Abstract

A texturing machine is described which consists of a plurality of processing-points for thermoplastic threads. A feed bobbin, a first delivery mechanism, an elongated first heating device, an elongated cooling device, a false-twist unit, a second delivery mechanism and also a winding-up device are arranged at each processing-point. In this connection several feed bobbins are arranged above one another in a creel frame, and several winding-up devices are arranged above one another in a winding frame. The first delivery mechanism, the heater and the cooling device are located above the frames. In order to guarantee a careful course of the thread as well as operability, the first delivery mechanism is arranged together with a drive in an operational position directly upstream of the inlet of the first heating device. In this connection it is possible, with a view to piecing a thread, for the first delivery mechanism with or without the drive to be adjusted in its location into an operating position below the operational position in such a way that the delivery mechanism is not capable of being driven in the operating position.
