ABSTRACT:
A creel is provided for a textile machine, the creel including a frame mounted in a C-shaped support structure so as to be pivotal about its vertical central axis. The frame defines four spaces on each of three levels. In each space are pivotally mounted a pair of mutually spaced package support arms which are movable between two operative positions offset towards each side of the space so that a larger diameter reserve package can only be accomodated on one package arm when the in-use package on the other package arm of that pair has been used sufficiently to reduce its diameter significantly. This enables large packages to be used in a creel of lower height than would otherwise be required, to reduce package handling problems. The new package can be put into the creel when the in-use package is of sufficiently small diameter and since both packages are mounted in operative positions transfer of yarn unwinding can be made to the new package on expiry of the in-use package without the attendance of the machine operator.
