Abstract

In the case of an arrangement for transporting at least one thread treated in a thread conditioning plant from a delivery roller pair to a transport belt which takes up the thread in the form of thread loops, an adapter is arranged downstream of the delivery roller pair, with which adapter it is possible to equip the arrangement as required with a stuffer box or an oscillating loop laying device. By simply exchanging an aggregate it becomes possible, depending on the type of operation required, to crimp and heat set threads or to treat uncrimped threads.
