Abstract
A drive roll has an axis of rotation and at least two rotatable chucks are provided, each being adapted to have a yarn package formed thereon. The chucks each have an axial end and are movable into and out of driven engagement with the drive roll. A traversing arrangement traverses a running yarn which is being wound onto one of the chucks, in order to form a yarn package thereon. A yarn transfer arrangement effects automatic transfer of the running yarn from the one chuck upon forming of the yarn package thereon to the empty other chuck while the latter is in driven engagement with the drive roll. This arrangement includes an arm which is mounted on the drive roll to be turnable about the axis of rotation of the latter and which has a free end portion arranged to travel in a path adjacent the axial end of the other chuck and intersecting the axis of rotation of the other chuck while the same is in engagement with the drive roll.
