Abstract: An apparatus for producing high quality products of cloth strip by the improvement of working efficiency and the equalization of treatment conditions, wherein the cloth strip (2) is subjected to a predetermined treatment while passing through one treatment zone (3) along a spiral path. A plurality of metallic surface rollers (5-2 to 5-4), surfaces of which are formed with metal, are used as at least part of conveying rollers consisting of metallic rollers (5-2 to 5-4) for guiding the cloth strip (2), provided in at least one of entrance and exit parts for the introduction/withdrawal of cloth strip (2) to the treatment zone (3). The metallic surface rollers (5-2 through 5-4) are arranged in a non-contacted state with each other and positively driven to rotate via a suitable drive mechanism (6).

Abstract: In a continuous cloth strip processing apparatus for at least one long belt-like cloth strip, a cloth strip traveling direction changing apparatus which has both an introduction guide roller having a rotational axis which is perpendicular to the cloth strip which is introduced and a withdrawal guide roller having a rotational axis which is perpendicular to the cloth strip which is withdrawn and which has an arbitrarily set relative angle between the rotational axes of these two rollers is provided at an input part, an output part or within at least one processing section that forms the processing zones.

Abstract: A creel 1 with twisting devices is capable of directly supplying twisted yarns from bobbins carrying non-twisted yarns to a loom or a warper, and of producing not only normal fabric but also a fabric having a low weft density woven at a higher rate or a fabric using hard-twist yarns as warps. A plurality of rotatable spindles 8, each carrying a bobbin 3 on which a non-twisted yarn 2 is wound, are arranged on a frame 18. The yarns 2 withdrawn from the bobbins 3 on the spindles 8 are twisted and arranged to form a yarn sheet 19. The spindles 8 are rotatably secured via bearings to the frame 18 of the creel 1 at the center of a rotary shaft section 8' which is arranged in a horizontal direction. On both ends of the rotary shaft section 8', a section for supporting the bobbin 3 carrying the non-twisted yarn 2 is formed, on which a two-for-one twisting device 21 is provided.

Abstract: An apparatus for treating a cloth strip comprising a treatment zone with an entrance and exit for the cloth strip. The cloth strip is treated while running along a predetermined spiral path through a treatment zone. A plurality of conveying rollers are provided in the treatment zone. The conveying rollers have portions which are fixed to a rotary shaft and portions which are loosely connected to the rotary shaft such that the loosely connected portion may rotate about the shaft.
