  • FIG. 2 schematically shows a Hilfsfadenklemmwalzenplo 51 of an embodiment of a device 1 according to the invention in a side view.
  • FIG. 2 with the same reference numerals as in FIG. 1 designated elements correspond to those of Figure 1, which is why reference is made to the above description of these elements.
  • the auxiliary thread 50 stored in the auxiliary thread storage unit 5 is fed to the auxiliary thread nipping roller pair 51 by means of an auxiliary thread delivery tube 53, whereby destruction of the auxiliary thread 50 during transportation can be largely eliminated.
  • the shape, position and dimension of the auxiliary thread conveying tube 53 can be chosen specifically for this case.
  • the auxiliary thread 50 issuing from the auxiliary thread conveying tube 53, before moving to the auxiliary thread clamping roller pair 51 downstream in the auxiliary thread conveying direction B. is fed through an arranged between the auxiliary thread conveying tube 53 and the auxiliary thread clamping roller pair 51 auxiliary thread guide means 56.
  • the auxiliary thread guiding device 56 is part of a Hilfsfadenchangier adopted 57, by which the auxiliary thread 50 is perpendicular to the auxiliary yarn transport direction B laterally moved back and forth, causing the auxiliary thread 50 does not constantly with the same contact surfaces of the auxiliary thread nip rollers 51a, 51b of the Hilfsfadenklemmwalzenpases 51 comes into contact , A running in of the auxiliary thread clamping rollers 51a, 51b used can thus be avoided.

  • the first auxiliary thread nip roller 51a is profiled and the second auxiliary thread nip roller 51b is gummed.
  • Such a configuration of the auxiliary thread clamping rollers 51a, 51b prevents the auxiliary thread 50 from slipping out of the gap between the auxiliary thread clamping rollers 51a, 51b and also permits gentle transport of the auxiliary thread 50.
  • the second auxiliary thread clamping roller 51b can either be completely made of rubber or only have a rubber coating.
