ABSTRACT:
A yarn package adapter having an adjustable base for receiving and engaging a package of strand material wound about an elongate hollow core. The adapter includes a central shaft adapted to be mounted to the creel and having means mounted on the central shaft for engaging the inside diameter of the package core. The adapter also includes a base having an aperture for receiving the central shaft therealong and for forming a sliding abutment for engaging an end of the package core and a releasable locking mechanism attached to the base for engaging the central shaft and preventing movement of the base along the shaft. The locking mechanism includes a generally planar elongate strip having an aperture for receiving the central shaft and means for attaching one end of the strip to the base and biasing means located between the elongate strip and the base for forcing the other end of the strip away from the base, whereby the inner surface of the aperture releasably engages the surface of the central shaft and prevents movement of the base along the shaft. The adapter further includes a length of tubular material for restricting the movement of the base along the central shaft, thereby preventing the base from contacting the means mounted on the central shaft for engaging the inside diameter of the package core.
