Abstract

The invention relates to an apparatus for the continuous production and laying down of yarn loops, in which the yarn loops are introduced onto a lap body by a revolving lap flyer and are transferred from the lap body onto a belt conveyor. To ensure yarn is laid down onto the belt conveyor without stretching, so that it can be drawn off again from above from the conveyor without obstruction, the lap body is a rotationally symmetrical body rotating about its axis of symmetry, the axis of rotation of the lap body extends transversely both to the axis of rotation of the lap flyer and to the running direction of the belt conveyor, and the lap body is driven so that its direction of rotation where it faces the belt conveyor is the same as the running direction of the conveyor.
