Abstract: A top-drive filling spindle for use in the manufacture of textile yarn is provided wherein the tapered tip thereof is of a through hardened steel material that would more readily resist wear caused by the driving action of the quill disposed thereon. A top-drive filling spindle having wear on the tapered tip thereof can advantageously be retipped by grinding the worn tip to a predetermined size; applying a sleeve of through hardened steel or the like thereover; securing the sleeve thereon; and, finally grinding the thusly secured sleeve to the standard taper for top-drive filling spindles. With the application of the through hardened sleeve, it is anticipated that spindle wear would not occur for perhaps six to twelve years or more -- a two to three fold increase over the life of spindles currently used by those skilled in the art.

Abstract: An air duct is located opposite a separating opening which opens into the space containing the fiber opening roll so as to receive impurities centrifuged from the opening roll. The separating opening has a wall which forms an acute angle with the opposite wall of the duct so that the impurities can be deflected off the duct wall into the same direction as the air flow in the duct. The duct is narrowed downstream of this point in order to accelerate the air flow and entrained impurities out of the machine via a suction duct. This also stretches out any loose fibers in the flow for rapid removal in order to prevent clogging of the suction duct.

Abstract: This invention relates to an apparatus for false twisting synthetic filament yarns, which apparatus is in the form of an air rotated nozzle having tangential inlet bores and two central outlet bores. The twisting chamber is set at an angle of 2.degree. to 40.degree. to the draw-off direction of the filament. The special advantage of this apparatus according to the invention is that it ensures smooth movement of the filament outside the twisting chamber.

Abstract: This invention relates to an apparatus and method for removing dust and dirt from the process of making yarn in an open-end spinner. It also improves the quality of the finished yarn product. The device comprises a conventional type open-end spinner with a plurality of fine holes critically spaced and installed in the vertex of the V-groove.

Abstract: A spun-type yarn having a unique configuration and useful properties is manufactured by a novel process which comprises forming a ribbon-shaped fiber bundle being substantially free from twists and composed of randomly oriented continuous filaments, each of which comprises random bends and loops along its length, and then false twisting the ribbon-shaped bundle to consolidate it into a yarn. In the false-twisting, some of the filaments are broken.

Abstract: Yarn of a fineness between Nm 60 and Nm 250 comprises fibres from the fur of angora rabbits. The fibres are pretreated with a two-component composition of an antistatic agent and an agent for increasing the adhesability of the fibres. The pretreated fibres, with or without other fibres such as synthetic fibres, are spun together with an uninterrupted carrier thread of a cross-section up to one third of the cross-section of the spun yarn.

Abstract: Disclosed is a high speed binding device wherein a package wound with a binding thread is fixed to a flange of a flyer with its thread-winding axis in parallel with the rotation axis of said flyer and the binding thread is drawn out in the direction of the winding axis; and thereafter said binding thread is passed through a first tensioner for imparting to the binding thread a back tension decreased with a rise in the rotation speed of the flyer and then through a second tensioner for imparting to the binding thread a back tension increased with a rise in said rotation speed, thereby to cause said decrease in the back tension to be offset by said increase in the back tension, thus to bind, with a substantially constant back tension, the binding thread about the outer periphery of an element assembly passing through a through hole coaxially bored through the flyer.

Abstract: A running yarn is spliced into a running tow by entangling filaments of the tow with and about filaments of the yarn with an air-jet device, the leading portion of the yarn is severed to leave a small protruding tail, and the tail is entangled within the tow with a second air-jet device. The air-jet devices comprise two halves which are separated and positioned on each side of the tow until a splice is to be formed; they are then closed to form cylindrical treatment chambers of diameters which impart a rounded shape to the tow, so that filaments are entangled about the yarn by the air jets. The air-jet devices are preferably designed to provide a forwarding action on the filaments.

The terminal portions are mounted in bores on each side of the elongated metal tubular part of the twist tube and at least one of the coated terminal portions is soldered into its associated bore at a temperature which does not modify the crystalline metal structure of the twist tube nor cause thermal deformation of the twist tube. The opposite terminal portion may be similarly soldered into its bore or it may be elastically mounted in its bore. Processes involving soft soldering and hard soldering are described.
