Abstract: A method for obtaining a woven fabric which comprises continuously unwinding from a single warp beam, a set of parallel warp yarns; passing the set of warp yarns on a whip-roll; forming a shed using heald means; inserting a weft yarn in the shed in the proximity of a face stitch to form a fabric; and finally uniformly pulling and batching the resulting fabric. In one aspect of the invention, the method consists of, in the proximity of the shed opening stitch, heating the warp yarns, and then cooling said warp yarns in the shed before they reach the heald means, characterized in that only part (34) of the warp yarns is heated. In one aspect of the invention, the shed may be defined in the forward movement direction of the warp, for example, by the opening stitch and the face stitch.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for obtaining a woven fabric which consists in: continuously unwinding from a single warp beam, a set of parallel warp yarns; passing said set on a whip-roll; forming a shed using held means, said shed being defined in the forward movement direction of the warp, at the input through an opening stitch of the shed, and on the other side through a face stitch; inserting a weft yarn in the shed in the proximity of the face stitch to form a fabric; and finally uniformly pulling and batching the resulting fabric; method which consists, in the proximity of the shed opening stitch, in heating the warp yarns, and then cooling said warp yarns in the shed before they reach the held means, characterized in that only part (34) of the warp yarns is heated.

Abstract: A method for enhancing the weaving of a warp yarn fabric having a high modulus of elasticity in which a sheet of parallel warp yarns is continuously unwound from a beam. The sheet is fed over a whip roll and a shed is formed using healds, the shed being defined in the forward direction of the warp by a shed opening point on an inlet side and a fell point on an opposite side. A weft yarn is inserted into the shed to form a resulting fabric which is evenly pulled and wound. The warp yarns are sufficiently heated in an area adjacent to the shed opening point to cause a local reduction in the modulus of elasticity of the warp yarns. Subsequently, the warp yarns are cooled in the shed before reaching the healds.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for transfer printing a design on warp yarns in a warp and weft fabric by applying a roll of transfer paper carrying a dye design to a moving web of warp yarns. The speed of the web and paper are controlled and heat is applied to transfer the design to the warp yarns. The paper and completed cloth are then rewound.

Abstract: A process for the production of a pleated textile fabric, which comprises first forming a spiral tube from a plane fabric by joining together the two selvedges of said fabric; then in known manner pleating this spiral tube and fixing the pleats thus formed; and finally undoing the join connecting the two selvedges of the fabric.The invention relates also to a weft and warp woven pleated fabric wherein the pleats are disposed on the bias and the weft threads are inclined.

Abstract: A fabric having three dimensional relief is disclosed. The relief includes a succession of non-crepe like raised patterns in the forms of diamonds and diamond tips. The raised patterns are disposed in several directions both in warp and in weft. The dimensions of the patterns are variable along the warp and the fabric is waved in the weft direction.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for giving relief in several directions to a textile cloth, characterized in that it consists:in known manner, in winding this cloth on a support tube,then in withdrawing said tube,thereafter in compressing the roll longitudinally along the axis of said support,finally, in fixing the roll thus compressed.The invention is more particularly applicable to fabric for home furnishings or clothes.

Abstract: A textured yarn composed of continuous filaments having a crimp with marked cusps, the molecular structure of the continuous filaments in the cusps being different from the molecular structure of the portions of the continuous filaments between consecutive cusps. A process for manufacturing the above-described textured yarn including knitting a yarn composed of drawable continuous thermoplastic filaments to form a knitted fabric, drawing the knitted fabric with a force close to but at the maximum equal to the maximum drawing force that the drawable yarn could withstand without breaking the filaments and deknitting the drawn knitted fabric.

Abstract: Fancy polyester based yarns are disclosed, wherein polybutylene terephthalate yarns comprise one or more filaments having irregular diameters, substantially constant crystallinity over the whole length of the filament, and a Young's modulus of less than 300 g/tex. These yarns are useful in textile applications wherein great pliability is required, such as for imitation silk fabrics, dress trimmings, and furniture fabrics.

Abstract: Methods of and apparatus for manufacturing a knitted fabric from a strand of yarn by forming the yarn into series of interlaced loops. The apparatus includes an array of apertures through which sinusoidal loops of the strand are ejected sequentially, by a combination of an expanding stream of fluid and centrifugal force. As each loop is ejected through an aperture in the array, the loop is restrained on one side of the aperture by a reciprocation shoe and then lifted upwardly by the shoe while being held open by the shoe. A subsequent loop is then ejected through the first loop, and the shoe is moved downwardly to restrain the subsequent loop and to release the first loop. As the shoe moves downwardly, the first loop is pulled through the aperture by a reciprocating hook which engages the foot of the first loop on the other side of the aperture. The subsequent loop is then lifted as the shoe passes through the loop in preparation to receive another loop, so that the process of interlacing loops is continued.
