MUMBAI, India, March 14 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202514070895 A) filed by Tmt Machinery, Inc., Osaka, Japan, on July 25, 2025, for 'textile machine.'

Inventor(s) include Araki Shumpei; Kojima Shogo; and Yonekura Tosei.

The application for the patent was published on March 13, under issue no. 11/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "An object of the present invention is to assist in determining whether the replacement, etc. of a yarn guide is necessary, with a simple structure and without checking of the quality of a yarn. A spun yarn take-up system 1 includes a yarn guide 31 configured to guide a running yarn Y and a detection unit 32. The yarn guide 31 includes an inner layer part 41 and a surface layer part 42 provided for the contact with the yarn Y. The surface layer part 42 is made of a material whose conductivity is different from the conductivity of a material of the inner layer part 41, and located so as to cover at least a part of the inner layer part 41. The detection unit 32 is electrically connected to the yarn guide 31. The detection unit 32 is able to detect charging information which is information regarding an electric charge amount of each yarn guide 31. The conductivity of the material of the surface layer part 42 is higher than that of the material of the inner layer part 41. The surface layer part 42 is electrically and directly connected to the detection unit 32, and the inner layer part 41 is electrically connected to the detection unit 32 via the surface layer part 42."
