Description: FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates in general to yarn drawing-in nozzles, and in particular to a yarn drawing-in nozzle used in a yarn drawing-in apparatus wherein a yarn or thread is drawn through an eye of a drawn-through member with the aid of compressed air. DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART A yarn drawing-in apparatus, wherein a yarn or thread is drawn through a drawn-through member, is normally employed in the fields dealing with filament materials such as yarns, threads or the like, and as the representative example, there is known an automatic warp drawing-in apparatus used in weaving machine factories. In such a warp drawing-in apparatus, there are provided yarn drawing-in nozzles comprising compression nozzles each divided into upper and lower blocks, and a yarn is drawn automatically through an eye of a drawn-through member such a heddle or dropper which is positioned between the compression nozzles, with the aid of the flow of compressed air supplied to the compression nozzles. Such yarn drawing-in nozzles are disclosed in Japanese patent application No. 62-153002 that has already been filed by the present applicant, and shown in Figs. 6 through 8. In Figs. 6 through 8, a compression nozzle is generally designated by reference numeral 1 and includes an upper block 2 and a lower block 3. The upper block 2 is formed with a guide passage 4 having a square cross section which gradually contracts in a yarn drawing-in direction indicated by the arrow y in Fig. 6. The upper portion of the upper block 2 is connected through a pin 5 to an arm 6a of an opening and closing mechanism 6. The lower block 3 is formed at the upstream side of the yarn drawing-in direction y with a main compressed air injecting bore 7 and at the downstream side with an auxiliary compressed air injecting bore 8. The compressed air injecting bores 7 and 8 are connected with a source of compressed air (not shown), the compressed air being injected to the guide passage 4 through the main compressed air injecting bore 7 and toward an eye 9a of a drawn-through member 9 positioned downstream of the compression nozzle 1 through the auxiliary compressed air injecting bore 8. A yarn 10 is one which is drawn through the eye 9a of the drawn-through member 9 by the compression nozzle 1, and the yarn 10 with its distal end 10a raised upward is supplied to the upstream side of the compression nozzle 1 by means of a yarn supplying apparatus (not shown). The supplied yarn 10 is inserted into a passage inlet 4a of the guide passage 4, while its distal end portion 10b is curved as shown in Fig. 6 by the compressed air injected from a yarn insertion nozzle 11. The yarn 10 is then drawn in the guide passage 4 with the aid of the flow of the compressed air injected from the main compressed air injecting bore 7 to the guide passage 4. The distal end 10a of the yarn 10 is further drawn through the eye 9a of the drawn-through member 9 with the aid of the flow of the compressed air injected from the compressed air injecting bores 7 and 8. A second compression nozzle 12, which is substantially identical to the compression nozzle 1, is provided downstream of the drawn-through member 9 so that the yarn drawn through the eye 9a of the drawn-through member 9 by the compression nozzle 1 is further drawn through the second nozzle 12. It is noted that, in the case that a plurality of drawn-through members are provided, the yarn 10 can be drawn successively through the drawn-through members by providing along the yarn drawing-in direction y a plurality of compression nozzles substantially identical to the compression nozzle 1 and corresponding in number to the drawn-through members. After the yarn drawing-in operation is completed, the opening and closing mechanism 6 is operated and the arm 6a is rotated upward in the clockwise direction by the rotational shaft 6b, as shown in Fig. 8. Consequently, the upper block 2 is moved away from the lower block 3. At the same time, the drawn-through member 9 that has been positioned moves in a direction perpendicular to the yarn drawing-in direction y, and the yarn drawn through the drawn-through member 9 is removed from the upper and lower blocks 2 and 3 moved away from each other, together with the drawn-through member 9. For the next yarn drawing-in operation, the opening and closing mechanism 6 is again operated and the arm 6a is rotated downward in the opposite direction until a lower mating surface 2a of the upper block 2 is brought into engagement with an upper mating surface 3a of the lower block 3 to form again the guide passage 4. The mating surfaces 2a and 3a are required to be tightly engaged with each other in order that the guide passage 4 is tightly closed and that the flow of the compressed air for drawing in the yarn is formed without disturbance and that the yarn 10 is smoothly passed through the guide passage 4 with the aid of the flow of the compressed air. For this reason, as shown in Fig. 6, between the arm 6a and the upper block 2 there are provided compression springs 13 and 14 so that, when the upper mating surface 2a of the upper block 2 is brought into engagement with the lower mating surface 3a of the lower block 3, the upper block 2 is forced against the lower block 3 and the mating surfaces 2a and 3a are tightly engaged with each other. As previously described, in the conventional yarn drawing-in nozzle, the compression nozzle 1 includes the upper and lower blocks 2 and 3, and the upper and lower blocks 2 and 3 are moved toward and away from each other by the opening and closing mechanism 6, each time the drawn-through member is removed together with the yarn 10. For this reason, there was the drawback that yarn drawing-in failure tends to occur and the apparatus becomes expensive to eliminate the yarn drawing-in failure. That is, in Fig. 6, in the case that the yarn 10 is inserted into the passage inlet 4a of the guide passage 4, the yarn 10 is formed with the curved portion 10b due to the compressed air injected from the yarn insertion nozzle 11 and contacts with the end portions of the mating surfaces 2a and 3a of the passage inlet 4. Further, since the yarn 10 itself has sometimes been defibered or since sometimes defibering of the yarn will occur due to the compressed air injected from the yarn insertion nozzle 11, a single yarn of the defibered yarn 10 was sometimes hooked between the mating surface 2a and the mating surface 3a and cut, thereby incurring yarn drawing-in failure. In addition, since the yarn 10 is inserted into the passage inlet 4a after the curved portion 10b is once formed, contact resistance will occur between the curved portion 10b and the passage inlet 4a and sometimes the yarn 10 is hooked on the passage inlet 4a. For this reason, sometimes the yarn 10 is not inserted into the guide passage 4 and thus the yarn drawing-in failure was incurred. This tendency is remarkable in a yarn having stiffness, and therefore in the case of a yarn having stiffness, it could not be avoided that the yarn drawing-in failure occurs very frequently. In order to overcome the yarn drawing-in failure described above, the working accuracy of the mating surface 2a of the upper block 2 and the mating surface 3a of the lower block 3 has been enhanced to make very small an interstice between the mating surfaces 2a and 3a. However, there occurs the drawback that the apparatus itself becomes expensive, since the working cost is increased. Furthermore, even if the accuracy of the mating surfaces 2a and 3a were enhanced, the aforesaid yarn drawing-in failure could not be overcome completely in the case of a very fine yarn, since an interstice is still formed between the upper and lower blocks 2 and 3. Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide an improved yarn drawing-in nozzle which can prevent the yarn drawing-in failure as produced by the conventional yarn drawing-in nozzle and which is structurally simpler and less expensive than the conventional yarn drawing-in nozzle. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the invention in its broadest aspect relates to a yarn drawing-in nozzle for drawing a yarn through an eye of a drawn-through member, comprising a compression nozzle provided in an upstream side of said drawn-through member and having a block, the block being formed with a guide passage to which compressed air is supplied and into which said yarn with its distal end portion is inserted and through which said yarn is drawn through said eye with the aid of said compressed air; said guide passage being defined by an axially elongated groove. The invention is characterised in that said groove has an open upper end and a bottom surface along a yarn drawing-in direction, and has an injection bore communicating with said bottom surface and connected at its lower end to the compressed air source. Preferably the nozzle includes a plurality of second drawn-through members having eyes through which the yarn is to be drawn, the second drawn-through members being spaced apart from each other and from the first-mentioned drawn-through member in the yarn drawing-in direction; and including a plurality of second compression nozzles between the first-mentioned drawn-through member and the second drawn-through members, each of the second compression nozzles having a block formed with a guide passage to which compressed air is supplied and through which the yarn is drawn. The guide passages of the second compression nozzles preferably are each defined by an axially elongated groove having an upper open end and a bottom surface along the yarn drawing-in direction, the compressed air being supplied through an injection bore communicating with said bottom surface. It is also preferred that the block of the compression nozzle, or as the case may be the block of each compression nozzle, is a one-piece block. In the present invention, even if a yarn curved and supplied to the first compression nozzle is stiff or very fine, the yarn can be smoothly drawn through the drawn-through member without being hooked on the guide passage and having contact resistance to the guide passage. Even in the case that a plurality of second compression nozzles are provided in the downstream side of the first compression nozzle to draw in the yarn, the yarn can be smoothly drawn in without being hooked on the guide passage, since each of the second compression nozzles is substantially identical to the first compression nozzle in preferred embodiments. Consequently, yarn drawing-in failure is overcome, and the apparatus according to the present invention becomes inexpensive since it is structurally simple.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Referring now in greater detail to the drawings and initially to Figs. 1 through 4, there is shown a yarn drawing-in nozzle 40 constructed in accordance with a first embodiment of the present invention. In Fig. 1, reference numerals 21 and 22 designate a first drawn-through member and a second drawn-through member, respectively, which are disposed from an upstream side to a downstream side of a yarn drawing-in direction Y. Although, in this embodiment, the second drawn-through member 22 comprises a single member, it may also be replaced with a plurality of drawn-through members. The first drawn-through member 21 is formed with an eye 21a through which a yarn or thread 29 is drawn in the yarn drawing-in direction Y, and the second drawn-through member 22 is also formed with an eye 22a through which the yarn 29 is drawn in the yarn drawing-in direction Y. A first compression nozzle 24 having a first block 23 in one piece is provided in the upstream side of the first drawn-through member 21, while a second compression nozzle 25 is provided between the first and second drawn-through members 21 and 22. Further, a third compression nozzle 26 is provided in the downstream side of the second drawn-through member 22. In this embodiment, a plurality of compression nozzles, disposed successively between the first drawn-through member 21 and a plurality of the second drawn-through members, comprise the second compression nozzle 25 and the third compression nozzle 26, and the second and third compression nozzles 25 and 26 have a second block 27 in one piece and a third block 28 in one piece, respectively, which are substantially the same as the first block 23 of the first compression nozzle 24. The first block 23 of the first compression nozzle 24 is formed at its upper half portion with a first guide passage 30 to which compressed air is supplied and through which the yarn 29 to be inserted from the upstream side of the first compression nozzle 24 is guided by the compression air to draw the yarn 29 through the eye 21a of the first drawn-through member 21. As shown in Fig. 2, the first guide passage 30 is defined by an upwardly open, elongated groove 31, the elongated groove 31 having a width narrow along the yarn drawing-in direction Y and an axially elongated bottom surface 32. An upper open end 33 of the elongated groove 31 defining the guide passage 30 also have a narrow width and is axially elongated along the yarn drawing-in direction Y. The first block 23 of the first compression nozzle 24 is further formed at its upstream side with an inlet injection bore 34 and at its downstream side with an outlet injection bore 35. The inlet injection bore 34 is at its lower end connected to a source of compressed air (not shown), and is curved at its upper end in the yarn drawing-in direction Y and opens through a recess 36 to the bottom surface 32 of the elongated groove 31. The outlet injection bore 35 is also at its lower end connected to the compressed air source (not shown) and curved at its upper end and opens toward the central portion of the eye 21a of the first drawn-through member 21. The recess 36 formed at the upper end of the inlet injection bore 34 is slowly inclined upward from the upper end of the inlet injection bore 34 in the yarn drawing-in direction Y and terminates in a passage outlet 37 of the bottom surface 32. If the compressed air is introduced into the inlet and outlet injection bores 34 and 35 from the aforesaid compressed air source, the compressed air introduced into the inlet injection bore 34 will be supplied through the recess 36 to the bottom surface 32 and form a flow of the yarn drawing-in direction Y, while the compressed air introduced into the outlet injection bore 35 will form a flow directed toward the central portion of the eye 21a of the first drawn-through member 21. A yarn insertion nozzle 38 is provided in the upstream side of the first compression nozzle 24 and connected to the aforesaid compressed air source so that the compressed air is injected along the yarn drawing-in direction Y toward a passage inlet 39 of the guide passage 30. If the yarn 29 with its distal end 29a raised upward is supplied to the upstream side of the first compression nozzle 24 by a supply mechanism (not shown), the yarn 29 is curved at the distal end portion 29b thereof toward the yarn drawing-in direction Y by the compressed air injected from the yarn insertion nozzle 38 and is inserted into the passage inlet 39 of the guide passage 30. The curved distal end portion 29b of the yarn 29 is further drawn in by the flow of the compressed air supplied from the inlet injection bore 34. As shown in Fig. 3, the distal end portion 29b is drawn toward a direction A from a position indicated by the broken lines to a position indicated by the solid line through the open end 33 of the elongated groove 31, and then the distal end 29a is drawn near the bottom surface 32. It is noted that, as shown by an encircled portion B in Fig. 1, in the vicinity of the passage inlet 39 of the open end 33, there is formed, by the flow of the compressed air supplied from the inlet injection bore 34, the flow from the outside toward the elongated groove 31 which causes the distal end portion 29b of the yarn 29 to be drawn within the elongated groove 31. Next, the distal end 29a drawn near the bottom surface 32 is drawn through the eye 21a of the first drawn-through member 21 by the flow of the compressed air supplied from the inlet and outlet injection bores 34 and 35. It is noted that the second block 27 of the second compression nozzle 25 and the third block 28 of the third compression nozzle 26 are substantially identical in construction and function to the first block 23 of the first compression nozzle 24 and that an axially elongated groove 31s of the second block 27 and an axially elongated groove 31t of the third block 28 are also substantially identical to the axially elongated groove 31 of the first block 23. The detailed description of the second and third blocks 27 and 28 will therefore be omitted. The yarn 29 drawn through the eye 21a of the first drawn-through member 21 by the first compression nozzle 24 is then drawn through the eye 22a of the second drawn-through member 22 by the second and third compression nozzles 25 and 26 in the same manner as the first compression nozzle 24. Finally, as shown in Fig. 4, the yarn 29 is raised upward from the elongated groove of each compression nozzle by rotating upward in a direction C a yarn removing bar 42 mounted on a rotational shaft 41 which is driven to rotate about its own axis by a drive mechanism (not shown), and is removed in a direction D by an external mechanism, together with the first and second drawn-through members 21 and 22. The operation of the yarn drawing-in nozzle constructed as described above will hereinafter be described in detail. If, in Figs. 1 and 2, the distal end portion 29b of the yarn 29 with the distal end 29a raised upward is supplied to the upstream side of the first compression nozzle 24 by the supply mechanism (not shown), the compressed air is then injected from the yarn insertion nozzle 38 and the distal end portion 29b is curved in the yarn drawing-in direction Y by the compressed air and inserted into the passage inlet 39 of the guide passage 30. At this time, the compressed air supplied to the inlet and outlet injection bores 34 and 35 of the first compression nozzle 24 has formed a flow of the yarn drawing-in direction Y along the bottom surface 32 of the elongated groove 31, and therefore the distal end portion 29b is drawn in the elongated groove 31 by the flow of air directed from the outside toward the elongated groove 31 that has been developed in the vicinity of the passage inlet 39 of the open end 33, as shown in the encircled portion B of Fig. 1. As shown in Fig. 3, the distal end portion 29b is drawn in the direction A and the distal end 29a thereof is drawn toward the bottom surface 32. That is, the distal end portion 29b is once curved in the opposite direction by the compressed air of the yarn insertion nozzle 38, and then the distal end 29a is drawn near the bottom surface 32 by the flow of air directed from the outside toward the elongated groove 31. For this reason, even if the yarn 29 has stiffness, it can be inserted into the guide passage 30 without contact resistance to the guide passage 30. In addition, since the block 23 comprises a block of one piece and thus has no joint portions, a single yarn of the defibered yarn 29 is never hooked on the block 23. The block 23 in one piece is effective particularly to a very fine yarn. It is noted that, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the corners of the passage inlet 39 and the open end 33 of the block 23 are chamfered not so as to hook a single yarn thereon. The distal end 29a of the yarn 29 drawn toward the bottom surface 23 is then drawn through the eye 21a of the first drawn-through member 21 by the flow of the compressed air supplied from the inlet and outlet injection nozzles 34 and 35. The yarn 29 is further drawn through the eye 22a of the second drawn-through member 22 by the second and third compression nozzles 25 and 26. Since each of the second block 27 of the second compression nozzle 25 and the third block 28 of the third compression nozzle 26 also comprises a block of one piece and has no joint portions, the yarn 29 can be smoothly drawn through the eye 22a without being hooked on the blocks. Thereafter, the rotational shaft 41 is driven by the drive mechanism (not shown), and the yarn removing bar 42 is rotated upward in the direction C. Consequently, the yarn 29 is raised upward from the elongated groove of each compression nozzle, and removed in the direction D by the external mechanism (not shown), together with the first and second drawn-through members 21 and 22. As previously described, in the first embodiment shown in Figs. 1 through 4, the guide passage 30 of the first nozzle 24 is constituted by the upwardly open, elongated groove 31, and the compressed air is supplied from the bottom surface 32 of the elongated groove 31 through the inlet injection bore 34. For this reason, the yarn 29 curved and supplied to the first compression nozzle 24 by the yarn insertion nozzle 38 can be smoothly drawn through without being hooked on the guide passage 30 and contact resistance to the guide passage 30, even if the yarn is stiff or very fine. In addition, even in the case that a plurality of compression nozzles (in this embodiments, the second and third compression nozzles 25, 26) are provided in the downstream side of the first compression nozzle 24 to draw a yarn therethrough, the yarn can also be drawn through smoothly, since the second and third compression nozzles 25 and 26 are substantially identical to the first compression nozzle 24. As a result, the aforementioned yarn drawing-in failure can be overcome by the yarn drawing-in nozzle according to the present invention which is structurally simpler and less expensive than the conventional yarn drawing-in nozzle. Referring to Fig. 5, there is shown a second embodiment of the yarn drawing-in nozzle in accordance with the present invention. The members or portions substantially identical to those of the first embodiment shown in Figs. 1 through 4 are designated by like reference numerals for avoiding the detailed description. In Fig. 5, reference numeral 43 designates a first compression nozzle 43 provided in the upstream side of a first drawn-through member 21, and reference numerals 44 and 45 designate a second compression nozzle and a third compression nozzle, respectively. The second and third compression nozzles 44 and 45 constitute a plurality of compression nozzles which are successively disposed between the first drawn-through member 21 and a plurality of second drawn-through members. In this embodiment, the plurality of second drawn-through members are replaced with a single drawn-through member 22. The first compression nozzle 43 is substantially identical in construction and function to the first compression nozzle 24 shown in Figs. 1 and 2. Therefore, the same operation and effect as the first embodiment shown in Figs. 1 through 4 can also be obtained by the second embodiment of Fig. 5. Since the second and third compression nozzles 44 and 45 are substantially identical in construction and function to the compression nozzle 1 shown in Figs. 6 and 7, they are designated by like reference numerals to avoid the description. Further, in the case that a plurality of second compression nozzles are provided in the downstream of the first compression nozzle 43 to draw a yarn therethrough, the compression nozzle shown in Fig. 6 can be used as a second nozzle, since the first compression nozzle 43 according to the present invention is provided in the upstream side of the yarn drawing-in direction Y to prevent the distal end portion of the yarn, which is curved at the inlet of the compression nozzle, from being hooked on the block of the compression nozzle. Accordingly, the yarn drawing-in failure can also be overcome by the second embodiment which is structurally simple and inexpensive. As will be understood from the first embodiment, even if a yarn curved and supplied to the first compression nozzle is stiffness or very fine, the yarn can be smoothly inserted and drawn without being hooked on the guide passage or contact resistance to the guide passage, since the guide passage of the first compression nozzle is defined by the upwardly open, elongated groove and since the compression air is supplied from the bottom surface of the elongated groove. In addition, even in the case that a plurality of second compression nozzles are provided in the downstream side of the first compression nozzle to draw in the yarn, the yarn can be smoothly drawn in without being hooked on the guide passage, since each of the second compression nozzles is substantially identical to the first compression nozzle. Consequently, yarn drawing-in failure is overcome, and the apparatus according to the present invention becomes inexpensive since it is structurally simple. While the yarn insertion nozzle 38 has been provided in the first and second embodiments, it is noted that the provision of the nozzle 38 is not always necessary in the case of normal yarns. As will be understood from the second embodiment, even if a yarn curved and supplied to the first compression nozzle is stiff or very fine, the yarn can be smoothly inserted and drawn without being hooked on the guide passage or contact resistance to the guide passage, since the guide passage of the first compression nozzle is defined by the upwardly open, elongated groove and since the compression air is supplied from the bottom surface of the elongated groove. Furthermore, in the case that a plurality of second compression nozzles are provided in the downstream of the first compression nozzle to draw a yarn therethrough, the compression nozzle shown in Fig. 6 can be used as a second nozzle, since the first compression nozzle according to the present invention is provided in the upstream side of the yarn drawing-in direction Y to prevent the distal end portion of the yarn, which is curved at the inlet of the compression nozzle, from being hooked on the block of the compression nozzle. Accordingly, the yarn drawing-in failure can also be overcome by the second embodiment which is structurally simple and inexpensive.
