Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9935075A1] An apparatus for detecting defects on a yarn (2) during production comprises a detecting device (1) and, respectively upstream and downstream of it, braking deflector means (3) of the yarn (2) and cutting means (4a, 4b) of the yarn (2). The apparatus (1) comprises a drum (5), located between two shoulders (6), on which the yarn (2) passes substantially stretched and partially wound on the drum (5) so that it is pressed against its surface and the helix effect reduced. Light emitting means (7) are provided outside the drum (5), which is transparent and comprises inside an optical sensor (8). This way the light beam coming from the emitting means (7) projects the yarn (2) on the optical sensor (8), that detects continuously the amplitude of its shadow. When the optical sensor (8) detects an increase or decrease of transversal size of the yarn (2), beyond a predetermined threshold value, the yarn is stopped, is cut and then is joined again after having eliminated the defective portion. The apparatus (1) is particularly suitable for detecting defects on chenille yarns or fancy yarns.
