Abstract

<PICT:0691391/IV (c)/1> An artificial crimp is imparted to textile fibres by passing them through a zone containing a heated fluid and moisture, maintaining them in this zone for a time to presoften them for crimping, gripping them between closely-spaced conveyer surfaces discharging into a substantially closed zone and forcing the gripped fibres into the latter zone against the pressure of a mass of fibres held compacted under pressure therein, the said pressure being adapted to cause the fibres to be progressively folded over and crimped as they are delivered from the conveyer surfaces, holding the mass of crimped fibres compacted under a substantially constant pressure to retain the crimp therein, introducing a setting agent under pressure into the closed zone, treating the mass while thus compacted with the setting agent under conditions to produce a permanent set of the crimp in the fibres, and withdrawing the fibres from the said closed zone. As shown, opened and scoured wool is fed in sliver form 74 through a pre-treating tank 70 containing water or a chemical setting agent such as thioglycolic acid heated (e.g. to 212 DEG F.) by a steam pipe 73. The treatment time is such that the fibres swell and soften by absorbing within themselves 20 to 30 per cent of their weight of moisture. Instead of using liquid treatment, the fibres may be subjected to steam, preferably saturated, to give the same swelling and softening effect. The pre-treated fibres are then passed by rollers 11, 12 through crimping and setting chambers 36, 34 as described in Specification 690,063, in which they are treated with a setting agent such as superheated water, steam or a chemical supplied through a pipe 65. As chemical setting agents, thioglycolic acid and its salts, formaldehyde, or a sulphoxylate formaldehyde may be used. The setting agent may be heated to a temperature between 212 DEG and 275 DEG F. Any excess of water or other setting agent drains out of the bottom of the setting chamber 34. The emerging sliver, which is characterized by sharp angular crimps, may be dried, carded and spun in the usual manner. Specification 682,263 also is referred to.
