  • Patent number: 10654663
    Abstract: The present invention is a mechanism that reverses a product placed between a first upper conveyor belt and a second lower conveyor belt. The first one is linked to at least one cylinder on one end, characterized in that the reversal mechanism contains at least one means for clamping the product placed against the first conveyor belt moving on a portion of the periphery of the cylinder.

  • Patent number: 10151052
    Abstract: Disclosed is a yarn management device in a yarn treatment line downstream of a crimping box and upstream of a thermofixing means for crimping, said device including a fixed support and at least one axial drum positioned upstream of the thermofixing means. In some cases, the inlet of the crimping box is formed by one or more crimping rollers for feeding at least one yarn into the crimping box. The drum is traversed by a yarn in the crimping box and mounted on the fixed support of the device so as to perform a substantially axial rotation, allowing the generation of at least one false twist on the treated yarns.

  • Patent number: 9994417
    Abstract: This invention relates to a roller for a wire-feed device having a main cylindrical body forming a hub designed to be driven in rotation about its axis of symmetry, a peripheral cylindrical structure forming an idler roller mounted round the perimeter of the main body, and a means for the cylindrical structure to be driven in rotation by the main body. Moreover, the internal diameter of the cylindrical structure is greater than the external diameter of the main body so as to create a space between the cylindrical structure and the main body to enable a displacement of the cylindrical structure in relation to the main body with a misalignment of the axis of rotation of the cylindrical structure in relation to the axis of rotation of the main body.

  • Patent number: 9790628
    Abstract: Disclosed is a device for spreading at least one yarn on a conveyor structure, the device including a rotating structure operated by a motor and having at least one point for supplying yarn in the region of the axis of rotation of the rotating structure. The device also includes a channel directed inside the rotating structure, radially in relation to the axis of rotation of the rotating structure, and opening out in the region of an orifice for outputting the yarn which is radially offset in relation to the axis of rotation of the rotating structure. The device further includes a spreader plate which is axially mounted on the rotating structure and comprises the orifice for outputting yarn and is intended to be positioned in the plane and against the surface of the conveyor structure.

  • Patent number: 7195194
    Abstract: A process for automatically removing packages in a winding station of a yarn winding machine, having elements (1) for holding and disengaging a full package (2), a winding guide (3) guiding the yarn to be wound during winding, a bar (7) for disengagement from the winding guide (3), a package drive (4), heads (5) for gripping and holding the spool (6) and a device (8) for supplying the station with spools (6). The process includes providing, during each removal cycle, a relaxation of the tension of the supply yarn, then restarting a new winding cycle after completing the removal cycle. The invention is more particularly applicable to the field of the textile industry, in particular machines for winding yarns.

  • Patent number: 7103945
    Abstract: Device for joining yarns between two machines for treating yarns. The present invention relates to a device for joining yarns between two machines for treating yarns, such as thermofixing and winding or beaming machines or steaming and winding or beaming machines or between means of feeding a multitude of yarns and weaving or tufting machines, characterized in that it is primarily made up of a supporting frame (1), a means (2) for individually guiding the yarns coming from the downstream machine and inserting these yarns in the means (3) for joining by entangling, by fusion or otherwise, a means (4) of individually bringing in and temporarily holding the yarns coming from the upper machine (4), a device (5) for inserting these yarns in the means (3) for joining by entangling, by fusion or otherwise, sets (6 to 8) for locking the yarns in position before and during the joining by entangling, by fusion or otherwise, and a means of cutting the free ends of the yarns before said joining.
