  • Patent number: 4213056
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method and apparatus for determining the state of interlacing in interlaced multifilament yarn, wherein an interlaced multifilament yarn is forced to contact a contact member while running along a yarn passage so that a configuration of the yarn is changed with regard to the mutual lateral positions of individual filaments thereof. The state of the above-mentioned changing of the yarn configuration is detected by means of a photoelectric principle, and the degree of interlacing is electrically calculated from the detected signal.
