Abstract
A yarn feeding device including a storage drum for a yarn supply and a sensor device located outside the storage drum in a sensor housing. The sensor device includes several movably mounted sensor arms, each of which extends from an axis with a sensor arm carrying a sensor base to the yarn supply on the storage drum where it can be moved out of a home position. The yarn feeding device further includes a spring system which impinges on the sensor arm, as well as a signal-generating device for detecting the position of the sensor arm. The sensor arms and their sensor arm parts are mounted on a common axis.
