Abstract

A yarn winding apparatus for winding each of a plurality of continuously advancing yarns to a package. The packages are wound on a winding spindle rotatably mounted in cantilever fashion on a movable spindle support. A stationary holding device is provided which is adapted for engaging the free end of the winding spindle without impeding the rotation of the winding spindle, so as to support the winding spindle at its free end with a holding force during the winding of the packages. Also, the winding spindle and the holding device can be joined to each other by two coupling elements without impeding the movement of the winding spindle which occurs during the winding operation to accommodate the build of the package.
