Abstract
The yarn end finding apparatus includes an air current generating member and an air current control member for controlling an air current generated by the air current generating member in such a manner that the air current flows along the surface of yarn layers of a bobbin. The air current control member is disposed in a position either partially or totally surrounding the bobbin in order for the air current control member to be movable upward and with respect to the bobbin. The yarn end finding apparatus of the present invention is compact in structure so as to permit a yarn finding operation to be performed in a single location.
