ABSTRACT:
A latch member for a creel assembly is disclosed. The latch is constructed of a generally flat plate, with upstanding side entrance and exit portions. A V-shaped slot is provided in the flat portion of the plate, and a mount is provided at an upper end of the latch to allow the latch to hang freely and rotate in a plane, and be mounted to a support member of a creel assembly. A stub shaft is mounted in the plane to an adjacent support for the creel arm so that when the creel is lowered, the latch member falls upon the stub shaft, which enters the V-shaped slot. When an empty bobbin is replaced in the creel, the weight of the bobbin causes the latch member to disengage from the V-shaped slot.
