the winding body 5 realized eg by the construction of japanese patent 43 377 91 the clearance in between the body and the part 16 is variable at the spot of stopping device 19 this can be seriously disadvangeous because as is stated above the thread that is drawn off the winding body 5 receives a to large 34 bend 34 easily resulting in the above mentioned disadvantages this problem is solved according to the invention by moving the receiving cylinder 16 and the stopping body in a direction almost perpendicular to the axis of the winding body 5 as indicated by the arrow 21 in this way the clearance in between the body 5 and the part 16 at the site of the stopping device can be kept constant on the other hand the clearance in between the body 5 and the receiving cylinder 16 opposite the stopping body can increase or decrease but this is no problem because no stopping body is present at that spot although it is possible to move stopping body 19 and receiving cylinder 16 independently it is preferred with respect to the simplicity of the construction and its adjustment to connect the stopping body 19 and the receiving cylinder 16 with each other in fig1 and 14 indicate a positioning device as described by the dutch patent application 920 1436 published 1st mar 1994 this part is not essential for the present invention in fig2 is a discshaped device that is positioned.
