Abstract

A wax body is rotatably and slidably mounted on a guide pin which, in turn, is pivotally mounted about a horizontal axis. The guide pin and wax body are movable between a working position in which a yarn is run between the wax body and a stop on the guide pin and an idling position in which the wax body and guide pin are moved out of the path of the yarn. Yarn piecing up can be accomplished when the apparatus is in the idling position without interference from the wax body.
