  • this conventional technique if the force in the yarn running direction or the force in the direction crossing the yarn running direction but different from the traverse direction (hereinafter this direction is merely called the direction different from the traverse direction) acts on the yarn, the position control of the running yarn by the yarn traverse guide cannot be performed. That is, the conventional technique has a disadvantage that the yarn can deviate from the yarn traverse guide, not being able to be traversed any more.
  • Patent Document 3 proposes a yarn traverse guide capable of relatively stably controlling the yarn passage, namely, a yarn traverse guide that allows stable yarn traversing without causing the yarn to deviate from the yarn traverse guide even if the force in the yarn traveling direction and the force in the direction different from the traverse direction act on the yarn.

  • the support and drive mechanisms of the winding bobbin 5 a , the support and drive mechanisms of the pressure roller 3 a , the support mechanism of the traverse guide rail 2 a and the drive mechanism of the yarn traverse guide TG 2 are not shown, but they are widely known as conventional mechanisms.
  • FIGS. 14 , 15 and 16 are schematic front views of the yarn winder YW 2 of FIG. 13 .
  • FIG. 14 shows the state where the yarn traverse guide TG 2 is located at the center of the traverse width.
  • FIG. 15 shows the state where the yarn traverse guide TG 2 is located at the left end of the traverse width.
  • FIG. 16 shows the state where the yarn traverse guide TG 2 is located at the right end of the traverse width.
  • the yarn traverse guide TG 2 moves continuously rightward in the drawings along the traverse guide rail 2 a over a desired traverse width from the position of the yarn traverse guide TG 2 shown in FIG. 15 , via the position of the yarn traverse guide TG 2 shown in FIG. 14 to the position of the yarn traverse guide TG 2 shown in FIG. 16 . Then, the yarn traverse guide TG 2 changes its direction, to move leftward, for completing one cycle of reciprocation. Thereafter, the reciprocation is continued, and during the continued reciprocation, the running yarn 1 a is wound around the winding bobbin 5 a while being traversed by the yarn traverse guide TG 2 , to form the yarn package 4 a.
  • the yarn traverse guide TG 1 and the yarn traverse guide TG 2 explained above are modes in which a first yarn guide formed as a first guide member and a second yarn guide formed as a second guide member are installed together, but in the yarn traverse guide of the invention, the number of combined guides is not limited to two, and can also be three or more. However, considering the production cost of the yarn traverse guide and the maintenance of the yarn winder, a yarn traverse guide comprising two yarn guides is more economical.
  • the guide members used in the yarn traverse guide of the invention are only required to be made of a material having sufficient strength against the force applied by the yarn and the force applied by traverse motion.
  • the material include carbon steel, stainless steel, ceramic, etc. It is preferred that the surface roughness of the guide members at the portions in contact with the yarn is 0.4 to 3.2 as the center line mean roughness Ra measured according to JIS B 0601.
  • the yarn deviated from the yarn traverse guide whenever the winding bobbin (paper tube) was moved in the direction of leaving from the pressure roller was judged at five traverse sites, namely, by locating the yarn traverse guide traversing within a traverse width of 150 mm at 0 mm site (an end of the traverse width), 150 mm site (the other end of the traverse width), 75 mm site (the center of the traverse width), 37.5 mm site (the center between 0 mm site and 75 mm site), and 112.5 mm site (the center of 75 mm site and 150 mm site).
  • the deviation of the yarn from the yarn traverse guide refers to the state where the yarn is disengaged from the yarn traverse guide and cannot be traversed by the yarn traverse guide any more.
  • the yarn traverse guide TG 1 shown in FIG. 3 was attached to a turret (revolving) type yarn winder (EKTW-CA winder produced by Kamitsu Seisakusho Ltd.), and a carbon fiber bundle produced by carbonizing polyacrylonitrile fibers was wound around a winding bobbin (paper tube) having an outer diameter of 80 mm, with a traverse width of 150 mm at a yarn speed of 7 m/min.
  • EKTW-CA winder produced by Kamitsu Seisakusho Ltd.
  • the angle d 1 between the two yarn guides (the first yarn guide as the guide member A and the second yarn guide as the guide member B) constituting the yarn traverse guide TG 1 was set at 90 degrees, and the clearance e was set at 10 mm.
  • the yarn traverse guide TG 2 shown in FIG. 11 was attached to a turret (revolving) type yarn winder (EKTW-CA winder produced by Kamitsu Seisakusho Ltd.), and a carbon fiber bundle produced by carbonizing polyacrylonitrile fibers was wound around a winding bobbin (paper tube) having an outer diameter of 80 mm, with a traverse width of 150 mm at a yarn speed of 7 m/min.
  • EKTW-CA winder produced by Kamitsu Seisakusho Ltd.
  • the angle d 2 between the two yarn guides (the first yarn guide as the guide member C and the second yarn guide as the guide member D) constituting the yarn traverse guide TG 2 was set at 50 degrees, and the clearance e was set at 5 mm.
  • a carbon fiber bundle was wound around a winding bobbin (paper tube) as described in Example 1, except that the yarn traverse guide as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 of Patent Document 3 was used.
  • the yarn arresting groove, the yarn disengagement prevention hook and the yarn guide portion were respectively disposed to ensure that the clearance between the yarn arresting groove and the tip portion of the yarn disengagement prevention hook became 1 mm and that the end portion of the yarn disengagement prevention hook became flush with the yarn guide portion positioned on the other side of the yarn arresting groove (for facing the 0 mm site direction).
  • a carbon fiber bundle was wound around a winding bobbin (paper tube) as described in Comparative Example 1, using the yarn traverse guide used in Comparative Example 1. However, the yarn arresting groove and the yarn disengagement prevention hook were disposed to ensure that the clearance between the yarn arresting groove and the tip portion of the yarn disengagement prevention hook became 10 mm.
  • a carbon fiber bundle was wound around a winding bobbin (paper tube) as described in Example 1, except that the yarn traverse guide described in Patent Document 1 was used.
  • the yarn traverse guide of the invention even in the case where the force in the yarn running direction and the force in the direction different from the traverse direction act on the yarn, the yarn does not deviate from the yarn traverse guide, and the state where the yarn is stably arrested by the yarn traverse guide can be sustained.
  • the yarn traverse guide of the invention allows the yarn to be easily threaded into the yarn traverse guide.
  • the yarn traverse guide of the invention can be suitably used in a yarn winder such as a turret (revolving) type yarn winder, in which the force in the yarn running direction and the force in the direction different from the traverse direction act on the yarn during the automatic transfer of the yarn from a fully loaded bobbin to an empty bobbin, though such forces do not act on the yarn in the steady winding state.
  • a yarn winder such as a turret (revolving) type yarn winder
