  • Apparatus for producing yarn
    Patent number: 5170619
    Abstract: In a spinning method in which, after a bundle of fibers has been drafted, the fibers are introduced into a twisting device using an air jet. The fibers are formed into bound spun yarns by the twisting device and are wound on a package by a winding device. The spinning method includes the steps of arranging and doubling at least two spun yarns upstream from where a twisting torque applied to the spun yarn by the twisting device disappears, entangling the spun yarns by the residual twisting torque, and thereafter winding them on a package.

  • Method of guiding yarn end in air spinning apparatus
    Patent number: 4517794
    Abstract: A device for the uniform retrieval of yarn ends in an air spinning device. A suction force gradient is created between the air jet nozzle and the waste suction pipe. Gravitational force and the suction gradient cause broken yarn ends to drop from the air jet nozzle orifice toward the waste suction pipe. When yarn piecing is desired, a piecing suction pipe retrieves the yarn end from the nozzle orifice.
