Abstract

An apparatus for delivering and depositing groups of continuous threads or filaments, which are conveyed by means of a gas flow and which are introduced substantially parallel into a passage having a corresponding cross-section is proposed, the gas flow accompanying the threads upon entering the upper part of the passage is accelerated to high speed and is then decelerated and the threads are deposited on a moving depositing surface. The gas flow delivering the threads flows at high speed through the passage preferably provided with parallel walls and then is decelerated by the suction of part of the gas in the lower passage area laterally through openings in the passage walls.
