With such a configuration, an air flux received by the wall surface 43a becomes larger.

  • a surface area S of such an overlapping region is, for example, smaller than half the size (surface area) of the first opening part 45.
  • size of the first opening part 45 can refer to a surface area of the three-dimensional shaped first opening part 45 projected onto a plane that includes the axial direction D1 and the width direction D3 (the surface area shown on the paper in FIG. 5 ).
  • the surface area S of the overlapping region of the second opening part 46 and the first opening part 45 when viewed from the direction of the straight line L4 can be, for example, smaller than one-third or one-fifth the size of the first opening part 45.

  • the inner surface shape of the pipe main body 41 will be explained below with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8 .
  • the pipe main body 41 includes, for example, a conical-shaped tapered part 47 as the inner surface shape.

In other words, the tapered part 47 is formed toward the second end 41b from the position located 20 mm or more and 30 mm or less in the axial direction D1 with respect to the first end 41a.
  • the first opening part 45 which is the inlet of the injection hole 43, is an elongated hole that extends in the width direction D3 that is orthogonal to the axial direction D1 of the pipe main body 41. Accordingly, an air of a larger flux can be flown in the axial direction D1, compared to a configuration in which an opening part of an injection hole extends longitudinally in the axial direction D1.

  • a yarn end can be untwisted by causing an air of a larger flux to flow in the axial direction D1. While the air flux necessary for untwisting the yarn end can be secured, a pressure of the air to be supplied to the yarn joining device 10 need not be increased. In the above configuration, a desired effect can be achieved from the viewpoint of the air consumption and the energy consumption.

  • each component is symmetrical with respect to that plane. Accordingly, swirling is less likely to occur in the flow of the air that has flown into the pipe main body 41 from the second opening part 46.

  • the air flown inside the pipe main body 41 from the injection hole 43 is less likely to swirl in a predetermined direction inside the pipe main body 41. Accordingly, the air flown from the first opening part 45 can be stably flown inside the pipe main body 41, and untwisting of the yarn end can be performed more efficiently. In other words, loss of flux of the air flown from the first opening part 45 can be prevented.

  • a cross-sectional surface area of the air passage can be increased compared to a configuration in which an internal radius of a pipe main body 41 is uniform. Accordingly, the air can be flown from the first end 41a toward the second end 41b, the yarn end can be sucked from the first end 41a, and the sucked yarn end can be untwisted easily.
