Abstract: Methods of and apparatus for treating yarn with a fluid material include a chamber through which the yarn is advanced and an injection nozzle for impinging fluid on the yarn as it advances through the chamber. The injection nozzle is registered with a fluid circulation system in which a dyeing substance or other fluid treating substance or material is circulated. Upon interrupting the circulation of the fluid treating material, a portion of the material is diverted into the chamber through which the yarn is advancing. By interrupting the circulation of the fluid treating material according to a selected pattern, the fluid treating material will impinge on the advancing yarn with a corresponding pattern. If it is desired to impinge treating materials having different characteristics, such as dyes of different colors, then a plurality of circuits may be utilized to direct the fluid materials into the chamber through which the yarn advances.

Abstract: A process for simultaneously texturizing a plurality of yarns including feeding a plurality of yarns separately through the inlet of a texturizing device to a cylindrical chamber, supplying a hot compressed fluid to the cylindrical chamber to advance the yarns therein, the hot compressed fluid escaping into an outer closed chamber, and maintaining the outer chamber at a pressure less than the feed pressure of the hot compressed fluid and greater than atmospheric pressure.
