Abstract
The means for storing filamentary material comprises a U-shaped guide, a support which is slidable in the guide and a sensing element, e.g. a light source, which is carried on the support for the coil of yarn being stored. The support and the sensing element are very easily and accurately adjustable and retain the position to which they have been adjusted even during operation and are protected from vibration. Adjustment is facilitated by a fine adjustment means comprising teeth and a gear wheel meshing therein, so that the sensing element can first be moved manually (coarse adjustment) and thereafter be accurately moved into the required end position by means of the gear wheel and teeth (fine adjustment).
