Abstract
In an arrangement for the linear measurement and magazine storage of thread ( ) ahead of the pick in looms or textile machines ( ) use is made of thread feed elements ( ) and thread length-measuring elements ( ) together with magazines ( ) designed to store a predetermined length of thread ahead of the pick in the machine. Elements ( ′) reversing parts of the thread are designed to bring about interaction with thread parts between the thread support elements. The reversing elements are designed, during said interaction, to displace thread parts in directions that deviate from the feed direction into the magazine or magazines to a position or positions therein. The reversing elements are designed, after the introduction of read parts into the magazines, to return to their starting positions or home positions. The magazines are designed with devices, which retain parts of the thread in said positions. In this way an effective magazine storage and linear measurement function is obtained, especially for flat thread, which is prevented from twisting or tangling during said functions.
