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.
