ABSTRACT:
A creel adapter is provided for the securing of yarn spooled on parallel and tapered type yarn package tubes which are to be placed into position for further processing in the carpet industry. The entire device rests on a base plate which contains a hole suitable for a passing shaft, thus connecting the device to existing machinery. The adapter consists of a rear hub with six heavy ribs which secure parallel type tube yarn packages. The rounded ends of the ribs allow badly damaged parallel type tube ends to pass over and slide to the rear flange of the base plate. Tapered type tube yarn packages are positioned so that the larger end of the tube rests centered on the base of a conical portion of the creel adapter hub, while a circumference on the inner diameter of the upper portion of the cone rests tangent with the outer diameter of the top of a protruding tube on the adapter device. Three whiskers stemming from the protruding tube cut into the inner diameter of the tapered type tube as it is pushed into position, thus preventing forward creep of the yarn package (no rotation). The three whiskers are of sufficient length and resilience to put pressure on the inner diameter of the parallel type tubes as they are placed in position.
