(54) Automatic winder


(57) An automatic winder includes a rotationally driven traverse drum 8 and a cover member 9 located so as to face a traverse area of the traverse drum 8. The cover member 9 has a yarn catching member 30 including a yarn regulating portion 32 which regulates a cut end of a yarn. The yarn regulating portion 32 is located on at least one side of the traverse area at a position where the yarn regulating portion 32 faces a contact portion 28 between a peripheral surface of the traverse drum 8 and a package P. The yarn regulating portion 32 is formed upright so as to extend away from the peripheral surface of the traverse drum 8. An upright projecting end of the yarn regulating portion 32 is located in proximity to the peripheral surface of the package (Fig. 1).
