Definitions

  • Synthetic filaments are melt-spun or solution-spun through orifices in a spinneret, and then normally they are wound-up on cylinders to provide supply packages for subsequent processing steps, such as that of drawing.
  • Drawing, or stretching, of synthetic filaments is carried out in order to increase their tenacity by reason of molecular orientation.
  • such drawing is carried out between two sets of rolls, the second set of which rotates at a peripheral speed several times (according to the desired draw ratio) that of the first set.
  • Heat may or may not be applied to the filaments between the sets of rolls, to assist in drawing and in localising the point of draw.
  • Synthetic filaments or yarns are also nowadays often submitted to a bulking treatment, as by edge-crimping, stulfer-box crimping, twist-crimping or air-turbulence bulking.
  • a bulking treatment as by edge-crimping, stulfer-box crimping, twist-crimping or air-turbulence bulking.
  • the filaments or yarns it is necessary for the filaments or yarns to be heated concurrently with the bulking treatment in order that the deforming effect shall be sufficiently pronounced and in order that some degree of permanence shall be imparted to the deformed state of the filaments or yarns.
  • a friction device such as a snubbing-pin
  • a friction device such as a snubbing-pin
  • the preferred stutter-box crimper for use in the process of the invention because of the simple, controlled nature of its arrangements for discharging the crimped filaments or yarns, is one which, besides the nip rolls, consists solely of a driven discharge wheel whose axis is at right angles to the axes of the nip rolls and whose periphery is presented closely into the nip of the nip rolls and on the discharge side thereof.
  • a stuffer-box as described in British patent specification No. 873,368, the rate of discharge of the crimped yarn is controllable in correlation with the rate of feed so that the frequency of crimp in the yarn can be selected and be maintained uniform.
  • nip rolls are, in effect, being employed as draw rolls, it is essential that their action on the filaments or yarns shall be uniform both as to their speed and as to the pressure they exert against one another.
  • pressure e.g. 30 pounds for 1040 denier multifilament nylon yarn, can be made adjustable in known manner. Although some slip between the rolls may occur, such will be acceptable if it occurs uniformly.
  • Drawing may take place according to the invention either whilst the filaments or yarns are being continuously forwarded from the spinning machine or as a separate operation from spinning.
  • FIGURE 1 is a perspective view of apparatus according to the embodiment.
  • FIGURE 2 is a diagrammatic sectional view of the stutter-box crimper of FIGURE 1.
  • undrawn multi-filament yarn 1 of e.g. polyhexamethylene adipamide is positively withdrawn by feed rolls 3 from a spinning cylinder package (not shown).
  • the yarn is led through a pigtail guide 5 positioned a few inches above the nip of the nip rolls 7, 9 of a stutter-box crimper of the above-mentioned preferred type.
  • the nip rolls of the crimper are of stainless steel and are 1 inch in diameter.
  • Nip rolls 7, 9 rotate at a peripheral speed several times that of feed rolls 3, depending upon the desired draw ratio.
  • 1040 denier/ 15 denier per filament yarns of polyhexamethylene adipamide, the filaments of which had a trilobal cross-section have successfully been drawn to a draw ratio of 4 and crimped at 500 feet per minute, such being the peripheral rate of the nip rolls.
  • 420 denier/6 denier per filament yarns of polyhexamethylene adipamide, again with trilobal cross-section filaments have been drawn to a draw ratio in excess of 4 and crimped at 250 feet per minute.
  • the yarns were suitable for use as the pile of tufted carpets; and in the latter case, the yarns were suitable for knitted underwear.
  • a process for drawing and bulking yarns of synthetic continuous filaments consisting of the steps of (a) forwarding an undrawn yarn of synthetic continuous filaments at a predetermined linear rate to the nip rolls of a stutter-box crimper;
  • a process for drawingi-and'biilkingiyarns of synthetic continuous filaments consistingof the steps of i (a) forwarding an ,undrawn yarn of synthetic continuous filaments at a, predetermined linear rate t0 the nip rolls of a stuffer-box crimper; V V I,
  • 11A process for drawing and bulking yarns of synthetic continuous filaments consisting of the steps of (a) forwarding an undrawn yarn of synthetici contlDllOuS filaments at a predetermined linear rate to the nip rolls of a stutter-box crimper;
