Since the rotational phase difference between the rotary blades 1 and 7 of the unit U does not interfere with any value, the rotational phase of the rotary blades 1 and 7 of the adjacent yarn traverse unit U is intentionally shifted. No need. However, by shifting the rotation phase difference between the rotating blades 1 and 7 of the adjacent yarn traverse units U by 90 degrees or 45 degrees, a yarn traverse device in which a large number of yarn traverse units U are arranged in parallel. Since the overall driving balance can be improved, the vibration and noise of the yarn traversing device can be reduced.

Since only some kinds of lengths are prepared and other members are common to all the yarn traverse units U, maintenance and inspection of the yarn traverse unit U are easy.

Since the rotation planes of a total of four rotating blades constituting the adjacent yarn traverse unit U are all arranged differently, one of the yarn traverse units fails and the rotation of the rotary blade stops. Also, when the rotation speed of the rotating blades deviates from the rotation speed of the rotating blades of another yarn traverse unit U, the rotating blades of adjacent yarn traverse units U interfere with each other. There is no collision and damage.

Since the rotation planes of the total of four rotating blades constituting the adjacent yarn traverse unit U are all arranged differently, the yarn traverse units U can be individually stopped. Therefore, maintenance and inspection work is facilitated.

The rotating plane of the rotating blade is

The rotation plane of the rotating blade is
Alternatively, the upper rotating blade 1 of a pair of rotating blades that rotate in the opposite directions to each other and that are inclined with respect to the rotation axis of the package P and constitute the yarn traverse unit U,
Since the yarn traverse unit U is inserted between the pair of rotary blades of the adjacent yarn traverse unit U, the distance of each yarn traverse unit U from the touch roller T or the package P can be made substantially the same. The traverse condition of the yarn traverse unit U can be made substantially constant.

Adjacent yarn traverse unit group G
1, G2 is driven via the height-adjusting pulley member M, so that the length of the rotary shaft 15 to which the pulley 17 is attached can be shortened.
Can be prevented from being deformed.

Since the rotating blades of the adjacent yarn traversing unit U do not interfere with each other, it is not necessary to use a timing belt or the like to achieve perfect synchronization. Therefore, a less expensive round belt or flat belt can be used. Becomes Further, a drive source such as an electric motor can be provided for each yarn traverse unit U, and each yarn traverse unit U can be driven independently.
