Abstract
A device for the axial spacing of spool tubes along a common spool carrier, comprising a rotatable cylindrical spool carrier which has a periphery with a recess therein which accommodates a device which permits passage of a first spool tube over the carrier to a position at which the first spool tube abuts against a stop. The device thereafter projects outwardly from the periphery of the spool carrier behind the first spool tube so as to prevent the second spool tube placed on the carrier from moving further toward the first spool tube and thereby maintains a spacing between the two spool tubes. The spool carrier also carries a recess in the periphery thereof at the location between the two spool tubes which comprises a means for catching the thread which is to be wound.
