Original application filed April 14, 1920, Serial No. 373,950. Divided and thislapplicati'on filed September T all whom it may concern Be it known that I, Trroams ANDREW, a subject of the King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and resident 5 of 492 Manchester Road, Roohdale, in the county of Lancaster, England, have invented new and useful Improvements in Yarn Packages, of which the following is a specification.

This application is a division of application No. 37 3,950, filed April 14, 1920.

The object of this invention is to make more easy, convenient and expeditious than it has hitherto been the attachment of the last wound end of the yarn of one yarn package such as a bobbin, cop or the like to the first wound end of another for the placing of .yarn packages one after another in creels with-the beginning o f-each attached to the end of another and continuous running off or unwinding of one yarn package after another. To this end, the invention consists in yarn packages provided with securely fixed coils of yarn wound on the yarn holders such for example as wood or other bob-bins, tubes, or skewers previously to the ordinary windings or coils of the bottoms of first wound portions of the ordinary formation of the yarn packages so 30 as to be furnished with portions of yarn readily found and unwound for attachment to the last wound ends of the yarn of other yarn packages.

The accompanying drawing is a diagrammatic side elevation of the lower part of a bobbin with yarn wound upon it below and previously to the ordinary windings forming the bottom of the bobbin.

The accompanying drawing shows the end 1 of yarn led to the yarn holder, in the case shown a bobbin, as secured in position wound on the yarn holder 2 and then an upwardly wound coil. 4 being wound, over it and the end 5 of yarn extending from the upwardly wound coil 4: being led to and wound in the bottom 6 of the ordinary windings of yarn on the yarn holder 2. By

the ends 1 and 5 of yarn being secured reholder 2 and preserved from unwinding or breakage in the handling or carriage of the yarn packages until required for use.

According to this invention therefore coils or windings of opposite hand are wound one to overlap another on yarn holders previously to the commencement of the coils or windings of the bottoms or like parts of yarn packages, such as bobbins, so as to be on parts of the yarn holders to project from the completed yarn packages at the ends at which winding was begun, so that the earlier wound coil or winding secures the end of yarn first led to the yarn holder and is itself secured by a later coil or winding of opposite hand and the last overlapping coil is secured by the yarn forming its end porloose: projecting easily accessible end of yarn I continuing into and having its immediate continuation overlapped and secured by securely fixed 0011s of yarn wound on the,
