Abstract
Rotating sleeves having a body for receiving a yarn sleeve. The body has a side extension forming a flank piece. The flank piece is deformable such that a transverse dimension, for example, the greatest radial transverse dimension, of the body is reduced. The flank piece is generally plate-shaped with opposite edges forming the side edge of the body. Since the flank piece with the yarn sleeve is deformable, it reduces the transverse dimension of the body and thereby allows for yarn sleeves with small diameters to be slipped on easily.
