ABSTRACT:
A portable hand-held traversable yarn end splicer adapted to be carried and operated by one hand of an operator while freeing the other hand to serve the splicer preparatory to, during, or after a splicing operation as conditions may require.
The invention is characterized by the splicer of the class described provided with: a traverse mechanism responsive to the grip of the holding hand of the operator for axially reciprocating a tensioned segment of a pair of oppositely extending overlapped yarn ends, a wrap wheel responsive to said grip for consecutively winding one or more helical courses of wrap thread around said segment, a stationary cutter responsive to said grip for severing the tail of the yarn end near the beginning of the first course, and a second stationary cutter responsive to said grip for severing the tail of the other yarn end near the end of the first course.
The invention is further characterized by a splicer of the type described that is provided with a wrap wheel responsive to manual reverse rotation for arresting it in proper position for receiving the broken yarn ends preparatory to the beginning of a splicing operation.
