Abstract
A yarn twisting device is simple in structure but capable of easily producing twisted yarn made of a plurality of yarn pieces twisted together. The yarn twisting device includes: a case; an operation wheel rotatably supported by the case so that an outer circumference of the operation wheel is partly exposed outside the case; and a plurality of yarn holding shafts supported by the case so as to protrude from one surface of the case and that axially rotate with the rotation of the operation wheel in the same direction.
Claims9
A yarn twisting device comprising:
- a case;
- an operation wheel rotatably supported in the case in a manner such that an outer circumference of the operation wheel is partly exposed to an outside of the case;
- and
- yarn holding shafts supported by the case and configured to rotate in a same direction with rotation of the operation wheel, each of the yarn holding shafts having an end that protrudes from the case,
- wherein the operation wheel comprises a circular member having an inner circumference provided with gear teeth, and each of the yarn holding shafts comprises a base portion provided with a pinion gear that is in mesh with the gear teeth.
A method for producing twisted yarn using a yarn twisting device comprising a case;
- an operation wheel rotatably supported in the case in a manner such that an outer circumference of the operation wheel is partly exposed to an outside of the case;
- and yarn holding shafts supported by the case and configured to rotate in a same direction with rotation of the operation wheel, each of the yarn holding shafts having an end that protrudes from the case, the method comprising:
- attaching an end of yarn to each of the yarn holding shafts;
- rotating the operation wheel, thereby axially rotating said each of the yarn holding shafts to give twists to the yarn;
- and
- suspending the yarn twisting device on the yarn so that the yarn twisting device rotates as the twists given to the yarn are untwisted.
