The triangles have bases which follow each other, a first side of each of the triangles running at an angle &agr;, and a second side at an angle &bgr; from the base which has a length l. At least one of the rolls exhibits an embossed pattern that is structured to form the rib pattern in a rolling direction over a full length of the rolled product and is tooth-like in cross-section so that the angle &agr; is in a range of 5 to 60°, the angle &bgr; in a range of 10 to 90°, the length l in a range of 0.01 to 10 mm and the height h is 0.1 to 2 mm.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2002Date of Patent: December 3, 2002Assignee: Alcan Technology & Management Ltd.Inventors: Christian Bartenbach, Roman Fuchs, Jugo Fuhrmann, Jörg Maier

Patent number: 6442923Abstract: A method is provided for producing a yarn from at least two individual yarn components having different physical characteristics so that the produced yarn has a desired visual effect. The method includes continuously supplying at least one yarn component in the form of a bundle of continuous filaments and individually treating the bundle of continuous filaments in a treating stage. The treated bundle of continuous filaments is then conveyed to a collective compacting stage. At least one other yarn component is supplied from a spinning beam or a bobbin directly to the collecting compacting stage and the bundle of continuous filaments and at least one other yarn component are compacted collectively in a collective compacting device.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2000Date of Patent: September 3, 2002Assignee: Maschinenfabrik Rieter AGInventors: Hans-Joachim Weiss, Jörg Maier, Werner Nabulon

Patent number: 5351374Abstract: Threads made from thermoplastic materials are textured, in that they are heated by a delivery medium in a delivery channel and conveyed through an orifice into a stuffer box where they are stuffed to form a plug. In order to maintain plug formation constant, the orifice area is monitored in a sensory manner and the measured signals are used for monitoring purposes as a measured quantity in a control loop, in which the supply of damming back medium, the conveying away speed of the plug, the position of the stuffer box walls, or the supply of delivery medium are used as manipulated variables. The measuring signals produced by monitoring can be compared with thresholds to produce control signals corresponding to the comparison result for activating alarm, warning or stopping elements.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 1993Date of Patent: October 4, 1994Inventors: Werner Nabulon, Jorg Maier, Peter Grossenbacher, Felix Graf, Armin Wirz
