  • the ground wire 70 of the present embodiment has a spring property (elasticity). Because the ground wire 70 has a spring property, the ground wire 70 is shortened and the entirety of the wire is attached to the frame 92 when the yarn threading is not performed, with the result that a space for attaching the ground wire 70 is downsized. The ground wire 70 is therefore attached to a location where the wire does not interfere with the yarns 10 passing in front of the frame 92.

  • the yarn threading is performed while the yarn threading assisting tool 60 is moved along one direction which intersects with the front-rear direction in the horizontal plane.
  • the positional relationship between the attaching position of the ground wire 70 to the frame 92 and the yarn threading assisting tool 60 is changed.
  • the ground wire 70 may be warped depending on the positional relationship between the attaching position of the ground wire 70 to the frame 92 and the yarn threading assisting tool 60.
  • the attaching position of the ground wire 70 to the frame 92 is above the take-up unit 4 and the fulcrum guides 13 are provided below the take-up unit 4, and the distance between the attaching position of the ground wire 70 to the frame 92 and the fulcrum guides 13 is relatively long.
  • the warpage of the ground wire 70 is relatively small on the yarn threading operation, and the ground wire 70 is less likely to be caught by a roller of the take-up unit 4 or the like. As such, the present invention is effectively employed.
  • the frame 92 is ferromagnetic and the conductive magnet 71 is fixed to the ground wire 70.
  • the ground wire 70 is conductively attached to the frame 92 by the magnet 71. It is therefore easy to conductively attach the ground wire 70 to the frame 92.
  • the ground wire 70 can be detachably attached to the yarn threading assisting tool 60. It is therefore possible to detach the ground wire 70 from the yarn threading assisting tool 60 when the yarn threading is not performed. The operator who performs the yarn threading is able to carry the yarn threading assisting tool 60. Furthermore, it is possible to use one yarn threading assisting tool 60 for plural spun yarn take-up machines 1.
  • the hook member 72 which can be hooked into the hole 63 of the yarn threading assisting tool 60 is fixed to the ground wire 70. It is therefore easy to detachably attach the ground wire 70 to the yarn threading assisting tool 60.
  • the magnet 71 is fixed to one end portion of the ground wire 70 in order to attach the ground wire 70 to the frame 92.
  • the hook member 72 is fixed to the other end portion of the ground wire 70, which is opposite to the one end portion to which the magnet 71 is fixed.
  • the hook member 72 is intrinsically made of a magnet, or a magnet is attached extrinsically. It is therefore possible to magnetically attach the hook member 72 to the frame 92 in a detachable manner.
  • the entirety of the ground wire 70 can therefore be attached to the frame 92 when the yarn threading is not performed. It is possible to restrain the ground wire 70 from hanging down from the frame 92 and making contact with, for example, the yarns 10 and the rollers of the take-up unit 4, when the yarn threading is not performed.
  • FIG. 7(a) and FIG. 7(b) show a yarn threading assisting tool of the second embodiment of the present invention. While in the embodiment above-mentioned the spun yarn take-up machine 1 includes the ground wire 70, in the present embodiment a yarn threading assisting tool 160 includes a ground wire 170.
  • the spun yarn take-up machine 1 includes the ground wire 70
  • a yarn threading assisting tool 160 includes a ground wire 170.
  • members identical with those in the first embodiment will be denoted by the same reference numerals and the explanations thereof may not be repeated.
  • the yarn threading assisting tool 160 of the present embodiment includes a plate-shaped main body 165 in which retaining grooves 161 and a grip 162 are formed, the ground wire 170 conductively attached to the main body 165, a winding mechanism 175 configured to wind the ground wire 170 extending from the main body 165, and a magnet 171 which is pasted on a casing 175a of the winding mechanism 175.
  • the magnet 171 is conductive, and electricity can be transmitted between the magnet 171 and the ground wire 170.
  • the winding mechanism 175 is not detailed because it is a known mechanism disclosed in, for example, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2005-345107 .
  • the winding mechanism 175 is arranged such that, when an operation button (not illustrated) is not operated, the ground wire 170 drawn out from the casing 175a by an operator is not wound back even if the operator removes a hand from the ground wire 170. When the operation button (not illustrated) is operated, the ground wire 170 having been drawn out is wound back to the casing 175a.
  • the yarn threading assisting tool 160 When yarn threading is not performed, the yarn threading assisting tool 160 is arranged such that the ground wire 170 is wound by the winding mechanism 175, and the yarn threading assisting tool 160 is held by the operator in this state. When yarn threading is not performed, the yarn threading assisting tool 160 may be stored in the vicinity of the spun yarn take-up machine 1. When performing the yarn threading, the operator draws the ground wire 170 out from the casing 175a of the winding mechanism 175 of the yarn threading assisting tool 160 and magnetically fixes the magnet 171 to the frame 92. As a result, electricity becomes transmittable between the ground wire 170 and the frame 92.
  • the ground wire 170 conductively attached to the main body 165 can be conductively attached to the conductive frame 92 of the spun yarn take-up machine 1. It is therefore possible to discharge the static electricity accumulated in the main body 165 of the yarn threading assisting tool 160 to the frame 92 via the ground wire 170, when the operator performs the yarn threading to the fulcrum guides 13 by using the yarn threading assisting tool 160. As a result, it is possible to prevent the operator from receiving an electric shock when performing the yarn threading.
  • the winding mechanism 175 capable of winding the ground wire 170 is provided. Because the ground wire 170 is wound by the winding mechanism 175 when the yarn threading is not performed, the portability of the yarn threading assisting tool 160 is improved.
  • the ground wire 70 may be attached to the frame 92 by another means.
  • the ground wire 70 may be fixed by using a screw.
  • the hook member 72 may be attached to the frame 92 by using another means.
  • a ring-shaped member may be provided on the frame 92 to hook the hook member 72.
  • hook members 271 and 272 are fixed to end portions of a ground wire 270, respectively.
  • the hook member 271 is hooked into a ring-shaped member 274a of the frame 92.
  • the hook member 272 is hooked into a ring-shaped member 275a of the frame 92 when the yarn threading is not performed.
  • the entirety of the ground wire 270 is attached to the frame 92 when the yarn threading is not performed.
  • the hook member 272 is detached from the ring-shaped member 275a and is hooked into the hole 63 of the yarn threading assisting tool 60 in the same manner as in the first embodiment (see FIG. 5 ).
  • the ring-shaped members 274a and 275a and the hook members 271 and 272 are made of a conductive material. On this account, as the hook member 271 is hooked into the ring-shaped member 274a, the ground wire 270 is conductively attached to the frame 92.
  • the hook member 272 may be magnetically attached to the frame 92 in the same manner as in the first embodiment.
  • the first and second embodiments above and the first modification of the first embodiment describe that the ground wire 70 (170, 270) is attached to the frame 92 which is above the take-up unit 4 and the yarn threading portions (fulcrum guides 13 and yarn guides 20 to 24) to which yarns are threaded by the yarn threading assisting tool 60 (160)
  • the fulcrum guides 13 are aligned in a line in the front-rear direction
  • the arrangement direction of the fulcrum guides 13 is not limited to this.
  • the fulcrum guides may be aligned in a line in a direction intersecting with the front-rear direction, or may not be aligned in a line.
  • the ground wire 70 is detachably attached to the yarn threading assisting tool 60 by the hook member 72 (272), the disclosure is not limited to this arrangement.
  • the ground wire 70 is detachably attached to the yarn threading assisting tool 60 by an openable ring-shaped member 372 instead of the hook member 72 (272).
  • the ring-shaped member 372 is formed of two circular-arc-shaped members 372a and 372b. The circular-arc-shaped members 372a and 372b are connected to each other at end portions by a shaft 372c.
  • the ring-shaped member 372 is switched between a closed state in which a ring shape is formed as shown in FIG. 9(a) and an open state in which the ring is partially cut out as shown in FIG. 9(b) , as the circular-arc-shaped members 372a and 372b are rotated about the shaft 372c.
  • the ring-shaped member 372 is opened.
  • the ring-shaped member 372 is closed. This prevents the ground wire 70 from being detached from the yarn threading assisting tool 60 during the yarn threading.
  • the ring-shaped member 372 may not be formed of the two circular-arc-shaped members 372a and 372b.
  • the ring-shaped member may be formed of one circular-arc-shaped member and one rectilinear member, such as a carabiner.
  • the ground wire 70 (270) may not be detachable from the yarn threading assisting tool 60.
  • the hook member 72 (272) may not be attachable to the frame 92.
  • the magnet 171 is pasted onto the casing 175a of the winding mechanism 175, and the ground wire 170 is attached to the frame 92 by magnetically fixing the magnet 171 to the frame 92.
  • means for attaching the ground wire 170 to the frame 92 is not limited to this.
  • the ground wire 170 may be attached to the frame 92 in such a way that a hook member provided on the casing 175a of the winding mechanism 175 is hooked into a ring-shaped member provided on the frame 92.
  • the yarn threading assisting tool 60 may be used to perform yarn threading to at least one of the yarn guides 20 to 24 and the fulcrum guides 13.
  • ground wire 70 has a spring property (elasticity)
  • the ground wire 70 may not have a spring property (elasticity), on condition that the ground wire 70 can be attached to a position where the wire does not interfere with the yarns 10 when the yarn threading is not performed and the ground wire 70 is long enough for the yarn threading.
