  • Patent number: 8720174
    Abstract: A yarn, especially a sewing thread or an embroidery thread, is described, which has the structure of a core yarn with at least one core consisting of multifilament yarns and a spin over of staple fiber yarns. At least one portion of the fibers, which build the staple fiber yarn of the spin over, is bound between the filaments of the at least one multifilament yarn of the core over its total axial fiber length or over a section of its axial fiber length. Furthermore a method to produce this yarn is described.

  • Patent number: 5972045
    Abstract: A process is disclosed for dyeing a textile substrate, in particular for dyeing polyester yarns. The substrate to be dyed is placed in an autoclave and a supercritical fluid containing at least one dyestuff is applied to it, i.e. passed through it. The supercritical fluid is pumped continuously via a circulation system allocated to the autoclave, and, in order to terminate the dyeing process, the pressure and/or temperature is lowered and/or the volume is increased. Immediately before and/or during the pressure and/or temperature reduction and/or volume increase, as much as possible of any residual dye which has not been transferred to the substrate is removed from the fluid.

  • Patent number: 5958085
    Abstract: The description relates to a process for dyeing a textile substrate in at least one supercritical fluid, preferably for dyeing spools of yarn in supercritical carbon dioxide, where the textile substrate is placed in an autoclave in which the supercritical fluid containing at least one dye is caused to flow over or in it. The at least one dye is brought into contact with the supercritical fluid in loose, molten, solution and/or dispersion form to produce a stable solution of the dye in said fluid, avoiding the originally dissolved dye's deposition from the solution or the formation of dye agglomerates therein having a particle size of over 30 .mu.m and advantageously over 15 .mu.m.

  • Patent number: 5938794
    Abstract: A method for the dyeing of a textile substrate, particularly for the dyeing of a polyester yarn wound upon a bobbin, is described, in which the textile substrate to be dyed is arranged within an autoclave and superfused, respectively perfused, with a supercritical fluid containing at least one dye, whereby an auxiliary fluid is loaded with the at least one dye, whereby the auxiliary fluid in brought into contact with the supercritical fluid and whereby hereafter the textile substrate is perfused, respectively superfused, with the supercritical fluid containing the at least one dye.

  • Patent number: 5474812
    Abstract: A method is described for application a lubricant onto a sewing yarn. The sewing yarn to be lubricated is prepared as heap of yarn or as wound package. This heap respectively this package is superfused or perfused with a bath containing said lubricant. As fluid a supercritical fluid is selected. Whereby after the perfusion respectively the superfusion a temperature reduction, a pressure reduction and/or a volume increase is performed.

  • Patent number: 5429868
    Abstract: A yarn, especially a sewing yarn, comprises at least two multifile yarn components. The first yarn component forms mainly the core of the yarn and the second yarn component forms mainly the jacket of the yarn. The two yarn components are intermingled with one another. The monofilaments of the second yarn component have a specific strength which amounts to between 5% and 70%, especially between 10% and 50%, of the specific strength of the monofilaments of the first yarn component.

  • Patent number: 5375310
    Abstract: A method is described of drawing a pre-oriented multifilament yarn (POY yarn). Hereby the multifilament yarn is fed from a delivery godet, around which it is wrapped, at a first velocity into a main drawing zone and removed from the main drawing zone at a second velocity by a drawing-off godet around which it is wrapped. The drawing in the main drawing zone takes place between the delivery godet and the drawing-off godet whereby the drawing-off godet is heated to a temperature of between 160.degree. C. and 240.degree. C. The first and the second velocities are so adjusted with respect to each other that the second velocity is 70% to 180% greater than the first velocity.
