Abstract
A spindle adapted for mounting on the framework of a false twist texturizing machine. The spindle includes a platen having three bosses mounted perpendicularly thereon, the bosses being positioned on the platen to form a triangle. Friction discs are carried on the bosses and overlap one another to define a zig-zag path for the yarn. A two-piece fixed guide tube aligned with the center of the triangle formed by the bosses feeds the yarn into and out from the spindle. A motor pulley is mounted on a lever which pivotally attaches to the platen, the motor pulley being adapted to engage a tangential belt disposed adjacent the platen to impart rotary motion to the pulley. A belt drive interconnects the motor pulley with the bosses to rotate the same. A rod pivots the lever to engage or disengage the motor pulley with the tangential belt and control rotation of the bosses.
