A sample yarn-collecting apparatus for preparing a continuous yarn knotted in an end-to-end manner, in which sample yarns having a certain length are collected from a plurality of yarn packages, each of them are connected in succession in an end-to-end manner to obtain one continuous yarn, and the continuous yarn is wound temporarily and thereafter continuously unwound to be fed to testing means while storing it in a quantity within a predetermined range, is disclosed. This apparatus comprises sample yarn collecting means for collecting sample yarns from packages and connecting each of them to form one continuous yarn, means for storing the continuous yarn fed from said collecting means on a rotary member by winding it and feeding the continuous yarn wound and stored on the rotary member to testing means by unwinding it, and supplementary means for controlling the above two means.

Apparatus for collecting and preparing sample yarns to be tested

An improved method for commencing the yarn forming operation of a fasciated yarn and an apparatus for carrying it out thereof. In the apparatus for manufacturing a fasciated yarn from a bundle of fibers suppled from a supply mechanism into a yarn forming mechanism provided with a fluid nozzle, when the yarn forming operation is commenced, the distance between the downstream nip point of the fiber bundle supply mechanism and a twisting point of the fluid nozzle is shortened in a condition shorter than a predetermined distance such as an effective fiber length of a material fiber, and after completion of such initial yarn forming operation, the above-mentioned distance is gradually or stepwisely enlarged to the distance wherein a normal yarn forming operation is carried out. Such shortening and enlarging the above-mentioned distance is carried out by displacing the fluid nozzle and/or changing the position of the downstream nip point of the fiber bundle supply mechanism.

Method and apparatus for starting, interrupting or stopping spinning of a fasciated spun yarn. Staple fibers are false twisted into a yarn, a fluid eddy is applied to the bundle, and separate suction is applied, cutting off temporarily the suction air current separately provided. Yarn formation is continued while re-applying the suction air current separately applied.
