According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "After one bobbin holder supporting a package stops rotating, a yarn end included in the package is suppressed 5 from being caught on the other bobbin holder side. A spun yarn take-up machine 1 includes a bobbin holder 24A, a bobbin holder 24B, a switching unit (a turret 23, a first partition 27, and a shift guide 29) configured to be able to perform a switching operation, a first partition 27, and a second 10 partition 28. The spun yarn take-up machine 1 is provided with a slide mechanism 60. When the switching operation has been completed and a package P is held by the bobbin holder 24A, the slide mechanism 60 performs a reducing operation of narrowing a gap G1 when viewed in an alignment direction, 15 as compared to a case where a yarn Y is connected between a bobbin B2 and the package P in the switching operation. After the completion of the reducing operation, the slide mechanism 60 prohibits the yarn Y from passing through the gap G1."
