ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for securely holding tubes or cones for use in the tufting industry includes first and second support sections which are formed at an acute angle with respect to each other for engaging the inside of a tube or cone. The support sections are in the preferred embodiment formed from resilient wire elements which deflect under pressure that is applied from the inside of the tube or cone, thereby assuring a secure fit. The wire elements forming the second support element further flare outwardly to conform to the shape of a cone. An additional advantageous feature is the provision of a pair of wire loops at a distal end of the second support element to prevent a tube or cone from sliding thereover. The main feature which provides support for the package is the wire portion which connects the loops. This wire portion gives the holder its rigidity when it contacts the creel rod by restraining vertical and horizontal movement of the package.
