Abstract

The device for the storing of filamentary material contains a thread storage and a feed nozzle associated with it, the thread storage having a thread carrier which rotates past the feed nozzle and the feed nozzle being arranged fixed in position and rigid; and the depositing of the thread (S.sub.1, S.sub.2, S.sub.3) on the thread carrier takes place in the form of thread packages (P.sub.1, P.sub.2, P.sub.3) which consist of partially superimposed turns so that the length of the thread package (P.sub.1, P.sub.2, P.sub.3) and thus of the entire storage can be kept small, so that the storage is particularly suitable for looms, especially when using so-called mixers. The thread carrier is preferably covered by a small plate at the point of the formation of the thread packages, and the thread packages are deposited in the space between the thread carrier and the plate. In this way the thread packages are fixed on the thread carrier and the individual turns cannot entangle or move relative to each other, so that the device is also excellent for heavy yarn.
