Jordi Galan I Llongueras has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 6751938
    Abstract: The independent torsioning unit consists of two different units: the case frame and the programming and control unit. The case frame houses the spindle axis, the electrical motor, the drive belt, the yarn guide, the vertical deflection roller, the horizontal deflection pulley and the impulse reader. The programming and control unit consists of a processor, the programming keyboard and a frequency converter that supplies and controls the motor. The independent torsioning unit is used as an auxiliary feeding machine that enhances the performance of any type of main processing machine.

  • Patent number: 6574949
    Abstract: The present invention is related to a pneumatic control ring (1) with application in ring twisting machines, continuous spinning frames, and double twisting frames, made of sintered, porous material and with a chamber (4) in which an air-lubricant mixture is pressure injected, which creates an air cushion between the ring (1) and the thread and produces constant and homogeneous lubrication in the contact area between them, in order to avoid the balloon effect and to prevent the thread from wearing down by friction against a surface which is the balloon control ring, facilitating high speed thread processing.

  • Patent number: 6571547
    Abstract: The invention relates to a refrigerating-lubricating cursor ring that can be used in ring twisting machines, continuous ring spinning machines and double twisting machines. Said ring serves as a guide for a cursor (3) and comprises a cylindrical, hollow ring (1) made of a porous material, said ring being provided with chamber (6) into which an air-lubricant/refrigerant mixture is injected by pressure, thereby creating an air cushion between the ring (1) and the cursor (3) that prevents mutual friction, lubricates the contact area between said ring and cursor and cools them to prevent wear and heating of the ring (1) and cursor (3) at high speeds. This makes it possible to significantly increase the working speed of the rings in twisting and continuous spinning machine.

  • Publication number: 20030056485
    Abstract: High capacity spool with built-in balloon control head (1) and folding system consisting of a spool composed of a balloon control head (1), a central tube (2) and a base (3) and of a folding system adjusted to this spool in two stages, a first stage in which a support cone for the second stage is obtained. The result obtained on the spool is a format whose final appearance is that of the so-called bottle type, although this fold differs from the habitual bottle fold, appropriate for any kind of material.

  • Patent number: 6449937
    Abstract: The invention relates to a continuous process for obtaining a thread or strand, made of a plastic or textile material for manufacturing special fabrics, particularly artificial grass, comprising extrusion of a plastic material to obtain a given strand or flat thread and a helicoidal winding section. The extrusion and winding sections operate synchronically.
