(under subclass 3) Devices including means for opening a twisted or twined strand having a core, removing the core, inserting a new core, and closing the remaining strands about such new core.
(1) Note. The strand structure is usually untwisted for removal of the old core and retwisted after insertion of the new core, in a continuous operation, in which case the total twisting operation consists of the imposition of a temporary or false twist.
