ABSTRACT:
A textile spinning ring for use with a traveler having a yarn-engaging loop extending above a C-shaped ring-engaging traveler body, has means for preventing the yarn from becoming hooked under the traveler body rather than under the loop when the traveler is pieced-up in preparation for spinning. An annular flange configured to conform with the shape of the traveler extends inwardly from the body of the annular ring, the flange presenting a profile lower than the profile of the ring body. A low-profile bridge connects the flange with the ring body, and forms a recess which contains the ends of the traveler body. The flange, bridge and ring body are further configured and dimensioned so that the upper surface of the traveler body is substantially flush with the upper surface of the ring body when the traveler is resting on the flange. When piecing-up the traveler in preparation for spinning, yarn may thus be laid on the upper surface of the ring body, drawn across the upper surface of the traveler body, and hooked under the traveler loop without becoming caught under the traveler body. In an additional embodiment, a segment of the upper surface of the ring body is removed, forming a notch whose upper surface is flush with the recess, allowing piecing-up of a traveler under the ring-engaging traveler body when desired.
