SUPPORT FOR A STRAND MATERIAL HOLDER | 5 |
| 20100090050 | MODULAR CREEL - A portable creel for organizing yarn packages and directing yarn to a tufting machine. A portable creel provides flexibility for carpet manufactures in that operators can pre-load portable creels with yarn packages for future runs and move them into position when needed. In one aspect, the portable creel comprises an outer frame and a movable inner frame. The inner frame is configured to hold a plurality of yarn packages and the outer frame comprises a plurality of tubes configured to direct the yarn from the yarn packages to a header. The header, in turn, directs the yarn from the portable creel to specific portions of a tufting machine. | 04-15-2010 |
| 20090026298 | Creel Loading and Relieving Device for a Winding Device of a Textile Machine Producing Cross-Wound Bobbins - A creel loading and relieving device for a winding device of a textile machine producing crosswound bobbins adjusts the contact pressure of a take-up bobbin mounted in a creel on a driving roll. The creel loading and relieving device comprises a creel pivotally mounted via a creel shaft and a force applying means which grips the creel and is adjustable via a positioning element. The creel loading and relieving device ( | 01-29-2009 |
| 20090101742 | CREEL MAGAZINE SUPPLY SYSTEM AND METHOD - A creel magazine for delivering packaged stranded material to a creel. The magazine includes magazine frame having guides for directing stranded materials to a creel or manufacturing process. Movable magazine cartridges rotatably support packages of stranded materials and are positioned on either side of the magazine frame. The apparatus and method provide for sequential delivery of stranded materials by alternating delivery sources between cartridges, intermediate replenishment of spent packages by rotation of a full package to a delivery position, and replenishment of spent cartridges. | 04-23-2009 |
| 20110017855 | Thread spool and bobbin holder - A thread spool holding device has a plastic base plate that holds a series of preferably soft plastic spindles that can be introduced or removed from the base and can be arranged as needed by sliding along a slotted track of the base. Each spindle can hold a threaded spool and has a cross sectional configuration for gripping the center hole of the spool. The spindle ends can also hold a bobbin in tandem with a thread spool. | 01-27-2011 |
| 20090108114 | Portable and adjustable reeled wire dispenser - A portable and adjustable reeled wire dispenser having a base platform with first and second side walls extending upwardly from the base platform and a plurality of adjustable rotatable members for accommodating various reel sizes to assist an individual in the installation of electric, cable wire or other material. | 04-30-2009 |
| 242157000 |
STRAND GUIDE | 5 |
| 20090039189 | YARN TRAVERSE GUIDE - A yarn traverse guide in which a plurality of yarn guides having yarn introducing openings and yarn introducing passages formed continuously from the yarn introducing openings are disposed at intervals so that the positions of the yarn introducing openings are not overlapped with each other. | 02-12-2009 |
| 20130087646 | Supporting and Guiding Device for Feeding Lines for Digging Tools - A device for supporting and guiding supplying lines used with a digging tool on a drilling machine is described. The device comprises a support branch, formed by a plurality of spacers, adjacent to one another in which a rope or tie-rod is inserted in a housing comprised in the spacers, a supplying pipe for the supplying line and a crosspiece comprising a seat adapted to support the supplying pipe. Each pair of adjacent spacers comprises retaining means. Each retaining means comprises a retaining element, associated to a first spacer of a pair of adjacent spacers, and a slot having a shape substantially matching the shape of the retaining element, associated to a second spacer of the pair of adjacent spacers. A retaining element, during use, engages with a slot allowing relative axial movement, in the longitudinal direction of the rope, of a predetermined amount. | 04-11-2013 |
| 20080296426 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MANAGING FLEXIBLE LINES - An apparatus for managing flexible lines has first and second spool members secured together by a hinge which allows the spool members to be folded between an open condition in which the spool members are in co-planar, side-by-side positions and a folded, closed condition in which the spool members are folded towards one another until they are aligned and substantially face-to-face. Each spool member has a groove extending in an at least substantially continuous loop which receives successive windings of a line or strip as it is wound in a figure eight pattern between the two spool members in an open condition. When winding is complete, the spool members can be folded together into the folded, closed condition. | 12-04-2008 |
| 20080315023 | Device and Method For Forming Elongated Material - This invention relates to a device and a method for forming elongated material. A device ( | 12-25-2008 |
| 20120280072 | String-Guiding Structure for an Automatic Curtain-Reeling Device - A string-guiding structure for an automatic curtain-reeling device in accordance with the present invention substantially has an arc guiding frame pivotally attached at an entrance for a string corresponding to a connecting pin to make the string extending via a limiting space defined between the arc guiding frame and the connecting pin. Therefore, the string is trimmed and depressed to avoid being seized caused by over-rebound or swing of the string and to make the string to work smoothly. | 11-08-2012 |

HOLDER FOR COILED STRAND | 2 |
| 20090008492 | Wire caddy - The wire caddy is designed to hold single or multiple spools of electrical wire commonly used in the building trades. This device allows wire spools to be inserted onto a support shaft and retained onto the support shaft by insertion of a retaining pin through retaining pin holes in the end of the support shaft. Wire is guided off the spool through a guide hole in the support bracket. | 01-08-2009 |
| 20090108113 | WIRE RACK - A wire rack includes: a pair of opposite supporting arms, each of which has opposite first and second ends; a connecting member interconnecting the supporting arms; a pair of opposite first confining arms extending respectively from the first ends of the supporting arms in opposite directions; a pair of pivot joints; and a pair of opposite second confining arms pivoted to the second ends of the supporting arms through the pivot joints, respectively, and rotatable relative to the supporting arms between a first angular position, in which each adjacent pair of the first and second confining arms cooperate with the respective one of the supporting arms to form into a U-shaped structure, and a second angular position, in which each of the second confining arms and the respective one of the supporting arms extend from the respective one of the pivot joints in opposite directions. | 04-30-2009 |
