  • Patent number: 7639929
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device (2) comprising a boiler (1) for generating steam, used for example in the steam-treatment of hair. The boiler (1), which is located in a recess (15) comprises a refill cap (3) and a steam outlet (4) in its upper region. The steam outlet (4) is situated in the upper lateral region (5) of the boiler (1). The boiler (1) is provided with an outflow opening (6) below the steam outlet (4), the lower edge (7) of the steam outlet (4) and the lower edge (8) of the outflow opening (6) defining a height (H) of a boiling chamber (W). The steam outlet (4) communicates with a steam conduit coupling (9) of a steam conduit (10) and the outflow opening (6) communicates with a sealing part (11) of the recess (15).

  • Patent number: 6406650
    Abstract: A spinning apparatus for producing a plurality of yarns, wherein the yarns are produced by combining a plurality of filament bundles. To this end, the spinning apparatus includes a plurality of extruders for producing a plurality of melt flows, which are distributed by a plurality of distributor pumps to at least two spinning positions that are arranged side by side. Each of the spinning positions includes a plurality of spinnerets, which extrude a partial flow from a distributor pump to a filament bundle. Also, the spinning positions are arranged so that at least one filament bundle of one spinning position can be combined to a yarn with at least one filament bundle of an adjacent spinning position.

  • Patent number: 6378180
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for spinning and crimping a multifilament yarn, and wherein a thermoplastic melt is extruded through a spinneret to form a filament bundle. The filament bundle is divided into a plurality of bundle components before being crimped. Each bundle component is separately crimped and combined to a multifilament yarn after being crimped. The yarn is subsequently wound to a package.
