  • the crimp-set fibers are withdrawn by delivery rolls 3S and fed to a suitable winder, not shown.
  • the yarn is reciprocated axially of the feed rolls 15 and 16, thereby varying the feed of the crimped fibers diametrically of the tube 12 so as to maintain uniform conditions throughout the entire cross sectional area of the tube.
  • the traverse produced by the guide roll 30 may be somewhat greater than the diameter of the tube 12 and the rate of the traverse may be varied across the diameter of the tube by a suitable design of the groove 31 so as to distribute the mass of crimped fibers uniformly in the tube.
  • the roll may be driven solely by contact with the feed roll 16 if desired, in which case the guide roll is made of a difierent diameter than the feed roll so as to prevent the fibers from wearing a groove in the surface of the feed roll.
  • the feed roll 15 is held in constant pressure engagement with the yarn by the weight 20 which may be replaced or altered from time to time as required according to the type of fibers which are being processed.
  • the reciprocating feed is obtained by means of a roll 55 having a peripheral groove 56 for guiding the yarn.
  • the roll 55 is mounted on a sphere 57 secured on a sleeve 58.
  • the sleeve 58 carries at its end a disc 59 in which adjusting screws 60 are threaded.
  • the screws 60 engage the side of the roll 55 and may be adjusted to vary the tilt of the roll 55 with respect to the axis of the sleeve 58 for changing the traverse.
  • the disc 59 is grooved to receive a driving belt 64 by which the roll 55 is driven.
  • the sleeve 58 is journaled on a tube 61 carried by a bolt 62 secured in an adjustable bracket 63 of the housing 10.
  • the construction of the remainder of the crimping apparatus is the same as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 and corresponding parts have been identified by the same reference numbers.
  • the guide roll 55 may be driven in the same direction r 3 as the feed roll 16 but at a different peripheral speed or may be driven in the opposite direction.
  • the reciprocating feed is provided by a feed bar 65 slidably held in brackets 66 by screws 67 passing through slots 68 in the bar.
  • the bar is provided with a transverse hole 69 at one end through which the yarn passes to the bite of the feed rolls 15 and 16.
  • the bar 65 is formed with a rounded end 70 which is held against a cam disc 74 which is mounted on the shaft 17 of the feed roll 16.
  • the cam disc 74 is shown as having a thin flexible part 75 and a rigid part 77.
  • the flexible part 75 is adjusted by a set screw 78 threaded in the rigid part 77 for varying the pitch of the cam surface so as to adjust the traverse.
  • a tension spring 80 holds the end 70 of the bar 65 in' contact with the cam disc 74. This spring 80 extends between a screw 67 and a pin 81 on the bar 65.
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 The operation of the embodiment of FIGS. 3 and 4 is similar to that of FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • the crimping chamber is formed by a tube 12a which is rectangular in cross section and is provided with end walls 85 and side walls 86.
  • One of the end walls 85 is provided with an axial bore 87 in which a heating element 88, such as a Calrod is disposed.
  • This heating element extends over the lower portion of the chamber 12a for heating the same, leaving the upper portion of the chamber 12a as a cooling zone so that the fibers may be cooled below the setting temperature before they are discharged.
  • the plug 35a is a rectangular section -to fit in the chamber 12a and is provided with a rectangular bore 36a through which the fibers are extracted.
  • the end walls 85 of the chamber 12a extend downwardly over the ends of the feed rolls 15a and 16a to .form with the bite of the feed rolls a closed crimping zone.
  • a guide roll 30a is provided with a double helical groove 31a which is so shaped that the fibers which are guided by this groove make a complete traverse from one side of the chamber 12a to the other during a 360 rotation of the guide roll 30a and return to the first side of the chamber during the next 360 rotation of the guide roll.
  • the groove 31a is so designed that the rate of traverse is varied as required to obtain a uniform distribution of the fibers across the entire width of the chamber 12a.
  • the guide roll 30a is driven by a gear 34a as in FIG. 1.
  • the construction and operation of this embodiment is otherwise similar to that described above. It will be noted that using a rectangular chamber and providing a guide roll with a traverse which extends parallel to the side walls '86, the fibers may be more uniformly packed than in the case of circular cross section. Furthermore, a more uniform heat transfer is obtained since the side walls 86 transfer heat to the fibers across the entire face of the chamber and the chamber is relatively thin in the transverse direction. The fibers are more rapidly cooled in the cooling zone for the same reason.
  • the capacity of the crimping apparatus can be increased by increasing the width of the chamber 12a while maintaining the chamber relatively thin in the transverse direction so as to maintain substantially the same heat transfer characteristics.
  • heating unit 88 is shown as disposed in one of the end walls 85. It is to be understood, of course, that the heating unit can be applied directly to one of the side walls 86 if desired.
  • FIG. 9 difiers from that shown in the preceding figures in that the guide roll 30b of FIG. 9 is carried on a bracket which is pivoted at 91.
  • the guide roll 3% is held against the periphery of the feed roll 16b by means of a weight 92 which is attached to the bracket 90.
  • the remaining figures correspond to those of FIGS. 1 and 2 and have been given the same reference numerals with the sufiix b.
  • the guide roll 30b is driven solely by the contact with the rotating feed roll 16b. The operation is otherwise similar to that of FIGS. 1 and 2.
