PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a piecing operation support apparatus for ring type spinning machines which can reduce the waste of movement man-hours of a piecing operator and allows the operator to reliably check a spindle where yarn breakage has occurred.SOLUTION: A piecing operation support apparatus is used for ring spinning machines 11 including a yarn breakage detection part (a yarn breakage sensor 13) for each spindle 12. The piecing operation support apparatus includes: position detection parts (human detection sensors 16 and 17) for detecting the position of an operator performing piecing operation; indication parts (yarn breakage indicator lamps 14 and large-sized lamps 15) for guiding the operator to the position of yarn breakage; and control parts (a host computer 20 and controllers 18) for controlling the indication of the indication parts on the basis of the position of yarn breakage and the position of the operator. 【課題】糸継ぎ作業員の移動工数の無駄を抑制するとともに、作業員が糸切れ錘の確認を確実に行うことができるリング式紡機の糸継ぎ作業支援装置を提供する。【解決手段】糸継ぎ作業支援装置は、糸切れ検出部（糸切れセンサ１３）を錘１２毎に備えたリング精紡機１１の糸継ぎ作業支援装置である。そして、糸継ぎ作業を行う作業員の位置を検出する位置検出部（人感センサ１６，１７）と、糸切れ位置へ作業員を誘導する表示部（糸切れ表示ランプ１４及び大型ランプ１５）と、糸切れ位置と作業員の位置とに基づいて表示部の表示を制御する制御部（ホストコンピュータ２０及び制御装置１８）とを備える。【選択図】図１
