Abstract

A textile thread winding operation, includes a method of forming a thread reserve from the thread end of a textile coil wound on a hollow coil core which comprises removing a textile coil from a winding device and slowly rotating the textile coil in direction opposite to the direction in which a thread is wound thereon, pneumatically seizing a thread end of the textile coil with a suction gripper and sucking the thread end into the suction gripper, displacing the suction gripper so that the suction opening thereof is located at the end of the coil core extending out of the textile coil, and releasing the thread end at the coil core.
