Abstract: A method is provided for producing a yarn from at least two individual yarn components having different physical characteristics so that the produced yarn has a desired visual effect. The method includes continuously supplying at least one yarn component in the form of a bundle of continuous filaments and individually treating the bundle of continuous filaments in a treating stage. The treated bundle of continuous filaments is then conveyed to a collective compacting stage. At least one other yarn component is supplied from a spinning beam or a bobbin directly to the collecting compacting stage and the bundle of continuous filaments and at least one other yarn component are compacted collectively in a collective compacting device.

Abstract: Device for continuous spinner with draft and simultaneous actual pre-twist wherein the draft motion is derived via a gear train from the pre-twist motion so as to utilize only one motion drive and wherein the thread being formed is controlled by an air stream operating around and in the feeding direction thereof; the thread moves through the apparatus advancing inside a revolving sleeve located either up-stream or down-stream of the draft unit and rotating therewith and concordantly with the thread that is being formed.

Abstract: A roving of short fibers is converted to a continuous twisted thread by a device which grips the roving between the facing teeth of two endless belts, and an acoustically generated transverse air jet is directed at the side of the roving, at a fixed point situated between the two belts. The direction of the air jet is reversed each time the fixed point is passed either a pair of facing teeth, or the midpoint in the gap between two successive pairs of facing teeth.

Abstract: In a method for the manufacture of twistless yarn a sliver of staple fibre material is drafted in two drafting zones, which are separated by a neutral zone. The drafting in the first zone occurs in a dry condition and in the second zone in a wet condition. The drafting liquid, which can contain a bonding agent, is supplied to the sliver through a false twister inserted in the neutral zone. This drafting process provides an increased uniformity of twistless yarn in a range of counts of 10-300 tex at a production rate of 300 to 600 m/min.
