Abstract: This invention relates to a silver compression method and device. By using the compression method of this invention, the loaded sliver is reduced without requiring the use of spindles and thus allow for easier handling in the next process.

Abstract: Wound bobbins of yarn are exposed to constant tensioning treatment to eliminate variances in hot air shrinkage caused by the manufacturing processes used to make the strands.

Abstract: Wound bobbins of yarn are exposed to a high temperature heat treatment step to eliminate variances in hot air shrinkage caused by the manufacturing processes used to make the strands.

Abstract: An automated yarn conditioning apparatus and process is provided. This apparatus and process allows for unconditioned yarn packages to be brought from a source to a yarn conditioning station where they are conditioned and then ejected onto a takeaway conveyor. Yarn conditioning is achieved within an airtight chamber inside of a vessel. The yarn conditioning process used first evacuates the airtight chamber and then injects steam or other conditioning vapor into the airtight chamber while partially elevating the internal chamber pressure and/or temperature. Simultaneously with the conditioning of the yarn packages inside the airtight chamber, unconditioned yarn packages are brought to the conditioning station for placement inside the vessel when the prior conditioning step has been completed.

Abstract: In a bobbin treating system connected to a fine spinning frame and an automatic winder, a steam setter is installed inside of the automatic winder for steaming bobbins coming from the fine spinning frame.

Abstract: A process for conditioning a yarn package enclosed within a conditioning chamber by introducing low temperature steam at approximately 140.degree. F. for two seconds, thereby setting the twist of the yarn after spinning and winding.

Abstract: A package stock device in which a plurality of package mounting shelves are arranged within a case through endless chain in such a way as they may be circulated and moved in it, and the case is formed with a supplying port and a discharging port so as to supply the packages onto the mounting shelves and discharge the packages from the shelves. The package stock device may be provided with a steam supplying means.

Abstract: A process and apparatus for supplying never-dried yarns from a humidified creel to maintain a constant and controlled amount of moisture on the yarns and, thereby, assure that the supplied yarns are maintained at a constant quality for further processing.

Abstract: Installed on a conveyor line which connects a spinning machine and a winding machine together, a heat treatment apparatus for bobbins of yarn which accepts a batch of upright bobbins arranged in rows and which performs steam heat treatments on the bobbins contained therein.

Abstract: In a heat treatment apparatus for bobbins of yarn having a plurality of heat treatment baths arranged between a spinning machine and a winding machine, the bobbins from the spinning machine are carried into the heat treatment baths by a conveyor line with pegs, the heat treatment is performed in the baths with the bobbins mounted on the pegs, and the heat-treated bobbins are automatically delivered from the baths onto another conveyor line with pegs installed on the winding machine side.

Abstract: An installation includes a spinning machine, a winding machine, a bobbin transporting device transporting the bobbins from the spinning machine to the winding machine, and a tube or sleeve transporting device transporting tubes or sleeves from the winding machine to the spinning machine providing a circulation of wound and unwound tubes or sleeves, the bobbin transporting device including at least one automatic yarn steaming device.

Abstract: The invention relates to a yarn handling arrangement in which the yarn is subjected to conditioning in a humid atmosphere before and as it is drawn off for use in a textile machine. The apparatus described in an example consists of an enclosure comprising a housing, in one compartment whereof are a plurality of pairs of bobbins on support rods, another compartment being defined by a sleeve member which is kept constantly moist by a water distributing device. A flow of air is arranged to fill the sleeve member and to escape therefrom through slots provided at levels corresponding to each of the levels at which the bobbins are supported.

Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus for producing a compact package of a textile yarn, comprising an accumulation container disposed to a machine frame in a rotatable condition about a longitudinal axis thereof, an inlet of a textile yarn formed at a position above said accumulation container in an eccentric condition to said longitudinal axis of said accumulation container, a compression means provided with a pressing head capable of being inserted into said accumulation container. Said pressing head is capable of reciprocally displacing up and down along said longitudinal axis of said accumulation container in such a condition that the working position of said pressing head is eccentric from said longitudinal axis of said accumulation container.
