Apparatus for joining a yarn, and yarn winding machine and unit including same

摘要

A yarn joining device (43) is adapted to perform a yarn joining operation to join a spun yarn (10) between a spinning device and a package. A yarn-path regulating member (yarn guiding levers 96 and yarn controlling levers 98) is adapted to move between a position of making contact with the spun yarn (10) to bend the spun yarn (10) and a position of releasing the spun yarn (10) . A control section is adapted to control the yarn-path regulating member to make contact with the spun yarn (10) to bend the spun yarn (10) during the yarn joining operation, and to maintain bending of the spun yarn (10) after completion of the yarn joining operation and until at least winding of the spun yarn (10) by the winding device is started.
