Abstract An apparatus for inserting a yarn tail into operating position within the spinning head of a device for performing open end yarn spinning which comprises a first elongated hollow member of a length greater than the length of the spinning head so that it can be extended completely therethrough, a second elongated member at least as long as the first member, the second member being located within the first member and being reciprocable with respect thereto, operator means attached to said first and second members at one end thereof to effect longitudinal movement of the second member with respect to the first member, and means on the end of said second elongated member opposite the operator means cooperable with said first elongated member to hold the yarn tail therebetween when inserting yarn into a spinning head.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
147 words
An apparatus for inserting a yarn tail into operating position within the spinning head of a device for performing open end yarn spinning, said apparatus comprising a first elongated hollow member of a length greater than the length of the spinning head so that it can be extended completely therethrough, a second elongated member at least as long as said first member, said second member being located within said first member and being reciprocable with respect thereto, operator means attached to said first and second members at one end thereof to effect longitudinal movement of said second member with respect to said first member, and enlarged means on the end of said second elongated member opposite said operator means of such a size as to engage the end of said first elongated hollow member and hold the yarn tail therebetween when inserting it into a spinning head.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
147 words
An apparatus for inserting a yarn tail into operating position within the spinning head of a device for performing open end yarn spinning, said apparatus comprising a first elongated hollow member of a length greater than the length of the spinning head so that it can be extended completely therethrough, a second elongated member at least as long as said first member, said second member being located within said first member and being reciprocable with respect thereto, operator means attached to said first and second members at one end thereof to effect longitudinal movement of said second member with respect to said first member, and enlarged means on the end of said second elongated member opposite said operator means of such a size as to engage the end of said first elongated hollow member and hold the yarn tail therebetween when inserting it into a spinning head.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
31 words
An apparatus as defined in claim 1 wherein said operator means includes a handle and an actuator means secured to the end of said second member for effecting reciprocating movement thereof.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
52 words
An apparatus as defined in claim 2 wherein said operator means includes spring biasing means operably disposed between said handle and said actuator means to urge said actuator means away from said handle and maintain the means on the end of said second elongated member in contact with said first elongated member.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
43 words
The apparatus as defined in claim 2 wherein said handle has at least one guide recess therein, said actuator means including at least one guide means which engages said guide recess, thereby limiting turning of the said members with respect to each other.
