Abstract

The yarn feeder having a plastic housing, preferably made of two clamshells, with a plastic fastening device for connecting the yarn feeder to a retaining device of a textile machine. The fastening device is made rigid by suitable shaping and without the necessity for metal inlays. The two clamshell halves of the housing each have a bearing for a continuous shaft, which on one end carries a yarn guide drum and on its other end carries pulleys for a drive device. Fasteners serve to hold the two housing parts together in the correct position for enabling easy opening of the housing for maintenance.
