ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for folding and banding skeins of yarn is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a conveyor-like transport assembly which moves unfolded skeins of yarn from a loading station to a folding and banding station. The folding station comprises a plurality of co-operating claws, pneumatically controlled, which fold the skein in half and push it through the center of a hollow tubular support member which has positioned around its outer surface a pre-formed paper band. Subsequent to the introduction of the folded skein into the tubular member a doffing mechanism simultaneously removes the folded skein and the pre-formed band from the tubular member, resulting in the band being positioned around the central portion of the folded skein. The apparatus also comprises means for wrapping and sealing band forming slips around the tubular member prior to the introduction of the skein into the tubular member.
