Abstract

A leasing device including at least one first part connected to a frame element of a reeler and at least one second part including a mechanism for depositing and guiding at least one thread. The first part and the second part are connected to one another such that the second part occupies a first working position, in which the thread can be deposited in the form of a reel, and a second position, in which the second part is separated from the first part, corresponding to a maintenance phase of the second part.

Claims (9)

1. A leasing device configured to approach or retreat from an outer surface of a thread reel, comprising:

at least one first part connected to a frame element of a reeler;

at least one second part comprising a device for depositing and guiding at least one thread, the first part and second part being connected to one another such that the second part occupies a first working position, in which the thread can be deposited in a form of a reel, and a second position, in which the second part is separated from the first part, corresponding to a maintenance phase of the second part, the second part being interchangeable; and

wherein the leasing device further comprises a cleaning fluid spray device and the first and second parts each comprises a mating water connector to allow fluid to flow through the water connectors between the first and second parts when the first and second parts are in the first working position.

2. The leasing device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first part and the second part comprise complementary guide means for allowing a relative movement between the first position and the second position of the second part.

3. The leasing device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the guide means comprises at least one rail projecting in the region of the first part and, in the region of the second part, at least one groove configured to cooperate with the rail.

4. The leasing device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the first and second parts comprise interlocking means for releasing the guide means when the second part of the leasing device is in the working position.

5. The leasing device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second part comprises at least one grooved cylindrical cam to allow to-and-fro function of at least one thread guide, the at least one thread guide being guided in translational motion between two strips parallel to the axis of the cam.

6. The leasing device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the mating water connectors prevent fluid from flowing between the first and second parts when the first and second parts are in the second position.
