Patent number: 4384448Abstract: Improvements in conventional ring spinning processes of the type wherein a strand of staple fibers if drafted, twisted and collected on a ring spinning frame are obtained by the added step of subjecting the strand to the twisting action of a pneumatic false twister between the drafting and collecting steps. The added step improves performance and/or permits the process to be operated at higher front roll delivery speeds for any given spindle speed without sacrificing performance. The higher delivery speeds results in improvements in the productivity of the process and the apparent value of staple yarn produced thereby.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 1980Date of Patent: May 24, 1983Assignee: Monsanto CompanyInventor: Arnold E. Wilkie

Patent number: 4351146Abstract: A process for producing a yarn with alternate twist, which is obtained by intermittently varying the distance which the twist extends back upstream of a false twister. The variation in the distance is produced without braking the yarn and is achieved by means of a blocking device acting intermittently at a point located close to the false twister. The duration of action of the blocking device approximately corresponds to the time taken by a given point on the yarn to cover the distance from a delivery member to the false twister.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 1980Date of Patent: September 28, 1982Assignee: ASA S.A.Inventors: Jean-Louis Faure, Michel Vanhelle

Patent number: 4276740Abstract: Two or more single strands are formed and false twisted to provide sections of S-twist and Z-twist which are longitudinally spaced apart and separated by nodes which have no twist. The strands while moving longitudinally are held against rotation at points between which the adjacent strands twist in a same direction. The twist between each pair of points becomes redistributed, and the strands are released to enable them to twist together to form a self twist plural strand yarn.The strands are held against rotation during twist redistribution by apparatus which includes a device for interconnecting the strands at the points, and a rotation preventer which moves with and lies between the strands adjacent to the interconnected points.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 1979Date of Patent: July 7, 1981Assignee: WWG Industries, Inc.Inventors: Phillip W. Chambley, Alan H. Norris

Patent number: 4265082Abstract: After a polyester tow having a total denier of 5000 de is drafted at a ratio of between 10 and 20 and stretch broken, the obtained fiber bundle of staple fibers is subjected to a false twisting operation by means of a fluid jet nozzle, and then the false twisted fiber bundle is wound several turns around a hot roller heated at a temperature of 220.degree. C. and located in a detwisting region downstream from the false twisting nozzle. The surface fibers, which extend outwards because of the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the fiber bundle during the detwisting thereof, suddenly stopped rotation when the fiber bundle contacts the hot roller, and the surface fibers wrap around the body portion of the fiber bundle to form a plurality of individual wrapping portions, in each of which the surface fibers are interlaced each other. Thus a spun-like yarn is obtained.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 1979Date of Patent: May 5, 1981Assignee: Teijin LimitedInventors: Yoshiyuki Sasaki, Katsuyuki Kasaoka

Patent number: 4228643Abstract: In a method for the manufacture of twistless yarn a sliver of staple fibre material is drafted in two drafting zones, which are separated by a neutral zone. The drafting in the first zone occurs in a dry condition and in the second zone in a wet condition. The drafting liquid, which can contain a bonding agent, is supplied to the sliver through a false twister inserted in the neutral zone. This drafting process provides an increased uniformity of twistless yarn in a range of counts of 10-300 tex at a production rate of 300 to 600 m/min.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 1978Date of Patent: October 21, 1980Assignee: Hollandse Signaalapparaten B.V.Inventors: Jan Nijhuis, Thomas H.

Patent number: 4219998Abstract: An apparatus for twisting a fibre strand to have repeated along its length alternating zones of opposite twist comprises a fluid vortex device having two fluid inlets and a valve controlling fluid flow to the inlets. The valve comprises a hollow cylindrical rotatable valve member and a sleeve having a number of outlet ports surrounding the member. Fluid supplied to the hollow member is distributed to the outlet ports by rotation of the member. Plastics dry bearings between the member and the sleeve act to prevent improper flow of air along the abutting surfaces. The vortex device comprises a member formed with a bore, the bore having a wide port into which the fluid is injected through the inlets and a restricted port forming a venturi of diameter of the order twice that of the yarn. A plug through which the yarn passes at the end of the bore remote from the venturi inhibits escape of air from that end.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 1978Date of Patent: September 2, 1980Assignee: Platt Saco Lowell LimitedInventor: William M.
