ABSTRACT:
A winding station for winding textile yarn onto empty tubes is disclosed. The winding station includes a winding mechanism (1) with two flanges (2) for gripping the ends of the tube (8). Each flange is mounted on a pivoted winding arm (6). These arms position the empty tube (8) in contact with a driving roller (14) so that the longitudinal axis of the empty tube (8) is above the longitudinal axis of the driving roller (14). A stationary, linear magazine (4) with a filling end (5) and a feeding end (7) is included. The filling end (5) and the feeding end (7) of the magazine (4) are inclined at angle, alpha, of less than or equal to 45°, to the driving roller (14). A lifting mechanism (11) includes a pivoted arm (9) terminating in a tube carrier (10). The tube carrier (10) is configured to bring an empty tube from the feeding end (7) of the magazine (4) to a space between the flanges (2) by an arc movement of the arm (9). A winding assembly and method are also disclosed.
