Abstract:
Effect yarns having an irregular and twisted surface formed from at least two components having different physical properties, at least one of which is a thermoplastic material which are intermittently bonded to form the effect. These effect yarns are produced by heating the yarns to soften at least one component and twisting and untwisting the softened yarns.
Abstract:
A high bulk multifilament textured yarn is disclosed, and process and nozzle for manufacturing same. The yarn has alternating compact zones and open zones with the specific volume of the open zones being at least twice that of the compact zones, the open zones being substantially of oblong form with at least a portion of the filaments thereof being distributed in a random manner in the interior of said open zones and entangled therein. The yarn is produced by passing at least one effect yarn through a turbulence chamber under substantially no tension, with the yarn being fed substantially axially to said turbulence chamber by way of a cylindrical conduit having a smaller cross-sectional area than said turbulence chamber. The yarn of this invention may be used to make woven or knitted goods and is suitable for use in hosiery.
Abstract:
Process and apparatus for texturizing a thermoplastic yarn to provide a residual twist couple by generating a twist in the yarn as the yarn is unwound and contacting the twisted yarn with a twist barrier ring downstream from a heating element and upstream from a ring and traveller spindle windup system.
Abstract:
A process for the simultaneous texturizing, i.e. crimping, and dyeing or finishing of thermoplastic yarns comprising packing and compressing the yarns into a confined space through introduction of a flow of a compressed fluid heated to a temperature sufficient to set the yarns, allowing a portion of the compressed fluid to provide movement of the yarns axially in the confined space with the remainder of the fluid escaping laterally from the confined space into further annular space under a pressure lower than the pressure of the confined space, but higher than atmospheric pressure; and simultaneously introducing at least one dyeing solution or finishing agent into the confined space over the compressed yarns, such process being characterized in that the compressed yarn is continuously passed through at least one expansion zone and thereafter through at least one zone in which a further fluid is introduced under pressure. Such process allows for the simultaneous dyeing or finishing of thermoplastic yarns in a high speed texturizing process.

Abstract:
A process for the production of a multistrand yarn having a coherent structure by interlacing the strands thereof comprising subjecting the strands, while substantially parallel, to the action of a rapidly moving fluid delivered from at least two jets in a zone substantially parallel to the passage of the yarn, the two jets being in substantially parallel planes, but delivering the rapidly moving fluid in substantially opposite directions. The apparatus for the production of such multistrand yarn includes two plates or blocks having abutting surfaces, at least one of the abutting surfaces having recesses therein defining at least two straight or curved conduits for passage of a rapidly moving fluid in opposite directions, impinging a yarn traveling in a plane substantially parallel to the rapidly moving fluid.
Abstract:
A device for the production of yarns having interlaced strands which includes a first plate having a passage for the yarn therethrough; a second plate having a passage for the yarn therethrough aligned with the passage of the first plate and a surface in abutting relation to a surface of the first plate; and at least two curved conduits defined by recesses in at least one of the abutting surfaces of the first and second plates, such conduits communicating with the passages through the first and second plates. Means is provided to hold the yarn in a substantially constant position when traveling through the passages of the first and second plates and the curved conduits converge substantially tangentially toward such means to hold the yarn in place. When a rapidly moving fluid, e.g. air, is passed through the curved conduits the same impinges upon the yarn and interlaces the same.

Abstract:
THE SPECIFICATION DESCRIBES A METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR FORMING A NON-WOVEN FIBROUS WEB, E.G. SUITABLY FOR PADDING OR STUFFING. A TOW IS SPREAD AND FED WITHOUT TENSION BY TWO ROLLERS, ROTATING AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS, ONTO A CONVEYOR BELT, AND A PUSHER BLADE EXTENDING OVER THE FULL WIDTH INTERMITTENTLY PRESSES ON THE TOW AND MOVES FASTER THAN THE BELT. THE RESULTING WEB IS SPRAYED WITH A BONDING AGENT WHICH IS THEN CORED.
Abstract:
A yarn handling pneumatic device including a casing having a distribution chamber therein, a delivery conduit adapted to pick up yarn at one end to move the yarn through a delivery tube and an egress tube co-axially aligned in the device to a yarn collecting device, and a lever for pivotally sliding the egress tube to therefore control the area of a control orifice defined between the outlet of the delivery tube and the inlet lip of the egress tube in the distribution chamber, the inlet lip having an inner surface configuration defined by a surface of revolution having an arcuate generatrix with a point of inflexion. The egress tube is advanced toward the delivery tube to define a restricted position for initially introducing yarn into the pneumatic device and is thereafter moved away from the delivery tube to increase traction on the yarn as it passes through the pneumatic device. In a modification of the yarn handling pneumatic device a cutting mechanism is provided therein to selectively cut yarn passing therethrough.
