Abstract
An arrangement in connection with a spooler which is arranged to wind a reel arranged in the spooler when a fibrous or a ribbon-like material is wound off the reel for a treatment process of the fibre or the ribbon or when a fibrous or a ribbon-like material is wound on the reel, for preventing tangling. The arrangement includes a gripping and cutting mechanism that rotates along with the reel and is arranged to catch and cut the fibre or the ribbon that has broken during the process, at the side of the reel, thus preventing uncoiling and tangling of the reel during un-winding, or the whipping movement of the end of the fibre or the ribbon during winding.
