Abstract:
A method of feeding thread of a band-like character without twists into a textile machine, said method comprising:releasing the thread from a thread store without twists; supplying the thread without twists into a thread feeding device through a rotating central shaft of the thread feeding device; feeding the thread from the central shaft into a winding element which protrudes outwardly from the central shaft; winding the thread onto a stationary storage drum with the winding element and forming a plurality of thread windings on the storage drum; stationarily supporting the thread against twisting within the central shaft to prevent twists generated during functioning of the thread feeding device from forming within the central shaft and to permit the formation of a single 360Â° twist in each thread winding on the storage drum; and feeding the thread without twists from a position overhead of a withdrawal end of the storage drum to the textile machine.
