MUMBAI, India, April 20 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202514080461 A) filed by Tmt Machinery, Inc., Osaka, Japan, on Aug. 25, 2025, for 'yarn processing apparatus.'
Inventor(s) include Yonekura Tosei; Kojima Shogo; and Araki Shumpei.
The application for the patent was published on April 17, under issue no. 16/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "In a yarn processing apparatus, the state of each of yarns is accurately detected with a simple structure. Yarn guides 45 of a yarn guide unit are conductive or intermediate-conductive at least at contact portions with yarns. A static electricity quantity detection circuit 51 is configured to output a signal corresponding to a voltage value of voltage generated in each yarn guide 45 by static electricity generated in the yarn guide 45. When a voltage difference Dv between the voltage value indicated by the signal output from the static electricity quantity detection circuit 51 and the voltage value of a signal output from a static electricity quantity detection circuit 51 provided for a neighboring yarn guide 45 is equal to or less than a threshold Dva (S102: YES), a controller 52 outputs a first signal which indicates that the state of the yarn at the yarn guide 45 is a predetermined state (S103). When the voltage difference Dv is above the threshold Dva (S102: NO), the controller 52 outputs a second signal which indicates that the state of the yarn Y at the yarn guide 45 is not the predetermined state (S104)."
