Abstract:
An apparatus is described for needling a non-woven material with a support (3) which receives at least one needleboard (1) and is drivable in a reciprocating fashion both in the needle-penetration direction (5) as well as the direction of passage (6) of the non-woven material and on which are coupled the connecting rods (10) of two oppositely drivable eccentric drives (8, 9) for the drive in the needle-penetration direction (5) and on which there acts at least one additional eccentric drive (12). In order to provide advantageous constructional conditions it is proposed that the connecting rods (10) of the two oppositely drivable eccentric drives (8, 9) extend inclined in opposite directions with respect to the needle-penetration direction (5), that the additional eccentric drive (12) revolves synchronously with one of the two other eccentric drives (8, 9), that the connecting rod (15) of the additional eccentric drive (12) which is also linked to the support (3) forms with the connecting rod (10) of the synchronously revolving eccentric drive (8) a parallelogram of links for guiding the support (3) and that the eccentric drives (8, 9) which are drivable in opposite directions are provided with a phase shift (null) or are adjustable with respect to the mutual angular position.

Abstract:
An apparatus for making a yarn comprises two pairs of conveying rollers for defibrating at least one fibrous roving, two juxtaposed, closely spaced twisting drums, which succeed the conveying rollers and define a generally triangular twisting space, to which suction is applied and withdrawing rollers for withdrawing the yarn made from the fibers twisted in the triangular twisting space. To ensure desirable spinning conditions in such an apparatus, it is proposed that the two pairs of conveying rollers, which pairs immediately succeed each other, the conveying rollers of the receiving pair, which are remote from the triangular twisting space, define a clamping nip, form a delivering pair of rollers are nearer to the triangular twisting space and defining a guiding nip of rollers permits a slip relative to the fibers, and delivering pair are arranged to be driven at a higher peripheral velocity than the conveying rollers of the receiving pair but not in excess of the velocity of yarn formation.

That ring spinning apparatus is characterized in that the projections of that yarn portion which is approaching the traveler from the deflecting guide and that yarn portion which is departing from the traveler in a plane that extends through the axis of the spindle include an angle that is smaller than 90.degree. and the projections of said approaching and departing yarn portions in a plane that is at right angles to the axis of the spindle include an angle that is larger than 90.degree..
Abstract:
To make a bulky nonwoven web of low density and high uniformity with an apparatus comprising a toothed opening roller rotatable at a sufficient speed to throw off a stream of fibers centrifugally and deposit them on a revolving air-permeable collecting surface member which has a fiber-receiving portion and a suction box having an opening underneath this portion, a guide roller is spaced vertically from the fiber-receiving portion. The guide roller is rotated in a direction opposite to that of the opening roller and has a leading peripheral surface portion facing the opening roller and projecting into the stream of fibers to deflect a part of the fibers, and a trailing peripheral portion constituting a suction zone facing the fiber-receiving portion. A guide wall in the suction box opening controls the air stream sucked through the fiber-receiving portion in the direction of the movement of the collecting surface member.
Abstract:
An apparatus for making a nonwoven web has a carding drum (1), a continuously moving, air-permeable collecting surface member (2) for collecting fibers which fly in an entraining air stream from the carding drum (1), a suction box (4), connected to the collecting surface member (2), and a suction duct (3) extending between the collecting surface member and a peripheral portion of the carding drum (1) which is directly opposite to the collecting surface member (2). In order to ensure desirable conditions of flow in the suction duct (3), air supply passages (10, 11) extend over the working width of the carding drum (1) in the region in which the carding drum (1) is adjacent to leading and trailing suction duct walls (3a and 3b), with respect to the direction of rotation of the carding drum (1), and the air supply passag extend between the carding drum (1) and two drum guards (12 and 13), which respectively extend opposite to the direction of rotation of the drum from the leading duct wall (3a) and in the direction of rotation of the drum from the trailing duct wall (3b).
Abstract:
A fibrous feed web is delivered by a feeder to tooth-carrying carding drums, which rotate at a surface velocity which causes the fibers to flow off under centrifugal force to fly onto a continuously moving, air-permeable collecting surface, which is subjected to suction. In order to make a uniform fibrous web with simple structural means even at a high throughput, the carding drums are closely spaced apart in the direction of movement of the collecting surface and each carding drum which succeeds another carding drum in the direction of movement of the collecting surface constitutes a working roller for such preceding carding drum.
