YARN SPLICING APPARATUS FOR OPEN END FINE SPINNING FRAME

Japanese Patent JPS5455628

A

The invention relates to apparatus for piecing-up yarn on an open-end spinning machine. A yarn reserve forming member is movable between an extended position, in which it constrains the yarn to follow a prescribed reserve yarn path, and a retracted position, in which the yarn follows another prescribed and shortened path and the end of yarn and its length, which is the difference between the lengths of said prescribed paths, is permitted to return to the spinning means to contact fibres fed thereto. To achieve efficient piecing-up, the yarn moves between such prescribed pathways from one to the other under control of the reserve forming member while the reserve yarn path is in a sense depleted and the yarn is caused by yarn insertion means to be inserted in the delivery roller nip at a predetermined position in the course of movement by the reserve forming member when the latter moves to the retracted position. Preferably, the yarn is engaged by a yarn retaining means when in the extended position from which it is released by the resultant tension in the yarn at the end of the movement of the reserve forming member to the retracted position.
