Definitions

  • FIG. 7 2a INVENTOR.
  • FIG. II FIG I5 d W T I- I FIG. l2 FIG. I6
  • This invention relates to improved yarn packages and particularly to yarn packages which are wound on tubes using a ring twister, together with a method for winding same.
  • Another object of this invention is to provide yarn packages in which variations in elasticity modulus in individual layers of yarn are minimized.
  • Still another object of this invention is to provide yarn packages in which variations in elasticity modulus radially through the package are substantially reduced.
  • a further object of this invention is to provide a method for winding yarn packages using a ring twister in which variations in elasticity modulus in each layer of yarn are minimized.
  • Another object of this invention is to provide a method for winding yarn using a ring twister in which variations in elasticity modulus radially through the package are substantially reduced.
  • the advantages of a ring twister may be combined with those of winding on a cross-wound bobbin.
  • the invention comprises winding a yarn package in such a way that substantially all individual 3,259,337 Patented July 5, 1966 layer reversing points obtained as a result of traversing are covered by the innermost and outermost layers of the yarn. This is accomplished by programming the yarn package buildup in such a way that at least an intermediate portion of the yarn package is wound using a stroke shortening cycle immediately followed by a stroke lengthening cycle.
  • Stroke length variation may be practiced throughout the entire package buildup; or, alternatively, an initial amount of innermost layers of yarn and a final amount of outermost layers of yarn may be formed on the package using a constant stroke length. If a constant stroke length is used during the innermost and outermost layer buildup, the innermost layers of yarn should not contain more than 25 percent by weight of the package and the outermost layers not more than 45 percent by weight of the package. Preferably, the entire layer of yarn lying on the surface of the tube is wound in the first traverse stroke, and the yarn layer forming the outer surface of the package is wound in the last traverse stroke. Yarn which has been subjected to heat treatment prior to lWiI'lding is preferably used for package building.
  • the yarn packages of the present invention decrease in diameter toward each end.
  • they have a cylindrical central portion with tapered or substantially conical ends.
  • practically all of the reversing points are located inside the tapered end portions of the package.
  • the reversing points in each pack-age end lie along a conical line between the conical outer surface and the yarn layer lying on the tube.
  • conical is intended to mean exactly conical or slightly off from conical, i.e. concave or convex.
  • a yarn package in which the yarn package is formed using stroke length variation throughout the entire package, a yarn package is wound consisting of a first pontion starting from the tube surface in which the traverse stroke is gradually reduced and a second portion in which the traverse stroke is gradually increased to approximately its original length, the portion built up with the stroke being lengthened completely covering the portion obtained with the stroke being shortened. If the last stroke of the portion obtained using stroke lengthening is a little longer than the [first traverse stroke of the portion built up using stroke shortening, then the entire package is covered and in the event of the package getting damaged or contaminated only the outermost yarn layer is wasted.
  • the transition from the portion of the package wound with stroke shontening to the portion of the package Wound with stroke lengthening is approximately at the point in the package Where the elasticity modulus is lowest relative to the variation thereof radially through the package.
  • the differences in elasticity modulus most favorably influence the quality of the package if the portion wound with stroke shortening forms at least 10 percent and not more than 55 percent by weight of the package and preferably about 30 percent by weight of the package.
  • a yarn package may be obtained in which the yarn wound in each traverse stroke has only slight variances in elasticity modulus if in the completed package practically all the points of each yarn layer Wound including the reversing points are substantially in that area in which the forces that influence yarn package quality, particularly elasticity modulus, are constant.
  • Such a package is obtained if the speed of the traverse motion between two successive re versing points is gradually changed, depending on the shape of the area with constant elasticity modulus in package. For example, the stroke is slower at the ends in the area of the reversing points and faster in the middle.

  • FIGURES 13, 14, and 16 are views in cross section of packages wound according to the traversing patterns of FIGURES 9, 10, 11, and 12, respectively.
  • yarn package 1 is wound on tube 2.
  • the package 1 has conical top and bottom ends 3 and 4, respectively, and a cylindrical central portion 5.
  • Fresh ly drawn synthetic filament yarns are often wound into packages corresponding to the contour of the package depicted in FIGURE 1, the weight of which may range from 500 to 2000 grams.
  • the tube surface is represented by line 6, the conical outer surface of the package end by line 7, and the cylindrical outer surface of the package by line 8.
  • the thickness of the package is indicated by the distance A.

  • T is the time required for building an entire package having thickness A.
  • Line 11 refers to the variations in the length of the traverse stroke and the position thereof while the package is being formed.
  • FIGURE 3 shows that the entire layer of yarn lying on the surface of the tube is wound in the first traverse stroke, and that the layer of yarn forming the outer surface of the package is laid in the last traverse stroke.
  • the package consists of a first portion starting from the tube surface in which the traverse stroke is gradually reduced during period T and a second portion in which, during period T the traverse stroke is gradually increased to its initial length.
  • the package portions formed during periods T and T are referred to in FIGURE 2 by A and A respectively.
  • the periods T and T are so chosen that the yarn layer wound with the shortest traverse stroke is in the area or layer of the package with the lowest elasticity modulus.
  • the distance from point C to the tube surface 6 is approximately equal to the distance A From the FIGURES 2 and 3 it can be seen that the elasticity modulus of the reversing points on line 9 theoretically lie on lines 12 and 13.
  • the variations in modulus occurring in yarn wound in one traverse stroke are represented in FIG- URE 2 by the vertical distance between the lines 12 and 13 and line 10.
  • the portion A should contain at least 10 percent and not more than percent by weight of the yarn package and preferably 30 percent by weight of the package.
  • the lines 12 and 13 being relatively close to the line 10, the difference in elasticity modulus caused by the reversing points are relatively small.
  • D and E the differences in modulus are indicated by D and E, respectively.
  • FIG. 1 diagrammatically shows the build-up and position of yarn layers 18 in a package in which the reversing points do not cause any variations in elasticity modulus.

  • the package of FIGURE 5 substantially corresponds to that of FIG- URE 2, like reference numerals referring to like parts. Both packages may be wound using a traverse motion pattern in the shape of an asymmetrical hour glass as shown in FIGURE 3. However, in order to obtain such a package, the speed of the traverse motion between two successive reversing points at the ends of the package must be changed in each stroke depending on the shape of the areas 18 having constant elasticity modulus.
  • FIGURE 6 Such a variation of the traverse motion as a function of time is diagrammatically shown in FIGURE 6 for a layer of yarn in the portion of the package built up with stroke shortening, the time being plotted horizontal and the stroke vertical.
  • the distances F represent the time re quired for making one given traverse stroke.
  • the speed of the stroke is slower at ends and faster in the middle.
  • all the reversing points lie approximately along line 9.
  • FIGURES l to 6, inclusive are preferred for producing yarn packages having the most desirable build-up.

  • Lines 20 to 23, inclusive indicate the variation in the stroke length and the position of the stroke as a function of time, T being the time required to build up the entire package.
  • T being the time required to build up the entire package.
  • the first half of the package is wound with the stroke gradually being shortened, and the second half with the stroke gradually being increased.
  • FIGURE 8 a number of yarn layers are first wound, which preferably form about 9 percent of the package, use being made of a traverse stroke which is about equal to the total length of the package so as to form a relatively soft underlayer on the tube for the rest of the package. Thereafter, practically the entire package is wound on such underlayer using a smaller traverse 5 stroke the position of which is gradually shifted over the package. Finally, the outer yarn layers, which form about 18 percent of the weight of the package, are wound using a traverse stroke which has about the same length as the initial stroke and also the same position, so that the entire package is covered.
