Definitions

  • the object of the present invention is to provide an improved method and apparatus for producing uniform and controllable spacing between adjacent turns of the filaments or threads when advancing and spacing them in a limited space and facilitating the application of wet or dry processing treatments to them.
  • Apparatus according to the invention adapted for the advancement and spacing of artificial filaments and threads during treatments in a limited space comprises as one component thereof a rotatable cage comprising two end plates or the like connected by a number of rods or bars of equal length disposed around them and flexibly attached thereto, each.
  • end plates being adapted, during rotation of the cage about its pseudo axis, synchronously to rotate around an axis perpendicular to the plate and intersecting the pseudo axis of the cage at an angle, said two end plate axes being in the same plane and parallel or nearly parallel to each other but not collinear, and as another component thereof one or more filament or thread supporting members so positioned with respect .to the first component that the external tangential planes common to both components are perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the aforesaid plane containing the axes of the two end plates of the first component.
  • the method for the continuous advancement and spacing of artificial filaments or threads during the application of treatments to them comprises passing the artificial filaments or threads several times around the filament or thread supporting memher and the rotating cage as hereinbefore described .in such a manner that any particular portion of the advancing filament or thread on the cage remains for substantially half a turn of the cage on a point on a rod or bar that moves towards one end of the cage duringthat half turn before it is taken off and led on to the said filament or thread supporting member.
  • the said filament or thread supporting member may be one or more rods, rollers, or rotating cages of the kind constituting the first mentioned component of the apparatus according to the invention, or one or more rotating cages wherein the axes of the two end plates of each cage are collinear and coincident with the axis of the cage.
  • the fiexible mountings of the rods or bars may take the form of bushes or tie pieces of rubber or other resilient or flexible material.
  • the rotating cage may be either generally conical or generally cylindrical in shape.
  • the, filament or thread supporting member may be a similar conical rotating cage, both cages rotating with substantially equal angular velocities, so that the filament or thread can be gradually stretched.
  • the end plates and their respective axes are desirably parallel, but if it is generally conical the axis of the smaller end plate is preferably at a greater angle to the pseudo axis of the cage than is the axis of the larger end plate.
  • the resulting spacing of the continuously advancing filaments or threads can be understood when it is recognized that in either form of cage the bars or rods have reciprocating mitions in differing phases in a direction parallel to the pseudo axis, so that there is a maximum displacement towards one end of the cage when the cage has made half a turn, of any particular point on these bars or rods which lie in the plane of the taken off and led on to the filament or thread supporting member.
