Abstract: This tape winding arm is part of a winding device for film strips, tape or other similar medium, where the medium is wound up onto rolls. The medium passes over the end of the winding arm along guiding and deflecting elements on a cushion of compressed air, which is supplied through a hollow in the arm, and past a rotating pinch roller. This pinch roller is also part of the winding arm, and the winding arm is made of lightweight metal and pivots, so that its pinch roller rests on the tape roll, helping to ensure even winding through constant contact with the roll. The winding arm consists of two parts screwed together at the pivot point; this allows easy disassembly and removal from the pivot spindle.

Abstract: A composite yarn formed of at least two different individual polymeric fibers may be spun by directing at least two streams of different polymer melts (e.g., polymer melts of different colors and/or characteristics) to a spin pack such that one of the streams has a greater volumetric throughput as compared to the volumetric throughput of the other stream. The polymer streams are each distributed within the spin pack among individual filtration chambers so that the filtration chambers receive substantially the same volumetric throughput allotment of the polymer melt streams. In such a manner, the polymer melt streams are distributed among the filtration chambers in substantially equal throughput allotments even though the total throughput of the melt streams of each of the different polymers may be unequal. The filtered polymer melt streams may then be directed through fiber-forming orifices of a spinneret plate to form the composite yarn.
