Paper textile yarn package and blank

Abstract

A textile paper yarn package that has a hollow body with opposing open ends, and formed of a paper blank having an outer end edge positioned on an exterior surface of the body and an inner end edge positioned on an interior surface of the body. The outer end edge of the paper blank forms a lap seam that extends in a spiral shape around a predetermined extent of the exterior of the body as it extends between the opposing open ends of the body of the package.

A textile paper yarn package, comprising a hollow body having opposing open ends, and formed of a paper blank having an outer end edge positioned on an exterior surface of the body and an inner end edge positioned on an interior surface of the body, wherein the outer end edge of the paper blank forms a lap seam that extends in a spiral shape around a predetermined extent of the exterior of the body as it extends between the opposing open ends of the body of the package. 
     
     
         2 . A textile paper yarn package according to  claim 1 , wherein the yarn package is a cone. 
     
     
         3 . A textile paper yarn package according to  claim 2 , wherein the lap seam that extends in a spiral around the exterior of the body defines at least a 90-degree arc. 
     
     
         4 . A textile paper yarn package according to  claim 2 , wherein the lap seam that extends in a spiral around the exterior of the body defines a 270-degree arc. 
     
     
         5 . A textile paper yarn cone, comprising a hollow body having opposing open ends, and formed of a paper blank having an outer end edge positioned on an exterior surface of the body and an inner end edge positioned on an interior surface of the body, wherein the outer end edge of the paper blank forms a lap seam that extends in a spiral around a predetermined extent of the exterior of the body of at least 90 degrees as it extends between the opposing open ends of the body of the package. 
     
     
         6 . A textile paper yarn cone according to  claim 5 , wherein the lap seam that extends in a spiral around the exterior of the body defines a 270-degree arc. 
     
     
         7 . A textile paper yarn cone according to  claim 5 , and having an angle of taper of at least 1 degree. 
     
     
         8 . A textile paper yarn cone according to  claim 5 , and having an angle of taper of at least 1 degree and no more than 10 degrees. 
     
     
         9 . A textile paper yarn cone according to  claim 5 , and having an angle of taper selected from the group of angles consisting of 1 degree, 51 minutes; 3 degrees, 30 minutes; 3 degrees, 51 minutes; 4 degrees, 20 minutes; 5 degrees, 32 minutes; 5 degrees, 57 minutes; 7 degrees, 22 minutes; 9 degrees, 15 minutes; and 9 degrees, 36 minutes. 
     
     
         10 . A textile paper yarn cone blank, comprising a paper strip having inner and outer curved sides and opposed end edges, wherein the curved outer side defines an arc of at least 50 degrees and no more than 120 degrees, and further wherein, when wound onto a conical spindle, forms a textile paper yarn package comprising a hollow body having opposing open ends having an outer end edge positioned on an exterior surface of the body and an inner end edge positioned on an interior surface of the body, the outer end edge of the paper blank forming a lap seam that extends in a spiral around a predetermined extent of the exterior of the body as it extends between the opposing open ends of the body of the package. 
     
     
         11 . A textile paper yarn package blank according to  claim 10 , wherein the lap seam that extends in a spiral around the exterior of the body defines at least a 90-degree arc. 
     
     
         12 . A textile paper yarn package blank according to  claim 10 , wherein the lap seam that extends in a spiral around the exterior of the body defines a 270-degree arc. 
     
     
         13 . A textile paper yarn package blank according to  claim 10 , and having opposing end edges that extend at an angle of between 50 degrees and 120 degrees relative to each other.
