Definitions

  • the present invention relates to thermally setting newlyformed textile products. More particularly, the invention concerns thermally setting the product directly on the loom or knitting machine.
  • Newly-formed textile products are frequently somewhat unstable physically and may be susceptible to damage by disarrangement or displacement of the fibers or yarns during latex-coating, dyeing or other subsequent operations.
  • This susceptibility to damage is particularly severe with certain fabric constructions, such as tufted-pile or loopedpile fabrics. Sections of the fabric in which the pile has been disturbed frequently must be discarded since it would be uneconomical to repair them; in some operations waste or losses from this cause are as high as or percent of the total yardage produced.
  • the fabric is heat-set while still on the loom and before the face of the fabric has been contacted by anything which might disturb the original and desired woven configuration.
  • a primary object of the invention is to provide an efficient method for heat-setting of fabrics.
  • a further object is to provide a method of the above character which significantly increases the output of first quality fabric.
  • a further object is to provide heat-setting apparatus for practicing the above method.
  • a generalized fabric-forming apparatus 20 which for simplicity of discussion will be considered to be a Jacquard loom producing a woven looped-pile fabric 22.
  • fabric 22 passes over a support member such as roll 2 and is laterally spread to the proper fabric width by a conventional temple mechanism 26.
  • Fabric 22 next passes over a guide roll 28 and is wound on a take-up roll 30.
  • a heating element 32 is mounted on loom and extends transversely under fabric 22 to heat-set the loops in the woven position at some point before the fabric is taken up by take-up roll 30, i.e., before anything contacts or disarranges the loops on the face of the freshly-formed fabric.
  • a temperature controller 34 is connected to heating element 32, and maintains the element at the proper temperature.
  • the rate at which heat is applied to the fabric may vary over a wide range, being limited by the melting point of the filaments on the one hand and by the necessity of applying heat rapidly enough to set nited States Patent 0 3,234,971 Patented Feb. 15, 1966 the fabric as it is woven on the other hand.
  • the proper temperature of element 32 will be determined by such factors as the fabric construction, the types of yarn employed, the spacing of the heating element from the fabric, the speed of the fabric past the heating element, and other similar considerations which will readily occur to those skilled in the art.
  • heating element 32 was mounted about inch below the lower or back surface of fabric 22, and extended across the entire width of the fabric.
  • the backing fabric was of cotton and rayon construction and the looped-pile was continuous filament nylon yarn having a total denier of 840 and 136 filaments. With about 7 /2 linear inches of fabric being woven and passing over element 32 per minute, temperature controller 34 was adjusted to maintain element 32 at about C.
  • the present invention provides for greatly increased efiiciency in the production of fabrics which contain thermoplastic yarns capable of being heat-set.
  • the fabric is stabilized in the desired form and is much less subject to damage in later processing operations to which the fabric may be subjected.
  • the invention may conveniently be practiced by mounting an electrical heater adjacent the freshly formed fabric at some point before the fabric is taken up. Since electrical heaters are conveniently available in compact physical dimensions, such heaters may readily be added to existing looms or knitting machines at a minimum cost. However, other heat sources may be installed in place of the specifically disclosed electrical heater, if desired.
  • a method of manufacturing stable pile fabrics comprising in combination:
  • a method of manufacturing stable pile fabrics comprising in combination:
  • Apparatus for producing stable fabrics from yarn composed at least in part of thermoplastic filaments comprising in combination:
  • heating means located adjacent said fabric at a point near said temple mechanism for heat-setting said spread fabric in its woven configuration while said projecting loops are unrestrained;
