Abstract
A textile winder has manually actuatable yarn air splicers mounted on the winder closely adjacent the path of travel of the yarn from its source to the yarn package being wound. The yarn air splicers mainly serve for connecting the yarn from the trailing end of the relatively large package being wound to the leading end of the yarn from the source of supply, such as skeins of yarn carried by a creel. A yarn end severing means is mounted adjacent each yarn air splicer for severing the ends of the yarn to be spliced so as to obtain substantially coextensive yarn ends for facilitating splicing and obtaining more effective splicing. Manually performed methods of operation of the yarn air splicer and associated yarn end severing means by the winder attendant are also disclosed.
