Apparatus is disclosed for bringing into proximity and connecting a quench stack and monomer ring for the melt spinning of synthetic polymer fibers. These members are brought into proximity through use of a reel assembly and are connected by means of a clamping device. The clamp, which is mounted on the quench stack, features a drawpiece comprising a rod. The rod is curved into a “U”shape, the base of which engages with a keeper element and the legs of which describe a circle bend prior to terminating in a threaded shank for mounting to the clamp.

Apparatus for bringing into proximity and connecting a quench stack and the apparatus next upstream of said quench stack, comprising: (A) a first keeper element, which is mounted on said upstream apparatus; (B) a reel assembly, comprising: (1) a reel which is biased to retract and which is mounted to said quench stack; (2) a cable, which is engageable at one end to said first keeper element and which is fastened at its other end to and which retracts by means of said reel; (C) a second keeper element, which is mounted on said upstream apparatus; and (D) a toggle clamp, which is mounted on said quench stack and which comprises a drawpiece, said drawpiece comprising a rod which is curved into a “U”shape, the base of which engages with said second keeper element, each of the legs of said “U”-shaped rod describing a circle bend prior to terminating in a threaded shank for mounting to said clamp, said rod approximating a circle in cross-section, the ratio of the mean diameter of said circle bend to the diameter of said rod ranging from 3 to 5.
