Sig. 1 "illustrates the first stage of the process for the production of a velvet fabric according to the present invention Invention. This stage of work is preferably carried out with a Device for opening continuous fibrous material as described in U.S. Patents 3,328 and / or 3,380,131. These US patents are included in the present invention. This tow spreading device, generally designated by the reference number 10 is designated, is fed with raw material from a bale 12 tow, which consists of continuous (up to a few kilometers in length) is made up of crimped or uncrimped jj fibers made by extruding synthetic fibers Plastics such as polyester or cellulose acetate were made.

In order to obtain a high volume-to-weight ratio in the end product, which is described later, are the original fiber groups of a curved or crimped type, i.e. the profile or the side view a single fiber is irregular (i.e. not straight)

109840/1555 " ^b *"

at least in one point of view of the fiber. Examples of such * curved, single-fiber material are steam-treated, continuous tow (steam bulked continuous tow), steam curled it, continuous fiber V / erg (steam crimped continuous filament tow) and continuous fiber tow crimped by means of teeth or knife edge (gear crimped continuous filament tow, knife edge crimped continuous filament tow). In the preparation of

"a fiber group of curved individual fibers can be a A variety of polymers can be used, e.g. those man-made filaments can be used are given as examples in U.S. Patent 3,334,006 are listed. Such artificial fibers have so far usually been delivered for further processing, in which, for example, they are cut into staple fiber lengths, clenched, then opened by carding and transferred to sliver and then to yarn or cigarette filter material. The original Single fiber material is often called "tows" (tows) that is, in bundles of generally parallel, continuous fibers, each such bundle being one a large number of such fibers contain, generally well over 500, e.g. is thus commercially available as a tape of tow 14, e.g. consisting of 1,000 fibers, which

109840/1555

Side by side (parallel) untwisted, but a little bit random · - run loosely mixing. The tow band 14, an original width may have cm of about 5, is then drawn from a bale 12 upwardly through stationary i ⁿ EADERSHIP rods 16 and 18 and through a ribbon die 20, as described in Uo Patent 3,286,507 is. In the band nozzle 20, the tow band 14 passes through a zone delimited by two essentially parallel, curved walls 22 and 24 in which the band is exposed to an air stream or air currents over its entire width, which air streams the tow onto a Spread out width of about 12 or 15 cm. The partially spread tow then passes under a guide rod 25 and is then pulled by pinch rollers 26 and 28 and another set of pinch rollers 30 and 32. An electrically grounded rod 3 ^ can be provided in front of the rollers 30 and 32, if desired. After the tow has passed rollers 30 and 32, it passes through a second air spreader 36. Then it is passed around feed rollers 38 and 40, through a third air spreader 42, another set of feed rollers 44 and 46 and finally passed through a fourth air spreading device 48. For further details of the structure and the mode of operation of the air spreading devices 20, 36, 42 and 48 and the spreading rollers 26, 28, 30 and 32, reference is made to the above-mentioned US patents 3,328,850 and 3,286,307. 109840/1555

The light emerging from the Äusbreiteinrichtung 48 tow is in a wide web $ ü before, the width of token 2 is m, wherein the individual fibers extend parallel to one another, ie, the individual i'asern have relatively uniform lateral distances on with minimal mixing and overlap so that the web $ 0 consists essentially of a single layer, the thickness of which is equal to the diameter of the individual fibers forming it. The web 50 is wound into a single-layer roll by rolling it, preferably into a tubular coil, on a mandrel 52 to form a relatively loose hulk 54 of single-layer, spread tow. This can be done by removing the web 50 is fed to the upper run 56 of an endless belt which belt is carried and driven by end rollers 58 and 60. The mandrel 52 can be freely rotatably supported by its protruding ends being loosely guided between two stationary vertical struts 62 and 64. The mandrel 52 is pressed down by its own weight so that it rests on the web 50 and presses it against the strand 56, so that the mandrel and the successive windings of the web 5G wound on it are driven by friction from the belt 56, whereby the Spun to roll 54 is wrapped.

The second stage of the process according to the invention begins with the next step, the formation of a multi-layered yarn of a continuous, spreading out i'aser tow. According to i? Ig. öOj Ö2 and 84, each of which is identical to the hollow 54, arranged in horizontal and vertical heights in a suitable rack or delivery mechanism 86. Each of the hollow 70, 74, 78 and 82 is individually freely rotatably arranged on a removable axle 88, which extends between a pair of upright braces 90 (only one shown) flanking the ends of the lumps to form a vertical row of lumps. Another pair of upright braces 92 similarly support lumps 72, 76, 80 and 84 in a different vertical position, preferably at the same installation height as their respective accompanying halls 70, 74, 78 and 82. A third pair of upright vines 94 carries a series of guide rods 96, 98, 100 and 102 which extend horizontally between them. Preferably, the top surface of each guide rod 96, 98, 100 and 102 is positioned slightly above the top surface of the associated horizontal row of cavities 70-72, 74-76, 78-80 and 82-84, respectively. The single-layered web 70 'wound down from the holle 70 lies over the web 72' wound from the hollow 72, and these two

1098A0 / 15B5 -10-

Webbing unite at the guide rod ¹ ^ b. The combined webs 70 ′ and 72 ′ then extend downward at an angle to a pressure roller 104.

In the same manner the remaining webs 84 to be 'out of each horizontal row over their associated guide rod 98, 1ÜG and 102 and then directed down so that they spinsten on the roller 104 with the overall% 70' -72 'blend . On the pressure roller 104, the eight webs between the collector 104 and the upper strand 106 of an endless conveyor belt 108 are pressed or clamped together. In this way, a multi-layer fleece 110 made of parallel, continuous, expanded fiber tow is formed on the conveyor belt 108. It goes without saying that the arrangement of the rollers on the delivery mechanism 86 can be expanded both in the horizontal and in the vertical direction. Good results have been achieved with an arrangement of three vertical rows with seven rolls each to form a 21-layer fleece.

The multi-layer, parallel, fibrous web 110 is one between the belt 106 and the lower drum 112 opposite conveyor belt 114 gripped and in the direction of the individual fibers forming the fleece upwards

109840/1555 -11-

between the supply guide members 216 and 220 fed to a cutting device. This cutter, is generally provided with the reference numeral 200 and is identical to except for the loading belt of the modified device 200 ', which will be described in greater detail below in connection with FIGS. 3 to 11 is described. Accordingly, a brief description of the device 200 is sufficient at this point to complete the process the description of the second stage of the process according to the invention. The facility 200 owns a cutting element consisting of a knife driven by a motor with a knife in the horizontal direction reciprocating frame in which a cutting device is preferably in the form of an endless Hesserband 226 horizontally spaced by means of an iraars Pulleys is mounted. These pulleys guide the knife band in a continuous path, which is perpendicular to the back and forth movement of the G-frame. The axes of the pulleys run parallel to the direction of the back and forth movement of the frame. The establishment 200 also has clamping and collecting elements with a slide 280, a movable rear stop 290 and a plate 284 arranged at a horizontal distance above a table 218. The .blatte 284 forms with the table a guided tour or a collective camaraderie 219,

109840/1555 - 12 -

the width of which corresponds approximately to that of the fleece 110 and which is provided on the sides by suitable side plates 219 ' (• Pig. 10 and 11) is complete. While the elements 216, 220, 280 and 290 the fleece 110 in the cutting position hold, the cutter 226 performs a cycle to cut from the upper, free end of the Web 110 successively cut a series of strips or ribbons of fiber. The slider 280

"then pushes the cut strip into the guide, in which the successively cut strips constitute a continuous amount 124- of upright form fibers emerging from the outlet of the guide as a layer of tightly packed fibers. This layer is applied to a carrier material 126, which is fed from the feed rollers 128, 150 and 132. A suitable adhesive 134 can be applied to the appropriate surface of the carrier material 126 by means of a? On carrying device 136 (doctor blade hopper) can be applied. The lower run 137 of the carrier material runs parallel to and at a distance above the upper strand 13δ of an endless one Conveyor belt 140 drawn around pinch rollers 142 and 142. The hollow 128 presses the carrier material against the tops of the layered fibers, and the advancing backing material conveys together with the conveyor belt 140 the fibers (which are now

109840/1555 - 13 -

adhere with their upper ends to the carrier material 126) to the right, as in Pig. 2, through a suitable oven or dryer, apparently indicated at 146, and in which the hardening of the adhesive is accelerated. The finished product 148 steps between hell and the jar roll 144- It can be cut to size and given suitable finishing treatments, as they are generally known to those skilled in the art. Further details of the structure and mode of operation of the device 200 result from the following description of the device 200 '.

From the preceding description it can be seen in what way the method according to the invention is used Production of an improved oammetstoffes is suitable and to what extent this process enables extremely economical production. By transferring continuous i'aser-wergs directly into a multi-layered, spread-out Fleece 110 and feeding this fleece to the device can have several intermediate method steps according to the method according to the invention and the equipment heretofore required to carry out these intermediate process steps for the production of a glued ßammetstoffes omitted. These intermediate process steps consisted of cutting the synthetic fibers in a chopper to a fiber cuttings, then carding the cut

109840/1555 -14-

good on a carding machine, raking the i'ilet (doffer) the carding machine and collecting the fair fleece on a collector to form a web of carded i'aser.

In addition, since each of the fibers in the nonwoven fabric 110 are continuous is (and can extend over several kilometers), the iTasers in each of the knife 226

. cut strips of uniform length, taking these The length can be easily adjusted by changing the pre-snub and cut cycle. That means, then everyone I fiber in the set of cut fibers 124 with their upper End flush with the upper ends of the other l'asers when this comes out of the! Guide. Through this it is guaranteed that each i'aser can be individually processed by means of the Adhesive is attached to the carrier material 126. Compared to velvet, which is made of discontinuous fibers, such as made of fibers or roving or other

* "similar haterial that is made in discontinuous nonwovens is combined, consists, the product 148 a greater strength, a longer shelf life and a better appearance.

Additionally, product 148 is subject to very little flake loss when subsequently brushed

109840/1555 - 15 -

and / or is subjected to an electrification treatment, since there are no short ones that have remained unattached to the carrier material Fibers are present which cause both weight loss in the product and a deterioration in it Appearance. The reject rate in the whole process is thus reduced to practically zero, compared to a 30 to 40 # I fiber loss, when the glued, cut velvet is made from a carded, discontinuous Paser fleece.

Since the method according to the invention is based on continuous, spread out, thread-like tow, it is on limited the use of man-made fibers. However, this limitation is not severe since such casern are available nowadays in many synthetic materials, in many weights and colors. Such artificial fibers are preferred even for velvet fabrics admit. The conception of merging single-layered, expanded tows after expanding into a multi-layered one Fleece 110 spread tow offers great versatility in the choice of the number of layers. That so formed fleece has a very soft, fluffy, dense characteristic, which makes it highly suitable for cutting in strips and feeding these strips onto one

Carrier or support material for the fibers to produce a woolly velvet. The tightness of the material can be varied slightly by the fact that the feed belts 10b and 112 are arranged opposite one another Compression is controlled accordingly. The tightness can still be varied by changing the ratio the feeding of the guide chamber of the device 200 to that of the removal belt 140 and those interacting with this J3and Feed rollers 128, 150 and 132 for the The amount of fiber removed from the carrier material is regulated.

According to the invention, the multi-layer fleece 110 can also be formed by using a plurality of spreading devices 10 for continuous tow that so connected

are that each of these devices / exiting single-layer web 50 directly with the other webs uniting the inlet end of the feed belt 108 of the device 200 is fed. To the equipment To be able to make the best possible use, however, it is preferred to include the intermediate step in which the single-layer web 56 wound up to form a pile 54 is, whereby several such individual roles are hung in a delivery mechanism 86. The production speed the spreading device 10 for continuous

Tow is such that one facility is sufficient to provide an apparatus 200 for producing velvet which is a Supplying plant with a variety of roles used to be able to supply. If you get into the delivery plant 86 rolls 54 hangs in with increasing amounts of spread tow, the rolls will empty one after the other, so that one roll at a time can be exchanged without the device 200 having to be shut down.

A preferred embodiment of a device according to the invention for carrying out the second working stage of the method according to the invention is shown semi-schematically in the figures. 5 to 11 shown. As best from the i ¹ ig. 5 and 11, the device 200 'has a feed belt which joins the multi-layer nonwoven 110 together in a manner similar to the device 200 and moves it forward. The infeed belt comprises the pinch roller 204, a belt conveyor 206 and two pairs of opposing feed rollers 208, 210, 212 and 214,

which are intermittently driven so that ^v nonwoven 110 fastened against the vertical iührungsflache 217 CLER to the leading edge 218 of the fish up! guide plate 216 is moved forward.

1Q9840 / 1555

Rotary movement via suitable gears, chain drives or The like., This rotational movement with the operation of the knife 226 and the clamping elements 220, 280 and 290 of Device is synchronized. The drive for the exit belt 140 and the feed rollers 128, 130 and 132 for the Carrier material can be derived intermittently from the ratchet wheel or it can be continuously derived directly from the V / elle 276 should be carried out. For the tape 14-0 and the reels 128 to 132 could also provide a separate drive with a variable speed motor in order to facilitate the adjustment of the dispensing speed of the finished product.

The device 200 ^! thus performs a work cycle for carrying out the preferred embodiment of the second stage of the method according to the invention, the ϊοΐ-ge is shown in FIGS. Assuming that the clamping and knife elements are in the Pig. 3 are located, it is to be noted that the pressure plate 220 and the slide 280 are vertically aligned and that the lower run 230 of the knife 226 is retracted away from the stationary plate 216 into a rearward position relative to the slide 280 and the pressure plate 220 . The stop 290 is vertical to the

- 28 -

Aligned guide plate 216 and he is in immediate See from their upper edge 224 arranged. These • * parts 216, 220, 280 and 290 thus define a guide for receiving the vertically upwardly directed multilayer, continuous fleece 110. The fleece is due to the intermittent drive of the feed rollers 208 to 214 advanced into a cutting position, as shown in FIG. 3. The height of the top of the fleece about

ψ the cutting plane can be adjusted as desired.

This height can for example be between 10 and 40 mm, depending according to the desired pile height on the finished product. In the next step shown in Fig. 4, the fleece clamped both above and below the plane of the moving knife blade 250 by the slide 280 and the pressure plate 220 can be moved forward horizontally against the stop 290 or the guide 216. This movement is completed by the pair of IT cams 272, which

^ ches moved the nozzle frame 232 forward. During the initial movement from the position of FIG. 3 i ⁿ the position of Fig. 4 remain the vertical flanges of the members 220 and 280 forward of the cutting edge of the knife blade 230 due to the pressure acting between these members and the support frame 232 loading springs "when The fleece 110 is firmly priced against the stops 216 and 290, as indicated in FIG

109840/1555 " ² ^ '

Fleece another movement of the slide 280 and the Prevent pressure plate 220, and the forward movement of these clamping elements is stopped while the slide 252 can move further to the right, as in FIGS. 3 to 5 seen. The movement of the frame 232 relative to the slider 280 and to the plate 220 is made possible due to the arrangement between these two elements and the frame resilient spring elements.

As the knife blade 230 continues moving to the right with the hub 232, it performs the cutting operation, as in Pig. 5, in which the strand 230 is shown at the end of its horizontal trajectory in the cutting direction. This forward movement of the knife blade 230 in conjunction with the very rapid movement of the continuously sharpened knife blade in a sighting perpendicular to the plane of the drawing causes a fast, clean separation of a fiber ^{strip 110 1} from the fleece 110, with the lasers being little or not at all pulled, puckered or stretched will. The cutting edge of the knife strand 230 is at the end of the cutting stroke between the stop 290 and the guide 216. In this position, the cutting edge is normally the entire web for heavier denier filament materials

- 30 109840/1555

traversed, i.e. it will have caused a complete severing of a fiber strip 110 '.

According to the next step of the method according to the invention, however, in order to ensure complete separation of the fibers, especially in the case of light, less dense fleece, the stop 290 can be moved a short distance to the left, as seen in FIG. 6, in the order of magnitude of about 8 mm. The cut strip 110 'is printed to the left on this tape, and with it the slider 280. This ensures that the fibers of the nonwoven located on the side of the plate 216 are pushed over the cutting edge of the knife blade and thus completely severed. The slider 280 can move back to the left when the stopper is moved to the left 290, as the telescopic piston rod of the air cylinder 286 can easily withdraw 286 ', thanks w of the arrangement of the aforementioned resilient connection means of the loading springs 287 · These internal load springs 287 are due to the greater force exerted by the stop 290, which force exceeds the restoring spring force during the slight backward movement of the slide 280.

- 31 109840/1555

In the next one shown in FIG. 7th step, the stop 290 is moved very quickly horizontally to the right, as seen in FIG. 7, while the slide 280 can return to its original position shown in FIG. 5 more slowly. In this way, the space between the slide 280 and the stop increases rapidly, whereby the strip 110 'can expand, that is, the previously laterally compressed amount of fiber in the cut strip 110' can expand laterally thanks to its inherent tension when the Clamping pressure is released. By allowing the cut strip 110 'to expand before the slider 280 performs its loading stroke, the cut strip is prevented from popping out. Such tearing or upward bulging could occur if the cut strip were suddenly released by lifting the stop 290 from its position shown in FIG. 1 while the full clamping pressure was still acting on the strip. By allowing the strip to expand, the frictional engagement of the right side of the strip 110 "with the opposite side of the stop is also reduced, thereby largely avoiding the cut strip 110 ¹ from lifting the stop during the next in Fig. 8 shown step for

109840/1555 -32-

Release the inlet of the collection chamber with the stop 290 is pulled up.

In the next in i'ig. 8, the stop 290 is in the step shown in S ¹ Ig. position shown in b, after which compressed air is supplied to the air cylinders 286 via solenoid valves controlled by the control unit 319. as a result, the slide 280 is moved to the right into the inlet of the collecting chamber 219 ', as in i'ig. 8, whereby the cut strip 110 'is pushed from the knife run 230 into the collection chamber. The strip 110 'pushed into the chamber lies against the strips already pushed into the chamber in the previous work steps and pushes them forwards (to the right) into the chamber, as a result of which the quantity of fibers in the chamber is conveyed further. This successive insertion cut strips and the force exerted by the evacuation-i'örderband 140 Heibungszugkraft cause further movement of the upright amount i'asern 124 on the top ^r frum 138 of the conveyor belt.

The fibers are preferably cut off about 0.8 mm longer as the vertical distance between the oppositely disposed surfaces of a table 218 and the

- 33 109840/1555

• Plate 284. It has been found that due to this excess length there is sufficient contact between the quantity of fibers. and the floor or ceiling of chamber 219 'is provided to frictionally hold the fibers in an upright position without unduly bending the fiber ends. The cover 284 advantageously has a smooth, flat underside and can be made of stainless steel or it can have a chrome-plated, machined surface. It is advantageously electrically conductive and ^{grounded via a connection 284 1} (FIG. J) in order to be able to divert the static electricity from the cut fibers. The i'isch 218 can be constructed similarly and connected to an electrical ground 218 '(FIG. 3). The horizontal extension of the collecting chamber from the inlet to the outlet or from left to right, as seen in FIGS. 4 to 9, is useful in the range between 20 and J6 cm. However, this extension can vary considerably depending on the fiber height, the production speed and the fiber strength. The drive of the conveyor belt 140 may be synchronized intermittent movement intervals with the cutting operation of the device 200 'and in particular the insertion abgeschnittender strips in the inlet of the collecting chamber 219 to receive *. However, it is also possible to drive the removal conveyor belt 140 uniformly at a speed that one

109840/1555 - 3 -

Average value corresponds with which the "strips" are inserted into the collecting chamber. The advancing speed of the conveyor belt 14-0 and the speed with which the strips ^{are pushed into the chamber 219 J} determine both the density of the fibers in the chamber and the extent to which the amount of jaser expands when it becomes a strand 1J8 of the conveyor belt 140 is moved forward. This in turn determines the fiber density on the conveyor belt 140 and thus in the end product, and this density can be precisely controlled within wide limits.

The last step in the operation of the formation 200 'consists in withdrawing the knife frame 232 by means of the springs 262, this movement being released by the socks 2 ^ 2 in order to return the knife strand 250 to the position shown in FIG. At the same time, the slide 280 is brought into its initial position both by means of the air cylinder 286 and by the backward movement of the frame 232. The pressure plate 220 kenrt also by moving with the knife frame or slide 232 back to its starting position. After the slider is retracted into the 280 in Fig. 9 ₃ position shown, the stop is lowered and 290 to the left into its starting

109840/1555

position moved. The device then begins a new work cycle controlled by the control unit 319 will.

The carrier material 126 is fed via the roller 128 at the same speed and in the same manner, like the opposite upper strand 138 of the conveyor belt 140, namely ^ e according to Pail intermittent or continually. The roller 128 is expediently arranged above the upper run 138 at a distance that is sufficient in order to press the carrier material 126 lightly against the upper ends of the fibers 124 carried on the strand 138. The engagement can be in the range of approximately 0.8 mm. The conveyor belt 140 conveys the carrier material with the fibers glued to it through a suitable one Hardening furnace, which can be equipped with "Calrod" heating elements, which are suspended above the carrier material, in order to heat up the carrier material by radiation and thus cure the adhesive. Behind the stove or heater Suitable feed rollers and equipment for handling the product may be provided around the substrate tension to the correct extent relative to the speed of the feed rollers 142 and roller 128.,

It has been found that if the fibers at the ends of a cut strip can drag against the side walls of the lambs, this causes the strips to tip over. Then some of the fibers in the strip can become cesoriented. Since it is particularly useful in the case of fine hair fibers

it is moderate that the fibers are not along their longitudinal edges the i-ienge 124 backward-old-v / earth remains as the only one Liability is the one who intervened as a result of the vei'ti & len between the top plate 284 and the bottom plate 218 of the chamber and the natural inclination of the air in the compressed henge to be adherent to one another, created will.

For the above reasons and in order to enable visual observation, it may therefore be desirable to remove all ocite plaques as long as the cover plate 2b4 and the base plate 218 extend laterally over the jj'aseriuenge 124 by several centimeters expand every opening. Since the fibers along the edges are less held together than the fibers arranged on the inside, some fibers can loosen from the length and fall down, meaning that fibers can become disoriented at the longitudinal edges. This narrow outer area with eye-oriented fibers is therefore later cut away from the product 137 after the fibers have been glued to the carrier material.
