Definitions

  • Thisiinvention relates to a method and apparatus for cleaning yarn andaimsto remove impurities, such as parts of seeds, parts of stems, slubs, speaks, and other particles from yarn before the yarn is formed into fabric so that a superior quality of fabric may be produced from comparatiyely inexpensive yarns.
  • the new method of yarn cleaning incorporating this feature consists in (1,) pp y ng sc per, (565mb, e e cleaning means to a travelling yarn in such relation thereto as to remove particles and some fibrous matter from the yarn, (2)' so changing the relation .ofthe cleaning means fibrous vmatter remaining in the; cleaning means become loosely-reattached to the yarn and are thus drawn away from the cleaning ineans,and (3) removing from the travelling yarn, at a further point in itsltravel, the particles and fibrous In atter. which have been loosely reattached to it.
