Definitions

  • 2,997,747 which includes a stuffer crimper having a tube forming a crimper chamber into which the yarn is fed by a pair of feed rolls to be folded over and crimped against a mass of previously crimped yarn held together compacted in the tube.
  • the mass of crimped yarn is discharged in the form of a core from the end of the tube and is wound together with a confining tape onto a core package for further treatment.
  • the core is space dyed by spraying a dye at a uniform or at a variable rate onto the core in the zone between the end of the crimping tube and the core package, or by applying the dye to the tape prior to winding into package form.
  • the package with the dye disposed either on the core or on the tape is steamed in a dye Vat to set the dye on the yarn. Since the dye is applied primarily to the surface of the core the outer portions of yarn will take a different shade than the portions in the interior of the core so that a space dyed effect is obtained.
  • the yarn is withdrawn from the core package and rewound onto a yarn package in the usual manner.

It is confined on the package 41 between tapes 50 in the form of a plurality of convolutions in several layers with the core of crimped fibers in adjacent convolutions bound and separated by the intervening convolutions of ta'pe.
  • the packing of the core in the winding is determined by the rate of feed of the tape 50 with respect to the feed of the drive rolls 10, 11.
  • These elements may be driven at a constant but adjustable ratio or the feed rolls 10 and 11 may be driven through a constant torque clutch in which event the rate of feed is controlled by the back pressure on the fibers due to the tension of the tape 50 as it is wound on the package 41.
  • the tape 50 envelops the end f the tube 33 in a sufficiently close manner to control the back pressure exerted on the mass of crimped iibers within the tubes 4 and 33.

  • the tape 50 is fed from the supply roll 51 under a barrier 60a which confines a quantity of dye 61 on the surface of the tape 50 and under a doctor blade 52 which strips the excess dye from the tape.
  • the dye may be dried if necessary or the tape may be fed directly to the core package 4-1.
  • Dye may be supplied to the space between the barrier 60a and the tape 50 from a nozzle 60b.
  • FIG. illustrates an apparatus for printing the dye onto the upper surface of the tape.
  • a roll 69 dips into a dye pan 71 and engages a transfer roll 72 which in turn engages a roll 73 contacting the surface of the tape 50 in advance of the package 41.
  • the roll 73 may be contoured if desired to imprint a design on the tape 50.
  • FIG. 6 A further embodiment is shown in FIG. 6 wherein a dye in powder form is dropped from -a nozzle 80 onto the surface of the tape 50 in advance of the package 41.
