Abstract
A creel relief device (1) for exerting a relatively constant pressure of a cheese (24) on a yarn guide drum (6) in a textile cheese producing machine over the course of building the wound diameter of the cheese. The creel relief device (1) has two meshing toothed segments (10 or 14) respectively disposed on lever elements (8 or 15), one lever element (8) being connected with the creel shaft (7) securely against rotation relative thereto, while the other lever element (15) is pivotably mounted to be acted upon by a prestressed tension spring (19) extending between the lever element (15) and a setting lever (21), which can be locked in different positions for predetermining torque to be applied to the creel.
