Definitions
- the present invention relates to a heater configured to heat yarns.
- Patent Literature 1 Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2002-194631 discloses a heater provided in a false-twist texturing machine (textile machine) configured to false-twist a running yarn.
- the heater includes a sheathed heater (heat source), a heating body (heating unit) extending in a predetermined extending direction, and a contact plate (yarn contact member) attached to the heating unit and heated by the heat source.
- the yarn contact member has a yarn contact surface that is curved to ensure contact with a yarn. With this arrangement, the yarn running while being in contact with the yarn contacted surface is heated by heat conduction.
- the yarn contact surface of the yarn contact member may be thermally treated (e.g., nitriding treatment) in order to, for example, suppress abrasion of the yarn contact surface.
- the yarn contact member is unintentionally deformed due to the thermal treatment, and the curvature of the yarn contact surface may be significantly different from an intended curvature.
- the shape of each yarn contact member after the deformation due to the thermal treatment may be significantly different between the yarn contact members.
- the quality of the yarn heated by making contact with the yarn contact surface may be different between the yarn contact members. This problem may occur in both newly-manufactured heaters and existing heaters.
- An object of the present invention is to suppress variations in shape between yarn contact members both in newly-manufactured heaters and in existing heaters.
- the other-side regulating portion make it possible to roughly set the position of the yarn contact member in the first direction.
- the correction force is applied to the yarn contact member by the shape correction member, with the result that the shape of the yarn contact member is corrected.
- the shape correction member is formed of a member different from a member of which the other-side regulating portion is formed.
- the heater of the first aspect is arranged such that the yarn contact member holding portion holds the at least one yarn contact member to be detachable from and attachable to the attaching portion.
- a member making contact with a running yarn typically needs to be cleaned regularly or irregularly.
- the heater may be provided at a position higher than the height of a cleaning operator.
- the aspect of the present invention makes it possible to detach the yarn contact member from the attaching portion when the yarn contact member is cleaned. The efficiency in cleaning of the yarn contact member is therefore improved.
- the heater of the second aspect is arranged such that the attaching portion includes a detachment/attachment passage which is provided on one side in the first direction of the at least one other-side regulating portion and allows the at least one yarn contact member to pass through in the first direction when the at least one yarn contact member is attached or detached, a correction member holding unit is provided to hold the shape correction member to be movable relative to the at least one yarn contact member, and the shape correction member is movable between a pressing position where the pressing surface is provided in the detachment/attachment passage and in contact with the at least one yarn contact member and a non-pressing position where the pressing surface is provided outside the detachment/attachment passage and is not in contact with the at least one yarn contact member.
- the attaching portion includes a detachment/attachment passage which is provided on one side in the first direction of the at least one other-side regulating portion and allows the at least one yarn contact member to pass through in the first direction when the at least one yarn contact member is attached or detached
- the attaching portion may be arranged so that, for example, the yarn contact member is detached by pulling out the yarn contact member from the attaching portion in the lengthwise direction whereas the yarn contact member is attached by pushing the yarn contact member into the attaching portion in the lengthwise direction.
- This arrangement is disadvantageous in that a long space for attachment and detachment must be provided to be adjacent to the heater in the lengthwise direction, and this hugely restricts the layout around the heater.
- the yarn contact member is attached to and detached from the attaching portion by moving the yarn contact member in the first direction. In this case, a long space that is adjacent to the heater in the lengthwise direction is unnecessary. It is therefore possible to suppress the layout around the heater from being restricted.
- the heater of the third aspect is arranged such that the correction member holding unit holds the shape correction member to be detachable from and attachable to the attaching portion.
- the shape correction member can be detached from the attaching portion and separated from the attaching portion.
- the detaching/attaching operation of detaching or attaching the yarn contact member from or to the attaching portion is performed, the detaching/attaching operation of detaching or attaching the yarn contact member is less likely to be obstructed as compared to a case where the shape correction member at the non-pressing position is provided to be close to the attaching portion.
- the heater of the third or fourth aspect is arranged such that the correction member holding unit includes: a swing supporter which supports the shape correction member to be swingable about a swing shaft that is provided at a one-side end portion on one side in the extending direction of the attaching portion and extends in the second direction; and a switching unit which is provided at an other-side end portion on the other side in the extending direction of the attaching portion and is switchable between a permissive state in which swing of the shape correction member is permitted and a prohibited state in which swing of the shape correction member at the pressing position is prohibited.
- the shape correction member may be screwed to the attaching portion, for example. In this case, however, screws must be fixed to the attaching portion at plural positions in the extending direction. On this account, when the shape correction member is moved from the pressing position to the non-pressing position, the screws must be loosened at plural parts in the extending direction or must be detached from the attaching portion. In this way, the operator is required to perform such a tiresome operation.
- the shape correction member is movable between the pressing position and the non-pressing position only by swinging the shape correction member. Furthermore, it is possible to allow or prohibit the swing of the shape correction member only by operating the switching unit. The time and labor of the operator are therefore reduced.
- the heater of the fifth aspect is arranged such that the switching unit includes: a first engaging member which is attached to one of the attaching portion and the shape correction member; a second engaging member which is attached to the other of the attaching portion and the shape correction member and is switchable between an engaging position in which the second engaging member is engaged with the first engaging member so that the switching unit is in the prohibited state and a cancellation position in which engagement with the first engaging member is canceled so that the switching unit is in the permissive state; and an operation member which is operated so as to move the second engaging member between the engaging position and the cancellation position.
- the heater of the sixth aspect is arranged such that the second engaging member is rotatably attached to the other of the attaching portion and the shape correction member and is movable between the engaging position and the cancellation position by being rotated.
- This aspect of the present invention makes it possible to downsize the space required for the movement of the second engaging member, as compared to an arrangement in which the second engaging member moves, for example, in a parallel manner. It is therefore possible to avoid the increase in size of the switching unit.
- the heater of the seventh aspect is arranged such that the operation member includes a handle portion which is arranged to be rotatable together with the second engaging member.
- the operator can easily move the second engaging member between the engaging position and the cancellation position only by operating the handle portion.
- the heater of the eighth aspect is arranged such that a state of the handle portion is changeable between a first state indicating that the second engaging member is at the engaging position and a second state indicating that the second engaging member is at the cancellation position and being different from the first state.
- the heater of the eighth or ninth aspect is arranged such that the engaging position includes a first engaging position that is different from the cancellation position by a predetermined angle in a predetermined rotational direction and a second engaging position that is different from the cancellation position by the predetermined angle in a reverse direction opposite to the predetermined rotational direction, and the cancellation position includes a first cancellation position that is different from the engaging position by the predetermined angle in the predetermined rotational direction and a second cancellation position that is different from the engaging position by the predetermined angle in the reverse direction.
- the operation of the operation member for moving the second engaging member between the engaging position and the cancellation position can be done in the same manner regardless of the dominant hand of the operator.
- the heater of any one of the third to tenth aspects is arranged such that the yarn contact member holding portion includes: a first one-side regulating portion which restricts movement of a portion of the at least one yarn contact member attached to the attaching portion toward the one side in the first direction, the portion being on one side of the shape correction member in the extending direction; and a second one-side regulating portion which restricts movement of another portion of the at least one yarn contact member attached to the attaching portion toward the one side in the first direction, the another portion being on the other side of the shape correction member in the extending direction.
- This aspect of the present invention makes it possible to hold the yarn contact member by the other-side regulating portion, the first one-side regulating portion, and the second one-side regulating portion even when the shape correction member is at the non-pressing position. On this account, unintentional drop off of the yarn contact member from the attaching portion is prevented when the shape correction member is moved from the pressing position to the non-pressing position.
- the heater of the eleventh aspect is arranged such that the first one-side regulating portion and the second one-side regulating portion are capable of restricting movement of the at least one yarn contact member toward the other side in the first direction.
- the shapes of parts (hereinafter, both outer parts) of the yarn contact member which are outside the first one-side regulating portion and the second one-side regulating portion and outside the shape correction member in the extending direction, may not be sufficiently corrected.
- the aspect of the present invention makes it possible to keep the both outer parts to positionally fall within a predetermined range in the first direction. As a result of this, the shape of the yarn contact surface is further close to the optimal shape.
- the heater of any one of the third to twelfth aspects is arranged such that the yarn contact member holding portion includes an elastic deformation holding portion which includes the at least one other-side regulating portion and is capable of holding the at least one yarn contact member attached to the attaching portion so that the at least one yarn contact member is elastically deformed in the first direction, no matter whether the shape correction member is at the pressing position or at the non-pressing position.
- the yarn contact member to which no force is applied can be held in a state of roughly elastically deformed by the elastic deformation holding portion.
- the shape of the yarn contact member before the correction by the shape correction member is therefore arranged to more or less correspond to the pressing surface in advance. It is therefore possible to correct the shape of the yarn contact member with a small force as compared to a case where the shape of the yarn contact member is significantly corrected only by the shape correction member.
- the heater of the thirteenth aspect is arranged such that the elastic deformation holding portion includes plural other-side regulating portions, and the other-side regulating portions are disposed in accordance with the predetermined curvature.
- the other-side regulating portions elastic deformation is conducted so that the curvature of the yarn contact member is arranged to be close to the predetermined curvature in advance.
- the shape of the yarn contact member can be corrected with a smaller force by the shape correction member.
- the heater of any one of the first to fourteenth aspects is arranged such that the shape correction member is formed of a metal plate member.
- the shape correction member can be formed by using a typical commercially-available metal plate member.
- the component cost can therefore be reduced.
- the heater of the fifteenth aspect is arranged such that the pressing surface is formed of an end face of the metal plate member.
- the pressing surface may be formed of a top surface (i.e., a wide surface) of a metal plate member. In this case, however, the pressing surface is unavoidably wide in the second direction. Because in the present invention the pressing surface is formed of the end face of the metal plate member, the thickness direction of the shape correction member corresponds to the above-described second direction. It is therefore possible to arrange the pressing surface to be narrow in the second direction. This arrangement is effective when it is necessary to cause the shape correction member to make contact with a narrow part in the second direction of the yarn contact member.
- the heater of any one of the first to sixteenth aspect is arranged such that each of the at least one yarn contact member has paired regulating walls which are provided on both sides in the second direction of the yarn contact surface and are longer than the yarn contact surface toward the one side in the first direction, each of the paired regulating walls includes an edge surface which extends at least in the extending direction and is oriented at least to the one side in the first direction, and the pressing surface of the shape correction member makes contact with only one of the edge surfaces of the respective paired regulating walls.
- the pressing surface may be arranged to make contact with both of the paired edge surfaces.
- the shape correction member is large in the second direction and may obstruct yarn threading, or the structure of the shape correction member may be complicated. Because in the present invention the pressing surface makes contact with only one edge surface, it is possible to downsize the shape correction member in the second direction and to simplify the structure of the shape correction member.
- the heater of the seventeenth aspect is arranged such that, in the second direction, an end of the pressing surface, which is close to the yarn contact surface among both ends of the pressing surface, is positioned to be identical with an end position that is a position of an end of one of the edge surfaces, which is close to the yarn contact surface among both ends of the one of the edge surfaces, or the end of the pressing surface is positioned to be close to the yarn contact surface as compared to the end position.
- the yarn When yarn threading to the yarn contact member is performed, the yarn is caused to pass through the inside of the paired edge surfaces in the second direction and to make contact with the yarn contact surface. In doing so, when an end on the yarn contact surface side of the pressing surface is far from the yarn contact surface as compared to the end position in the second direction, the yarn may be caught by a level difference between the yarn contact member and the shape correction member at the time of the yarn threading. As a result, for example, the yarn threading may not be properly done.
- the aspect of the present invention makes it possible to suppress the occurrence of such a problem.
- the heater of any one of the first to eighteenth aspects is arranged such that the at least one yarn contact member includes a first yarn contact member with which a first yarn included in the yarns makes contact and a second yarn contact member which is aligned with the first yarn contact member in the second direction and with which a second yarn included in the yarns makes contact, and the shape correction member includes: a first pressing surface that is the pressing surface by which a first correction force included in the correction force is applied to the first yarn contact member; a second pressing surface that is the pressing surface by which a second correction force included in the correction force is applied to the second yarn contact member; and a connecting portion which is provided between the first pressing surface and the second pressing surface in the second direction.
- the shapes of the yarn contact members aligned in the second direction can be corrected by one shape correction member.
- the component cost can therefore be reduced as compared to a case where the shape of only one yarn contact member is corrected by one shape correction member.
- the heater of any one of the first to nineteenth aspects is arranged such that bending rigidity of the shape correction member relative to the first direction is larger than bending rigidity of the at least one yarn contact member relative to the first direction.
- deformation of the shape correction member is suppressed when the shape correction member is pressed back by the yarn contact member due to the law of action and reaction.
- a direction perpendicular to the sheet of FIG. 1 is referred to as a base longitudinal direction. Furthermore, a left-right direction on the sheet of FIG. 1 is referred to as a base width direction.
- the direction orthogonal to the base longitudinal direction and the base width direction is defined as an up-down direction (vertical direction) in which the gravity acts.
- FIG. 1 is a side view of the false-twist texturing machine 1.
- the false-twist texturing machine 1 is able to false-twist yarns Y made of synthetic fibers (e.g., polyester). Each yarn Y is, for example, a multi-filament yarn made of plural filaments. Alternatively, each yarn Y may be made of one filament.
- the false-twist texturing machine 1 includes a yarn supplying unit 2, a processing unit 3, and a winding unit 4.
- the yarn supplying unit 2 is arranged to be able to supply the yarns Y.
- the processing unit 3 is configured to pull out the yarns Y from the yarn supplying unit 2 and to false-twist the yarns Y.
- the winding unit 4 is configured to wind the yarns Y which have been processed by the processing unit 3 onto winding bobbins Bw.
- the base longitudinal direction is a direction orthogonal to a running surface (i.e., sheet of FIG. 1 ) of the yarns Y, on which yarn paths from the yarn supplying unit 2 to the winding unit 4 through the processing unit 3 are provided.
- the yarn supplying unit 2 includes a creel stand 7 retaining yarn supply packages Ps, and supplies the yarns Y to the processing unit 3.
- the processing unit 3 is configured to pull out the yarns Y from the yarn supplying unit 2 and to process the yarns Y.
- the following members are provided in this order from the upstream in a yarn running direction: first feed rollers 11; a twist-stopping guide 12; a first heater 13; a cooler 14; a false-twisting device 15; second feed rollers 16; an interlacing device 17; third feed rollers 18; a second heater 19; and fourth feed rollers 20.
- the winding unit 4 includes plural winding devices 21. Each winding device 21 winds a corresponding yarn Y which has been false-twisted by the processing unit 3 onto a winding bobbin Bw and forms a wound package Pw.
- the false-twist texturing machine 1 includes a main frame 8 and a winding base 9 that are spaced apart from each other in the base width direction.
- the main frame 8 and the winding base 9 are substantially identical in length in the base longitudinal direction.
- the main frame 8 and the winding base 9 oppose each other in the base width direction.
- the false-twist texturing machine 1 includes units which are termed spans each of which includes a pair of the main base 8 and the winding base 9. In one span, each device is placed so that the yarns Y running while being aligned in the base longitudinal direction can be subjected to false-twist texturing at the same time.
- the spans are placed in a left-right symmetrical manner to the sheet, with a center line C of the base width direction of the main frame 8 being set as a symmetry axis (i.e., the main frame 8 is shared between the left span and the right span).
- the spans are aligned in the base longitudinal direction.
- the first feed rollers 11 are arranged to unwind a yarn Y from a yarn supply package Ps attached to the yarn supplying unit 2 and feed the yarn Y to the first heater 13.
- each first feed roller 11 is configured to feed one yarn Y to a corresponding first heater 13.
- each first feed roller 11 may be able to feed adjacent yarns Y to the downstream side in the yarn running direction.
- the twist-stopping guide 12 is provided to prevent twist of the yarn Y formed by the false-twisting device 15 from being propagated to the upstream in the yarn running direction of the twist-stopping guide 12.
- the first heater 13 is configured to heat the yarns Y supplied from the first feed rollers 11 to a predetermined processing temperature. For example, each first heater 13 is able to heat two yarns Y. Below the first heater 13, a working space S is formed to allow an operator to perform an operation such as yarn threading. The first heater 13 will be detailed later.
- the cooler 14 is configured to cool the yarn Y heated at the first heater 13.
- the cooler 14 is configured to cool one yarn Y.
- the cooler 14 may be able to simultaneously cool plural yarns Y.
- the false-twisting device 15 is provided downstream of the cooler 14 in the yarn running direction, and configured to twist the yarn Y.
- the false-twisting device 15 is, for example, a so-called disc-friction false-twisting device.
- Each second feed roller 16 is configured to feed the yarn Y processed by the false-twisting device 15 to a corresponding interlacing device 17.
- the conveyance speed of conveying the yarn Y by each second feed roller 16 is higher than the conveyance speed of conveying the yarn Y by each first feed roller 11. With this arrangement, the yarn Y is therefore drawn and false-twisted between each first feed roller 11 and each second feed roller 16.
- the interlacing device 17 is configured to interlace the yarn Y.
- the interlacing device 17 has, for example, a known interlace nozzle configured to interlace the yarn Y by means of an airflow.
- Each third feed roller 18 is configured to feed the yarn Y running downstream of a corresponding interlacing device 17 in the yarn running direction, to the second heater 19.
- each third feed roller 18 is configured to feed one yarn Y to a corresponding second heater 19.
- each third feed roller 18 may be able to feed adjacent yarns Y to the downstream side in the yarn running direction.
- the conveyance speed of conveying the yarn Y by each third feed roller 18 is lower than the conveyance speed of conveying the yarn Y by each second feed roller 16.
- the yarn Y is therefore relaxed between each second feed roller 16 and each third feed roller 18.
- the second heater 19 is configured to heat the yarns Y fed from the third feed rollers 18.
- the second heater 19 extends along the vertical direction, and one second heater 19 is provided in one span.
- Each fourth feed roller 20 is configured to feed the yarns Y heated by the second heater 19 to the corresponding winding device 21.
- each fourth feed roller 20 is able to feed one yarn Y to the winding device 21.
- each fourth feed roller 20 may be able to feed adjacent yarns Y to the downstream side in the yarn running direction.
- the conveyance speed of conveying the yarn Y by each fourth feed roller 20 is lower than the conveyance speed of conveying the yarn Y by each third feed roller 18. The yarn Y is therefore relaxed between each third feed roller 18 and each fourth feed roller 20.
- the yarn Y drawn between the first feed rollers 11 and the second feed rollers 16 is twisted by the false-twisting device 15.
- the twist formed by the false-twisting devices 15 propagates to the twist-stopping guide 12 but does not propagate to the upstream of the twist-stopping guide 12 in the yarn running direction.
- the yarn Y which is twisted and drawn is heated by a corresponding first heater 13 and thermally set. After that, the yarn Y is cooled by a corresponding cooler 14.
- the yarn Y is untwisted on the downstream side of a corresponding false-twisting device 15 in the yarn running direction.
- the yarn Y is maintained to be wavy in shape on account of the thermal setting described above (i.e., the crimp contraction of the yarn Y is maintained).
- the false-twisted yarn Y is interlaced by a corresponding interlacing device 17 while being relaxed between a corresponding second feed roller 16 and a corresponding third feed roller 18. After that, the yarn Y is guided toward the downstream side in the yarn running direction. Subsequently, the yarn Y is thermally set by the second heater 19 while being relaxed between the third feed rollers 18 and the fourth feed rollers 20. Finally, the yarn Y which is fed by the fourth feed rollers 20 is wound by the winding device 21.
- the winding unit 4 includes plural winding devices 21.
- Each winding device 21 is able to wind, for example, one yarn Y onto one winding bobbin Bw.
- the yarn Y which is fed by the fourth feed rollers 20 described above is wound onto the winding bobbin Bw by the winding device 21, and forms the wound package Pw.
- FIG. 2(a) shows the first heater 13 viewed in the base longitudinal direction.
- the first heater 13 extends along the left-right direction on the sheet of the figure.

While the directions are not shown in FIG. 10(a) , the left-right direction on the sheet of FIG. 10(a) corresponds to the second direction. The up-down direction on the sheet of FIG. 10 (a) corresponds to the first direction.
- the paired brackets 120 are attached to an end portion (other-side end portion) on the other side in the extending direction of the heating unit 41.
- the paired brackets 120 are aligned in the second direction.
- Each of the paired brackets 120 is substantially U-shaped in the same manner as each of the paired brackets 110.
- Each bracket 120 has, for example, an outer portion 121, a connecting portion 122, and an inner portion 123.
- the outer portion 121 is fixed to an end portion on the other side in the extending direction of the heating unit 41 and an end in the second direction of the heating unit 41 by, for example, bolts 125.
- the connecting portion 122 is a portion where the outer portion 121 is connected to the inner portion 123.
- the inner portion 123 is provided inside (i.e., on the operation unit 130 side of) the outer portion 121 and the connecting portion 122 in the second direction.
- the inner portion 123 is, for example, a plate-shaped portion extending in the first direction.
- an engagement holes 124 (engagement holes 124A and 124B) are formed to penetrate the intermediate part in the second direction and extend in the extending direction.
- Each engagement hole 124 is arranged so that one of both end portions in the lengthwise direction of a later-described engaging member 131 (second engaging member of the present invention) is inserted into the engagement hole 124.
- the operation unit 130 is attached to the connecting portion 66 of the shape correction member 64, for example.
- the operation unit 130 includes an engaging member 131, a spacer 132, an operation lever 133 (operation member of the present invention), and a bolt 134.
- the operation unit 130 is arranged so that, as an operator operates the operation lever 133, switching is performed between a state in which the engaging member 131 is engaged with the paired brackets 120 and a state in which the engagement of the engaging member 131 with the paired brackets 120 is canceled.
- the engaging member 131 is arranged to be engageable with the paired brackets 120.
- the engaging member 131 is, for example, a substantially plate-shaped member and rectangular in shape.
- the engaging member 131 is attached to the connecting portion 66 of the shape correction member 64 to be rotatable, for example.
- the rotational axis direction of the engaging member 131 will be simply referred to as a rotational axis direction.
- the rotational axis direction is substantially in parallel to the first direction when the engaging member 131 is engaged with the paired brackets 120.
- the engaging member 131 When viewed in the rotational axis direction, the engaging member 131 is rotatable clockwise (i.e., in a predetermined rotational direction of the present invention) and counterclockwise (i.e., in a reverse direction of the present invention). In other words, the engaging member 131 is rotatable in both directions.
- the engaging member 131 extends to be long in a lengthwise direction (hereinafter, a third direction) orthogonal to the rotational axis direction.
- the inclination angle of the third direction relative to the second direction varies in accordance with the rotation of the engaging member 131 (see FIG. 10(b) and FIG. 11(b) ).
- the spacer 132 is provided to separate the engaging member 131 from the connecting portion 66 in the rotational axis direction.
- the spacer 132 is substantially cylindrical in shape and extends along the rotational axis direction.
- a through hole (not illustrated) is formed to penetrate the spacer 132 in the rotational axis direction.
- the center in the radial direction of the spacer 132 is substantially identical in position with the center of the rotational axis of the engaging member 131, for example.
- the operation lever 133 is operated by the operator so that the engaging member 131 is rotated to move between an engaging position and a cancellation position which are described later.
- the operation lever 133 is therefore rotatable together with the engaging member 131.
- the operation lever 133 has a handle portion 137 and a columnar portion 138 (see FIG. 10(a) ).
- the handle portion 137 is a flat plate portion which is touched by a hand of the operator and is substantially rectangular in shape.
- the handle portion 137 is provided to oppose the spacer 132 over the connecting portion 66 in the rotational axis direction.
- the columnar portion 138 is a substantially columnar portion extending from the handle portion 137 toward the engaging member 131 in the rotational axis direction.
- a through hole (not illustrated) is formed to allow the columnar portion 138 to be inserted into the same.
- the columnar portion 138 is inserted into the through hole.
- the columnar portion 138 is inserted into a through hole (not illustrated) of the spacer 132, too.
- the columnar portion 138 is arranged to be rotatable relative to the connecting portion 66 and the spacer 132.
- On the columnar portion 138 a female screw screwed with the bolt 134 is formed on the columnar portion 138.
- the bolt 134 is provided to fix the engaging member 131 to the operation lever 133.
- the bolt 134 is screwed with the female screw of the columnar portion 138.
- Both end portions in the third direction of the engaging member 131 are engageable with the paired brackets 120. That is to say, as shown in FIG. 10(a) , when the end portions in the third direction of the engaging member 131 are inserted into two engagement holes 124, the engaging member 131 is engaged with the paired brackets 120. In this state, the shape correction member 64 is prohibited to swing. This state of the switching unit 102 is termed a prohibited state. Furthermore, the position of the engaging member 131 in this state (i.e., the angle of the engaging member 131 relative to the paired brackets 120) is termed an engaging position. Furthermore, the position of the shape correction member 64 in this state is termed a pressing position. As shown in FIG. 11(a) and FIG.
- the engaging member 131 is switched between a state of positioning at the engaging position and a state of positioning at the cancellation position.
- 90 degrees correspond to a predetermined angle of the present invention.
- the engaging member 131 is rotatable in both directions.
- the angle of the engaging member 131 at a predetermined engaging position (first engaging position) is defined as 0 degree.
- first engaging position is defined as 0 degree.
- second engaging position is defined as 0 degree.
- the engaging position therefore encompasses the first engaging position and the second engaging position.
- the angle of the engaging member 131 is 90 degrees or 270 degrees
- the engaging member 131 is at the cancellation position.
- One of the two cancellation positions is a first cancellation position, whereas the other is a second cancellation position.
- the cancellation position therefore encompasses the first cancellation position and the second cancellation position.
- the handle portion 137 extends to be long in the extending direction when the engaging member 131 is at the engaging position (first state; see FIG. 10(b) ). In this state, the handle portion 137 is disposed so as not to obstruct yarn threading.
- the handle portion 137 extends to be long in the second direction when the engaging member 131 is at the cancellation position (second state; see FIG. 11(b) ). As such, the handle portion 137 indicates that the yarn threading cannot (should not) be done when the engaging member 131 is at the cancellation position.
- the state of the handle portion 137 is preferably switchable between the first state indicating that the engaging member 131 is at the engaging position and the second state indicating that the engaging member 131 is at the cancellation position and being different from the first state.
- FIG. 12(a) to FIG. 12(c) show a process of detaching the shape correction member 64 from the first heater 13.
- the shape correction member 64 In a state in which the shape correction member 64 is attached to the heating unit 41, the shape correction member 64 extends more or less along the extending direction (see FIG. 12(a) ).
- the pressing surface 67 of the shape correction member 64 is in contact with the edge surface 58e of the yarn contact member 43 and applies a correction force to the yarn contact member 43 (above-described pressing position).
- the correction force applied from the pressing surface 67A (see FIG. 6 ) to the yarn contact member 43A (see FIG. 3(a) ) is equivalent to a first correction force of the present invention.
- the correction force applied from the pressing surface 67B (see FIG. 6 ) to the yarn contact member 43B (see FIG. 3(a) ) is equivalent to a second correction force of the present invention.
- the operator When the shape correction member 64 is detached from the heating unit 41, the operator operates the operation lever 133 to move the engaging member 131 from the engaging position to the cancellation position. The operator then swings the shape correction member 64 a little bit in the first direction (above-described non-pressing position; see an arrow in FIG. 12(b) ). Thereafter, the operator shifts an end portion on one side in the extending direction of the shape correction member 64 toward one side in the extending direction. As a result, the engagement between the hook portion 69h (see FIG. 9(c)) and the swing shaft 111 is canceled. Due to this, it becomes possible to detach the shape correction member 64 from the correction member holding unit 100 (see an arrow in FIG. 12(c) ). The shape correction member 64 can be attached to the heating unit 41 by performing the steps of the detachment in the reverse order.
- the housing space 56 can be arranged to be open to the working space S no matter whether the shape correction member 64 is attached to the heating unit 41. It is therefore possible to perform yarn threading to the first heater 13 no matter whether the shape correction member 64 is attached to the heating unit 41.
- the warping portions 61 make it possible to roughly set the position of the yarn contact member 43 in the first direction. Then the correction force is applied to the yarn contact member 43 by the shape correction member 64, with the result that the shape of the yarn contact member 43 is corrected.
- the shape correction member 64 is formed of a member different from a member of which the warping portion 61 is formed.
- the yarn contact member holding portion 60 is arranged to hold the yarn contact member 43 to be detachable from and attachable to the heating unit 41. It is therefore possible to detach the yarn contact member 43 from the heating unit 41 when the yarn contact member 43 is cleaned. The efficiency in cleaning of the yarn contact member 43 is therefore improved.
- the yarn contact member 43 is attached to and detached from the heating unit 41 by moving the yarn contact member 43 in the first direction. In this case, a long space that is adjacent to the first heater 13 in the longitudinal direction of the yarn contact member 43 is unnecessary. It is therefore possible to suppress the layout around the first heater 13 from being restricted.
- the pressing surface 67 reliably prevents the yarn contact member 43 from dropping off from the heating unit 41 through the housing space 56.
- the shape correction member 64 is at the non-pressing position, the yarn contact member 43 is detachable from the heating unit 41 through the housing space 56.
- the shape correction member 64 can be detached from the heating unit 41 and separated from the heating unit 41.
- the detaching/attaching operation of detaching or attaching the yarn contact member 43 from or to the heating unit 41 is performed, the detaching/attaching operation of detaching or attaching the yarn contact member 43 is less likely to be obstructed as compared to a case where the shape correction member 64 at the non-pressing position is provided to be close to the heating unit 41.
- the correction member holding unit 100 includes the swing supporter 101 and the switching unit 102.
- the shape correction member 64 is movable between the pressing position and the non-pressing position only by swinging the shape correction member 64. Furthermore, it is possible to allow or prohibit the swing of the shape correction member 64 only by operating the switching unit 102. The time and labor of the operator are therefore reduced.
- the engaging member 131 is movable between the engaging position and the cancellation position by being rotated. It is therefore possible to downsize the space required for the movement of the engaging member 131, as compared to an arrangement in which the engaging member 131 moves, for example, in a parallel manner. It is therefore possible to avoid the increase in size of the switching unit 102.
- the operator can easily move the engaging member 131 between the engaging position and the cancellation position only by operating the handle portion 137.
- the handle portion 137 is able to change its state between the first state and the second state. On this account, even when the position of the engaging member 131 is not viewable, it is possible to know whether the engaging member 131 is at the engaging position or the cancellation position by checking the state of the handle portion 137. It is therefore possible to suppress the occurrence of operational errors due to erroneous recognition of the position of the engaging member 131.
- the engaging position encompasses the first engaging position and the second engaging position.
- the cancellation position encompasses the first cancellation position and the second cancellation position.
- the first heater 13 includes the hooking portion 62 and the hooking portion 63. It is therefore possible to hold the yarn contact member 43 by the warping portions 61, the hooking portion 62, and the hooking portion 63 even when the shape correction member 64 is at the non-pressing position. On this account, unintentional drop off of the yarn contact member 43 from the heating unit 41 is prevented when the shape correction member 64 is moved from the pressing position to the non-pressing position.
- the hooking portion 62 and the hooking portion 63 are further arranged to restrict the movement of the yarn contact member 43 toward the other side in the first direction. This makes it possible to keep parts of the yarn contact member 43, which are outside the warping portions 61 and the shape correction member 64 in the extending direction, to positionally fall within a predetermined range in the first direction. As a result of this, the shape of the yarn contact surface 57 is further close to the optimal shape.
- the yarn contact member holding portion 60 is arranged to be able to hold the yarn contact member 43 to be elastically deformed in the first direction.
- the yarn contact member holding portion 60 includes the elastic deformation holding portion.
- the shape of the yarn contact member 43 before the correction by the shape correction member 64 is therefore arranged to more or less correspond to the pressing surface 67 in advance. It is therefore possible to correct the shape of the yarn contact member 43 with a small force as compared to a case where the shape of the yarn contact member 43 is significantly corrected only by the shape correction member 64.
- the warping portions 61 elastic deformation is conducted so that the curvature of the yarn contact member 43 is arranged to be close to the predetermined curvature in advance. On this account, the shape of the yarn contact member 43 can be corrected with a smaller force by the shape correction member 64.
- the shape correction member 64 can be formed by using a typical commercially-available metal plate member. The component cost can therefore be reduced.
- the pressing surface 67 is formed of an end face of the metal plate member.
- the thickness direction of the shape correction member 64 corresponds to the second direction. It is therefore possible to arrange the pressing surface 67 to be narrow in the second direction. This arrangement is effective when it is necessary to cause the shape correction member 64 to make contact with a narrow part in the second direction of the yarn contact member 43.
- the yarn contact member 43 has the paired edge surfaces 58e, and the pressing surface 67 of the shape correction member 64 makes contact with only one of the paired edge surfaces 58e. This arrangement makes it possible to downsize the shape correction member 64 in the second direction and to simplify the structure of the shape correction member 64.
- the yarn Y may be caught by a level difference between the yarn contact member 43 and the shape correction member 64 at the time of yarn threading, with the result that the yarn threading may not be properly done.
- the end on the yarn contact surface 57 side of the pressing surface 67 is positionally identical with either a position close to the yarn contact surface 57 as compared to the end position or the end position. It is therefore possible to suppress the occurrence of the above-described problem.
- the shapes of the yarn contact members 43 aligned in the second direction can be corrected by one shape correction member 64.
- the component cost can therefore be reduced as compared to a case where the shape of only one yarn contact member 43 is corrected by one shape correction member 64.
- the bending rigidity of the shape correction member 64 relative to the first direction is larger than the bending rigidity of the yarn contact member 43 relative to the first direction. On this account, deformation of the shape correction member 64 is suppressed when the shape correction member 64 is pressed back by the yarn contact member 43 due to the law of action and reaction.
