Abstract: A yarn texturing machine for texturing and winding a yarn, wherein the feed system withdraws the yarn from a texturing device and advances it to a takeup device. Between the feed system and the takeup system, a yarn accumulation or free space is provided for the purpose of receiving the yarn that has slackened during a package doff due to an overfeed. To withdraw the yarn reliably from the feed system, a conveying nozzle is positioned between the feed system and the free space, and the conveying nozzle includes at least one nozzle bore that is directed in the direction of the advancing yarn, so that an air stream directed through the bore toward the yarn generates a tension on the yarn in the direction of its advance. Subsequently, the yarn is blown into the free space.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method for guiding and cutting a continuously advancing yarn during a package doff in a takeup device. In this connection, a movable yarn guide guides the yarn substantially parallel to a package or a winding tube, which is driven by a drive roll. The yarn guide is followed by a suction device, which consists of a pneumatic suction inlet end and a cutting device. The suction device cooperates with a transfer device for purposes of cutting the yarn during the package doff and receiving the loose end of the advancing yarn. To protect the yarn during the package doff, the yarn guide extends in the yarn path upstream of the driven tube, and the suction device downstream thereof.

Abstract: A yarn winding apparatus and a method for winding a continuously advancing yarn on a driven tube. A bobbin tube is clamped between two clamping plates that are rotatably supported on a package holder, and one of the clamping plates includes in its front edge facing the tube a catching slot with a catching nose that is directed in the direction of rotation, and a clamping slot for clamping the yarn. For purposes of threadup, the yarn is guided by a yarn guide and a suction device to the front edge of the clamping plate in such a manner that the yarn and the clamping plate move essentially in the same direction. To guide the yarn after having dropped into the catching slot, reliably to a lead-in plane of the clamping slot, the clamping plate has in its front edge a recess which undercuts the catching nose and the catching slot and forms a guiding edge on the edge of the clamping plate.

The suction apparatus comprises a tubular duct which extends the length of the winding machine, and the duct mounts a yarn intake tube of relatively small diameter in front of each of the side by side winding stations of the machine. A yarn is adapted to be sucked into and through each of the yarn intake tubes by the relatively high speed air current flowing therethrough, and the yarn then advances into the tubular duct and to a waste container.

Abstract: A yarn winding apparatus for winding a cross wound package, and comprising a cutting blade arranged below the traversing triangle and a yarn lifting member which is adapted for movement between positions below and above the traversing triangle. When the winding of a package is completed, the lifting member is lifted, which in turn lifts the advancing yarn from its traversing triangle, and in addition, the lifting member captures and retains the advancing yarn in a laterally fixed position. Upon the subsequent lowering of the lifting member, the captured yarn is brought into the engagement with the cutting blade and severed. In the lifted position of the lifting member, the advancing yarn also may be lifted from its reciprocating yarn guide so that a plurality of circumferential final winds are formed on the completed package.

Abstract: An elongate and arcuately curved yarn heating plate of the type adapted for use in a false twist yarn crimping machine which utilizes a specific relationship between the curvature of the heating plate and the heat imparted to the yarn so as to permit the length of the heating plate to be shortened as compared to conventional lengths. More particularly, the present invention involves the shortening of the radius of curvature of the heating plate from known and accepted values, which has been found to permit the length of the heating plate to be shortened while still providing adequate heat transfer to the yarn.

Abstract: A method for the doffing of a yarn winding machine which is composed of several side-by-side winding stations, and wherein identical packages having the same build and yarn length are produced on the several stations. The doffing procedure includes the simultaneous cutting of the yarns of all of the stations at the end of the winding cycle, the replacing of the full packages with empty bobbins, the threadup of the empty bobbins, and the simultaneous commencement of the yarn traverse at all of the stations.

Abstract: A yarn false twist crimping apparatus includes a curved heating plate which faces away from the service aisle. A cover is positioned to overlie the upper surface of the heating plate, and the cover is mounted for movement between a closed position covering the heating plate and an open position wherein the heating plate is uncovered. To initially thread-up a yarn, the cover is closed and the yarn is guided to an intermediate position along the outside of the cover. The advance of the yarn is then commenced, and the cover is then momentarily opened so that the yarn drops onto the heating plate.

Abstract: An apparatus for cutting an advancing yarn which comprises a cutting blade which is oriented with respect to the advancing yarn, such that when the advancing yarn and blade are moved into engagement, the yarn is deflected from its path of travel to increase its tension, and the yarn moves along the cutting edge of the blade with no substantial component of movement transverse to the cutting edge. The yarn is thus cleanly cut at a single point along its length, in the same manner as a stationary yarn is cut by hand with a knife.

The yarn thermal treatment means includes a yarn heating plate and a yarn cooling plate. The yarn heating and cooling plates preferably each include a curved yarn path guideway to provide efficient and reliable yarn contact of the advancing yarn with the curved guiding surfaces, and at least the yarn cooling plate extends above a service aisle provided between the central frame of the false twist crimping machine and a yarn supply creel spaced from and extending parallel to the central frame.

Abstract: A yarn twisting apparatus is disclosed wherein a single endless belt is entrained upon first and second roller means. At least one of the roller means is rotatably driven, so that the belt segments which extend between the roller means cross in opposing face-to-face relation at a location between the roller means and so as to define a twisting zone therebetween, and a running yarn is guided through the twisting zone so as to have twist imparted thereto. In a preferred embodiment, one of the roller means comprises a pair of individual rollers which are selectively movable to permit adjustment of their lateral separation, and which in turn permits adjustment of the crossing angle of the belt segments and thus the amount of twist imparted to the running yarn.

Abstract: An air jet nozzle is disclosed which is adapted for imparting entanglements to continuous filament synthetic yarns. The nozzle includes a body member having a yarn passageway therethrough, and a transverse air inlet channel which communicates with the yarn passageway. A yarn threading slot is provided along the length of the yarn passageway for permitting a running yarn to be introduced laterally into the passageway, and a closure plate is mounted so as to be disposed in and substantially close the slot at the periphery of the yarn passageway. The closure plate serves to avoid any disruption of the air currents and thus the entangling process which may otherwise be caused by the presence of the yarn threading slot.

Abstract: A yarn false twisting method and apparatus is disclosed, and which includes a pair of oppositely rotating friction discs which are mounted with opposing faces to define a twisting zone therebetween. The yarn is advanced through the twisting zone to impart twist to the yarn in one direction, and the advancing yarn is deflected downstream of the discs so that the yarn is brought into frictional contact with the peripheral edge of one of the discs, to thereby impart an opposite twist to the yarn. The invention is useful in that it permits increased running speed and twist level, and the resulting yarn may be characterized by reduced instances of "tight spots" and less fuzziness resulting from filament breaks.
