Abstract: An improved carding machine for high voltage short fiber removal is provided, The mechanism utilizes a number of rollers arrayed in a semicircular configuration positioned near the pylon roller in order to shorten the distance between the last of the short fiber removal mechanisms and the pylon roller. The shortened distance achieves the practical effect of increasing fiber purity and straightness by providing for a more efficient method of short fiber removal.

Abstract: A method to improve bonding of breathable coatings onto fabrics uses a hydrophobic polyurethane resin solution having isocyanates and/or double bond polar group crosslinking agents. The substrates used for coating are nylon and polyester taffeta.

Abstract: A continuous ironing and automatic cutting apparatus, is provided. The apparatus mainly makes use of a cloth roll stand, a marking device, a few sets of buffering devices, and an automatic cutting device, in cooperation a conventional pressing device and a corking device, to accomplish a continuous ironing and automatic cutting operation.

Abstract: An electrostatic opening and short fiber separation apparatus for carding machines making use of a high voltage electrostatic field; which produces different forces on filaments, short fibers, and dust; in cooperation with a plurality of suction devices to separate short fiber. The apparatus is to be installed in front of a card cylinder where a doffer and a sliver forming mechanism have been removed. By means of a specially designed stripping roller, fibers are stripped from the cylinder and float across the electric field due to the attraction of suction devices. Cotton fibers in the electric field will be affected by the high voltage and held by upper and lower circular metal screen conveyor belts, to move forward. Short fibers and dust move to and fro between two metal strips due to the existence of the electric field; they will be taken up and removed if the drag force of suction devices is larger than the action force of the electric field.

Abstract: A production apparatus for spinning ring spinning filaments and staple compound slivers into compound yarns wherein the main improvement comprises altering the three-line roller draft system to a four-line roller draft system, combining multi-filaments with short staple fiber clusters and then the resultant being twisted to form compound ring yarns that are superior to the conventional ring yarns. It indeed achieves the maximum practical value and is adaptable to industry uses.

Abstract: An adjustable elastic band inspecting apparatus comprising a supporting frame attached to a bench by a C-clamp, and an inspection holder connected to the support frame by a pivoting axle that enables the height and inclination of the inspection holder to be adjusted. The inspection holder further contains adjustable brackets symmetrically disposed and adaptable for elastic bands of various sizes. The brackets can be rotated by manipulating a locating bar to facilitate the inspection of two sides of elastic bands.
