  • the magnetic bobbin seater comprises a magnetized member and a non-magnetized member so arranged for establishing a magnetic circuit which passes through the magnetized member, partially through the spindle and through the lower portion of the bobbin for magnetically seating the bobbin on the spindle for yarn processing and which permits easy breaking of the magnetic seating for easy doffing of the bobbin from the spindle.
  • This invention relates to a textile bobbin and spindle assembly in which a prior, specifically constructed spindle incorporates the improvement of a magnetic bobbin seater thereon.
  • This seating surface was utilized for receiving and seating the bobbin on the spindle.
