Abstract
This invention relates to apparatus for receiving and mounting or supporting strand material packages formed by winding strand materials such as textile strands about hollow elongate cores. The apparatus has a central shaft and a plurality of sets of finger members and connecting link members mounted for movement relative to the shaft. Each set makes up, together with the shaft, a five bar linkage in which the connecting link forms an engaging means which moves into engagement with the inside surface of an elongate hollow package core as the strand material package wound about the core is mounted for use.
