and having a mouth variable in position thereof from a thread suction location, at which the given thread length extending from the winding roller to the textile coil previously removed by the coil removing device from the winding device is disposed, to a thread delivery location in vicinity of an end of a coil core of the textile coil, thread clamping shears disposed between said thread suction location and said winding roller, said thread clamping shears being actuatable by said coil removing device for severing said given thread length while firmly holding a thus formed thread end from the winding roller and setting free a thus formed thread end of the textile coil and means including said suction gripper means for disposing a length of the thread end of the textile coil as a thread reserve on the coil core.
- 5. Apparatus according to claim 4 wherein the coil core is hollow, and the hollow-coil core has an end thereof extending out of the coil, and said means including said suction gripper means also include rotating means for rotating the coil in the direction in which the thread is wound thereon to form a thread reserve on the end of the hollow coil core.
- 6. Apparatus according to claim 4 wherein the coil core is hollow, and said suction gripper means includes a device for blowing the thread end into the hollow coil core.
- 7. Apparatus according to claim 4 wherein the coil core is hollow, and wherein said suction gripper means include a device for blowing the thread end into the hollow coil core, and including a screen located at the other end of the coil core facing away from the blowing device for retaining in the hollow-coil core the thread end blown into the same.
- 8. Cop-readying apparatus according to claim 4 wherein said suction gripper means are pivotable and axially shiftable.
