Axially telescopic coil carrier

Abstract

In an axially telescopic coil carrier comprising a plurality of parts for receiving threads or yarns, wherein carrier elements extending from a respective ring element extend lengthwise of the coil carrier, from a substantially cylindrical surface and are guided for displacement relatively to each other, reinforced sections are provided near the ring members in which adjacent carrier elements are connected to each other by circumferential supporting elements. The free ends of the carrier elements project axially beyond these reinforced sections. At least a part of the supporting element of each coil carrier part projects, at least in that zone of the reinforced section which is remote from the associated ring member, radially no more than into the surfaces on which the inner edges of the free ends of the carrier elements of the adjacent coil carrier part are disposed. The supporting elements thus form radially effective supports for these free ends of the carrier elements. The side faces of the carrier elements of one coil carrier part come to lie against the side faces of the carrier elements of the adjacent coil carrier part, at least each second of the circumferentially juxtaposed carrier elements of two coil carrier parts being provided with radial apertures (FIG. 1).
