Method for restoring the operation of a yarn twist apparatus following a yarn break

摘要

A method for restoring the operation of a twist apparatus which imparts a prescribed twist to a yarn following a break in the yarn as it travels between a twist spindle of the twist apparatus and a wind-up package of the twist apparatus includes drawing off a twist yarn end from the wind-up package, securing it at a fixed securement point with a portion thereof having an intact twist turn, and cutting the drawn off twist yarn end. The twist yarn end from the wind-up package with the spin yarn end of the yarn from the twist spindle are then knotted or spliced to one another. Thereafter, the re-commencing of the operation of the wind-up package is effected with a delay relative to the re-commencing of the twist spindle operation such that the prescribed twist has propagated through the knotting or splicing location to the fixed securement point.
