Abstract: A method of untwisting sized yarn in a yarn splicing device, which comprises applying a solution to the ends of sized yarn to dissolve a size to thereby untwist the yarn at the ends thereof when they are joined together by a whirling stream of air.

Abstract: Shoyu, a liquid seasoning, has a blackish purple or blackish brown color, however, such color peculiar to the conventional shoyu is decolored and the shoyu is colored various colors such as red, blue, yellow, green, etc., whereby the conventional shoyu can be improved into one which is available in a variety of colors while maintaining the taste, aroma and flavor peculiar to the conventional shoyu.

Abstract: Method and Apparatus for forming a package including a steps of drafting and twisting a raw sliver to form a spun yarn, taking up at least two spun yarns in a paralleled state into the same package, and supplying the thus wound package directly to a two-for-one twister disposed in continuity with the spinning device. The spinning device and the two-for-one twister are connected to each other by a conveyor for feeding the packages from the spinning device and by a yarn supply package replacing device.

Abstract: Various conditions for operation, in a machine frame which is constituted from a plurality of yarn processing units, of the individual yarn processing units are set by means of a memory card reading device which is electrically connected to the individual processing units over a bus line, and only by setting a memory card in which conditions suitable for a yarn to be processed are written in position into the memory card reading device, operating conditions of the individual processing units are set collectively.

Abstract: A yarn untwisting device in a pneumatic yarn splicing apparatus which includes an untwisting nozzle for guiding an end of cut yarn; a gas feed device for feeding a gas stream into the nozzle; a liquid feed device for spraying liquid to the yarn end which has been sucked into the nozzle; and a liquid recovering device connected to the nozzle.

Abstract: A method for winding a fixed length of yarn on a yarn-supply package in an apparatus connecting an automatic winder or an innovation spinning machine having a winder with a two-for-one twister. The method comprises dividing a single yarn-supply package transferred from a winder side to form a plurality of twist-yarn packages on the two-for-one twister side.

Abstract: A twist number setting device for a two-for-one twister constituted such that an output power shaft of a drive motor is connected to a drive pulley which is connected to a spindle and provides a turning force to the spindle and also connected to a rotary shaft of a drum which contacts with a winding package and provides a turning force to the package, and a speed change means is interposed between the output power shaft of the drive motor and the rotary shaft of the drum.

Abstract: A yarn end finding device for releasing a bunch winding wound around an end of a spinning bobbin to find a yarn end and supplying the yarn-end found spinning bobbin to an automatic winder, the yarn end finding device comprising rotary rollers 15 and 16 adapted to press against a take-up tube 11 at a bunch winding position of the spinning bobbin, the rotary rollers having rotary axes C1 and C2 inclined in a direction different from an axis C3 of the take-up tube 11.

Abstract: In a yarn splicing process comprising steps of allowing a yarn from a bobbin and a yarn leading to a package to intersect with each other in a yarn splicing device; cutting off yarn end portions extending from the yarn splicing device; splicing the cut yarn ends; and re-starting the winding operation for winding up a yarn on a package from a bobbin, the process further includes steps of clamping the superfluous yarn branching off from the spliced joint before starting a drum to wind a yarn on a package to prevent a defective splicing.
