Abstract
A creel for a warping arrangement has a closed circuit carrier with a plurality of pegs for circulating them in a circulation direction. The pegs are adapted to receive thread spools and are distributed along the circulation direction upon the closed circuit carrier. The closed circuit carrier can stop in one of a plurality of predetermined positions to place one or more of the pegs in a thread take-off position. The creel also has a discharge arrangement for discharging the thread spools from those of the pegs arriving at the take-off position, in response to the carrier moving in the circulation direction. The discharge arrangement has a guide with a guide surface. The pegs each have an axial slit. The guide surface is positioned with respect to the carrier to cause the guide surface to protrude into the axial slit of the pegs as successive ones of the pegs move in the circulation direction and into proximity to the guide surface.
