Abstract: The present invention is directed to a catamenial tampon which includes a primary absorbent member and a withdrawal cord having a withdrawal portion and an attachment portion. The attachment portion is joined to the primary absorbent member. The withdrawal cord includes a composite yarn, which includes a continuous string, and a secondary absorbent member joined to a part of the continuous string. The continuous string is woven according to a predetermined weaving manner after being provisionally twisted, thereby forming the attachment portion and the withdrawal portion.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a catamenial tampon, comprising: a primary absorbent member; and a withdrawal cord having a withdrawal portion and an attachment portion. The attachment portion is joined to the primary absorbent member. The withdrawal cord includes a composite yarn which includes a continuous string, and a secondary absorbent member joined to a part of the continuous string. The continuous string which has the secondary absorbent member joined thereto is woven according to a predetermined weaving manner after being provisionally twisted, thereby forming the attachment portion and the withdrawal portion. The present invention is also directed to a composite yarn having thinner portions and thicker portions which are alternatively disposed. The composite yarn comprises: a continuous string; and a plurality of fleeces intermittently joined to the continuous string.

Abstract: In a drawing false-twisting method, which draws a twisted yarn, heat-sets the drawn and twisted yarn, cools the yarn by making the yarn travel in contact with the surface of the guide groove of a cooling plate and untwists the yarn to obtain a textured bulk yarn, the yarn is moved laterally to spread the oil transferred from the yarn to the surface of the guide groove.

Abstract: A method for soft winding around a bobbin a false twisted yarn, which is delivered from a false twisting zone wherein false twists imparted into a fed yarn and running back therealong are heat set and which is heat treated by a second heater, the false twisted yarn being fed by means of a yarn delivery means to the bobbin in a winding apparatus. The time period wherein the false twisted yarn travels from the yarn delivery means to the bobbin is adjusted at a special value so that a soft wound cheese having a uniform and low apparent density and good shape can be obtained.
