Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for producing low crimp polyethylene oxybenzoate (hereinafter designated as PEOB) yarns, and more particularly, multifilament yarns having natural silk-like beautiful appearance and excellent feelings which is characterized by heat treating a PEOB drawn yarn having a Beta value of from 20 to 80 and a shrinkage value in boiling water of from 20 to 35 percent under substantially no tension so as to decrease the Beta -value by more than 10.
Abstract:
A method of continuously dyeing a yarn, which comprises, heating a running yarn to a temperature above the boiling point of a solvent in a dye and contacting said heated yarn with one or more dye applicators having a dye discharge aperture while discharging a dye through said aperture and onto said yarn is disclosed. An apparatus for continuously dyeing a yarn is also disclosed.
Abstract:
A method of supplying weft yarns includes the steps of holding the free end of a predetermined length of yarn to be used for a weft yarn by suction and a portion of its length near the end along a fluid flow path and supplying the held yarn into the shed by means of a yarn carrier which grips the yarn end and traverses the shed. The apparatus for accomplishing the method includes a reserve pipe into which a predetermined length of yarn is placed from a supply and held for insertion into the shed and a fluid ejector to feed the free end of the yarn to a suction holding device across the path of the weft yarn carrier. The carrier is provided with a gripper for holding the free end of the weft yarn as the carrier is flown across the shed with the ejector assisting in the weft yarn feed.
