Patent ID: 8152090

Claim:
A method for catching and winding an advancing yarn on a winding tube held by a rotating winding spindle, said method comprising: continuously taking up the advancing yarn with a winding tube; forming a section of the yarn between a first yarn guide and a second yarn guide; guiding the section of the yarn towards a catch element on a periphery of the winding spindle or the winding tube by moving the first yarn guide by a first drive means and a second yarn guide by a second drive means in the axial direction of the rotating winding spindle, wherein the movement of the yarn guides is divided into two movement sections, feeding the yarn section being guided in a first movement section towards the catch element and catching the yarn section with the catch element in a second movement section, wherein the first yarn guide and the second yarn guide are both guided back by a common third drive means in the second movement section and the yarn guides for guiding the yarn section are moved simultaneously at least in the second movement section and wherein an inversion of direction is effected between the first and the second movement sections; wherein feeding the section of the yarn to the catch element occurs by simultaneous movement of the yarn guides.
