摘要:
An improved chainless mercerizer utilizing a series of graduated rollers which increase the efficiency of a chainless mercerizer. Each driven roller is constructed incrementally larger in diameter than the previous driven roller in the direction of fabric travel through the mercerizer. The fabric being mercerized is stretched incrementally tighter as it is transferred from one driven roller to the next succeeding one, thereby increasing the forces opposing widthwise shrinkage. The idler rollers have a uniform diameter approximately that of any of the driven rollers.

Yarns with improved strength, luster, elongation, and toughness are produced by a rapid and continuous process wherein singles and plied yarns which contain about 25 percent or more cotton are stretched before, during, and after immersion in liquid ammonia.
