Definitions

  • EP 0 367 938 B describes a two-component yarn which has at least one multifilament first yarn component, which is arranged in the interior of the yarn and which is referred to as the core material, and at least one second multifilament effect material enveloping the core material.
  • the two aforementioned multifilament yarns are intermingled with one another in such a way that the necessary thread closure is achieved by intertwining the two yarn materials results.
  • such a filament yarn is used as the first yarn material, the specific strength of which is already very high as a starting material compared to a standard textile yarn.
  • EP 0367 938 B thus teaches that a high-strength multifilament yarn is already used as the starting material.
  • fiber yarns or twists are also known.
  • Core yarns are also known, as described for example in DE 24 36 997 B.
  • the known yarn has a multifilament core material, which is wound with a second yarn component to form a core yarn.
  • the core material of the well-known core yarn consists of stretched and fixed multifilament fibers, the high-strength multifilament yarns previously described for the intermingled yarn usually also being used for this. These high-strength multifilament yarns are considerably more expensive than standard textile fibers.
  • EP 0 363 798 A A yarn with the features of the preamble of claim 1 is known from EP 0 363 798 A.
  • This publication describes a sewing thread which is formed from multifilament thread components, the specific strength of the known sewing thread being greater than 40 cN / tex.
  • the known sewing thread has the construction of a loop sewing thread, this construction also being commonly referred to as air-entangled thread. Because of this construction, the known sewing thread has a relatively open, voluminous structure, this structure being achieved by the fact that the effect yarn component used to produce the loop sewing thread protrudes loop-like or loop-shaped over the fiber yarn axis of the soul component relative to the largely parallel soul component.
  • EP 0 363 798 A expressly emphasizes that high-strength yarns, which are also commonly referred to as technical yarns, are used to produce this known loop sewing thread.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide a yarn of the type specified, which has an extremely high resistance to mechanical stresses at a particularly low manufacturing price.
  • the yarn according to the invention in particular a sewing thread according to the invention, has a specific strength between 32 cN / tex and 55 cN / tex, the yarn according to the invention being formed from multifilament yarn components like the known yarn described above.

  • the core of each core yarn is spun by the at least one second yarn component to form the core yarn, the core of each core yarn forming at least one multifilament yarn component being a standard textile standard multifilament yarn.
  • the yarn according to the invention which comprises at least two, preferably two to four, twisted core yarns has a number of advantages. It was thus surprisingly found that such a yarn has the previously stated high strengths between 32 cN / tex and 55 cN / tex, in particular between 37 cN / tex and 48 cN / tex, although soul materials are used to produce this yarn in deviation from the prior art described above, they are not high-strength multifilament yarns but standard textile standard multifilament yarns. This in turn leads to the yarn according to the invention being particularly inexpensive to produce.
  • the yarn according to the invention is used as a sewing thread, such a sewing thread is characterized in that it performs the usual sewing operations, for example multidirectional sewing or buttonhole sewing, even at extremely high sewing speeds of up to 7,000 stitches per minute without one Damage to the yarn survives.
  • the yarn according to the invention does not cause any sewing disturbances in the area of the ready-to-wear.
  • a first embodiment of the yarn according to the invention has core yarns in which the multifilament yarn components forming the core have an intrinsic viscosity between 0.5 dl / g and 0.75 dl / g, in particular an intrinsic viscosity between 0.55 dl / g and 0.63 dl / g.
  • These are multifilament polyester yarn components.
  • the values of the intrinsic viscosity mentioned above reflect the molecular structure (molecular weight, chemical composition) of the polyester multifilament yarns used, the degree of condensation of the polymers also correspondingly increasing with increasing viscosity.
  • the values given above refer to polymer solutions in dichloroacetic acid at 25 ° C.
  • this single-filament titer varies between 0.6 dtex and 6 dtex, preferably between 1.5 dtex and 4 dtex.

  • each pre-oriented multifilament yarn is drawn in such a way that this multifilament yarn is stretched over feeds a delivery godet wrapped in the yarn at a first speed to a main stretching zone.
  • the multifilament yarn is then withdrawn from the main drawing zone at a second speed via a take-off godet wrapped in the pre-oriented multifilament yarn, the second speed being 70% to 180%, preferably 100% to 160%, greater than the first speed.
  • the take-off godet is heated to a temperature between 160 ° C. and 240 ° C.
