Abstract: A flame resistant fabric with better tear strength and specifically a flame resistant fabric with tear strength flame resistant 100% cotton yarn are provided. The 100% cotton yarn is produced using a combination of compact spinning technology and gassing and/or singeing process performed in tandem, the yarn is weaved into fabric by pre-established process and the fabric is flame retardant finished by using chemicals and lubricants by pre-established process to form the flame resistant fabric with better tear strength. Also, a method of manufacturing the flame resistant cotton fabric that has a better tear strength after fire resistant treatments provided. Advantageously, the flame resistant fabric is affordable, light weight and has better tensile and tear strength.

Abstract: A carpet fiber yarn having carpet fiber and binder material, the yarn being subjected to singeing to remove protruding fiber ends, and subjected to heat sufficient to melt the binder fiber, wherein initial appearance and trafficked appearance of a first test carpet having a pile comprised of the yarn is improved over a corresponding second test carpet having a pile comprised of an unsinged yarn with the carpet fiber and the binder fiber, the unsinged yarn also being subjected to heat sufficient to melt the binder fiber.

Abstract: An apparatus (V) for the singeing of threads (1), preferably of a thread assembly, for example for use in the manufacture of a carpet, the thread assembly comprising twisted threads of a plastic material, such as nylon (polyamides), polyester and the like. The apparatus (V) comprises a heat section, and a burner (5) which produces a singeing flame (7). The threads (1) run, upstream and/or downstream of the singeing flame (7), through the heat section (18), the heat section being formed independently of the burner (5) and being set at a temperature influencing the macromolecular structure of the plastic material.

Abstract: A method for pretreating a staple-fiber carpet yarn (5) before it is processed to make a carpet, in order to reduce the hairiness and fuzz accumulation associated with such yarns. The surface of the carpet yarn (5) is exposed for a brief time to the action of a temperature which is very high relative to the characteristic temperatures of the carpet yarn material. This can be carried out in a singe burner (100) through which the carpet-yarn threads (5) are guided in their lengthwise direction.

Abstract: A burner unit for the singeing of flat textile structures and the like, in particular a burner unit for singeing machines having a combustion chamber and ramp stones forming one or more singe slits, the combustion chamber being fed from a gaseous mixture chamber via preferably two or more parallel burner slits. A ramp stone is arranged adjustably movable for changing the singe slit and/or the combustion chamber.

Abstract: Upon rupture of a thread or the like a thread monitor or stop motion moves about a pivot point in clockwise direction, and thus, by means of a release rod, causes an entrainment element to come into engagement with a to-and-fro driven entrainment member. Consequently, an actuation rod is upwardly moved and latched by a support lever in its upper position. Due to this movement a feed bobbin along with the therewith operatively correlated thread guides are lifted, so that the thread travel path is shifted out of the effective region of a singeing burner. Due to the raising of the feed bobbin there is diminished the spacing between such feed bobbin and a winding bobbin. Due to lifting of the actuation rod the winding bobbin, in response to the operation of a pawl and a tooth segment, is raised from a driving cam or grooved drum. The raised position of the feed bobbin facilitates the knotting of the thread.
