Abstract

To effectively separate a broken end of a thread from a thread winding body a process and associated apparatus is herein proposed according to which at least two air streams are directed along the thread winding body and toward a suction air stream, with the air streams being displaced relative to one another in the peripheral direction of the thread winding body and variably inclined relative to the longitudinal axis of the thread winding body.
