Patent number: 4391021Abstract: An apron drafting system for textile fibers includes a pair of front rolls, a pair of middle rolls, and a pair of back rolls defining front and back drafting zones therebetween. A cradle, including a pair of side plates, is mounted on both of said middle rolls and extends towards both said front rolls and said back rolls to support a pair of front apron pins adjacent the front rolls and a pair of back aprons pins adjacent the back rolls. Top and bottom aprons extend over the middle rolls and over the apron pins adjacent both the front and back rolls to make adjacent contact to guide the textile fibers from a point immediately adjacent the back rolls, through the nip between the middle rolls, to a point adjacent the front rolls.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 1981Date of Patent: July 5, 1983Assignee: Whitin Roberts CompanyInventor: Fouad A.

Patent number: 4164840Abstract: Yarns or filaments from producers packages, having little or no twist therein and mounted upon two-for-one spindle units, are uptwisted, directed to a ply twisting unit where the twisted filaments are plied and downtwisted onto a takeup bobbin of a spindle unit. A selected percentage of the required twist is inserted as the plied, cabled filaments are wound upon the takeup bobbin and the remainder of the required twist inserted as the filaments are unwound from the takeup bobbin and directed to a winder unit. Alternatively, the rate of twist applied to the plied filaments may be increased by driving the traveler ring, thus increasing the life or the speed of the traveler which directs plied filaments to the driven takeup bobbin. Occasionally, when two-for-one spindle units are applying extremely high twist, which slows down the delivery of twisted plied filaments, the driven downtwist takeup spindle unit may employ a super high speed stationary traveler ring.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 1976Date of Patent: August 21, 1979Assignee: Roberts CompanyInventors: Kurt C. Chilpan, William L. Lewis
