  • False twist machine
    Patent number: 4218870
    Abstract: An improved false twist machine employing a friction disc arrangement which provides high twist in the multi-filament yarn on the entering side and increased yarn feeding rate on the outlet side to reduce the tension of the exiting yarn to lessen the number of filament breaks. The friction disc arrangement has discs of increased thickness to diameter ratio on the entering side when compared to the exit side, to provide increased yarn angle to accomplish the desired high twist. The reduced thickness to diameter ratio on the exit side increases yarn forwarding action, thus reducing the outlet tension.
