Definitions

  • This invention relates to a double twist thread twisting process, sometimes referred to as a two-for-one twisting process, wherein a superficial coating of a lubricating agent is applied to the twisted thread, and the invention is further directer to apparatus for the execution of this process.
  • twisting thread For the purpose of twisting thread, it is now conventional to employ a double twist twisting device whereby the thread is drawn off over-head or tangentially from a stationary or rotatable delivery bobbin and is then conducted downwardly through a longitudinal bore of a hollow bobbin spindle. The thread is then drawn off radially from the lower end of the spindle over a rotating storage or accumulator disc and then with the formation of an outer thread balloon, the thread is conducted upwardly through a guide loop or eye positioned above the bobbin and spindle, the thread finally being drawn onto a preliminary draw-off device or directly onto a take-up or storage reel. In this manner, a double twist is imparted to the thread.
  • the thread is drawn from the bobbin over-head into the inlet of the hollow spindle, there is usually formed a relatively small, so-called inner thread balloon rotating inside the outer thread balloon which is characteristic of the double twist twisting process.
  • inner thread balloon rotating inside the outer thread balloon which is characteristic of the double twist twisting process.
  • mantle in the form of a ring, cage or cylinder shell concentric with the spindle axis. This mantle serves to reduce thread tension in the balloon.
  • the double twist device can be used to twist a single thread, or it is also possible for several threads to be drawn off and twisted together from one plying bobbin or from two or more individual bobbins superimposed one above the other on the hollow spindle.
  • the thread is supplied from the delivery bobbins in a dry state to the double twist twisting spindles.
  • double twist twisting devices also be employed for wet twisting, in which process the thread is completely soaked or impregnated with water or other moistening agents before twisting the thread.
  • This wet twist process is used in order to obtain a twisted thread or yarn which is very supple and flexible in any subsequent processing.
  • the moistening or impregnation must be accomplished while the thread or yarn is in a relatively untwisted open state, or else the desired properties of flexibility cannot be achieved.
  • the present invention is concerned with a problem which is entirely distinct from that sought to be solved by the wet twisting process. More particularly, the present invention is concerned with a difficult problem which arises when using a double twist device for twisting threads or yarns composed of staple fibers, including threads or yarns of natural or synthetic fibers or mixtures thereof and also including such specific materials as cotton or wool in which the fibers have a finite length or mixed yarns of natural and synthetic fibers such as wool and polyethylene terephthalate or nylon fibers.
  • a double twist device for twisting threads or yarns composed of staple fibers, including threads or yarns of natural or synthetic fibers or mixtures thereof and also including such specific materials as cotton or wool in which the fibers have a finite length or mixed yarns of natural and synthetic fibers such as wool and polyethylene terephthalate or nylon fibers During the double twisting of such thread and especially in the vicinity of the outer thread balloon pattern, there arises a very undesirable and substantial accumulation of flying fibers or dust caused primarily by small protru
  • the primary object of the present invention is to provide an improvement in the double twist twisting process and apparatus whereby the formation of fiber dust can be substantially reduced or eliminated.
  • Another object of the invention is to prevent the formation of fiber dust in an economical manner and by a combination of apparatus which can be readily assembled and used with existing installations of double twist twisters.
  • Yet another object of the invention is to avoid the serious problems caused by the formation of fiber dust so as to improve the quality and desirable properties of single or multiple ply twisted thread or yarns composed of staple fibers. It is also a specific object of the invention to realize these and other advantages when twisting relatively weak threads or yarns requiring the use of a balloonlimiting mantle.
  • Such objects are achieved in accordance with the process of the present invention by continuously applying to the surface of the twisted thread after its emergence from the hollow spindle and before or during passage of the thread through the balloon pattern a small amount of a lubricating agent sufiicient to substantially reduce friction on the twisted thread and loss of fiber ends therefrom.
  • the amount of the lubricating agent applied as a thin coating on the external surface of the thread should be not more than about 2% by weight with reference to the thread, and this amount must be sumciently small to prevent an excess accumulation of the lubricating agent on the surfaces over which the thread passes during the twisting process. In general, satisfactory results are achieved with an amount between about 0.05 and 1.0% by weight, preferably from approximately 0.1 to 0.5% by weight, with reference to the weight of the thread.
  • the process of the invention is based upon the concept that where it is desired to reduce or prevent the formation of flying dust and flying fibers during double twist twisting, it is essential to reduce and maintain as low as possible the friction of the twisted thread in the balloon.
  • it is necessary to reduce air friction and also any friction which may be caused by the presence of a balloonlimiting cylindrical mantle or balloon-limiting annular rings or also other guiding surfaces which the thread contacts after it emerges from the spindle. It was generally found that the air resistance of the running and ballooning twisted thread and also its frictional resistance in contact with guiding surfaces can be substantially reduced if the small projecting fiber ends are smoothed down and ad'- hered onto the thread.
  • the fiber ends no longer stand out at an angle to the axis of the thread, thereby not only reducing friction but also substantially preventing or eliminating the tendency of these fiber ends to break off and from a fiber dust.
  • the friction between the running thread and a balloon-limiting mantle or ring can also be reduced over the whole circumferential inner surface area of the mantle by applying a thin lubricant coating to the running thread and to the surface in contact with the running thread in such a manner that this thin coating is continuously renewed under controlled conditions.
  • a complete soaking or impregnation .of the delivery bobbins is impossible, because the thread take-off from the bobbins is impaired and also because there is substantial interference with the regulation of thread tension in view of the sensitivity of various regulating devices, particularly braking devices, after contact with the thread and excess lubricating agent. It is relatively expensive to line the balloon-limiting mantle with a material presenting a very smooth surface or with a single thick layer of a solid lubricant. Furthermore, such solid lubricant linings over the whole inner surface of the mantle are worn off after a relatively short period of time in contact with the running twisted thread.
  • the process of this invention differs essentially from the known wet twist processes in that the thread is not impregnated or soaked before imparting a twist to the thread, but instead the lubricating agent is applied only after the initial twisting of the thread emerging from the hollow spindle and then only in a very small or superficial amount onto the external surface of the twisted thread.
  • the surface of the thread is made smooth and even as the protruding fiber ends are brought into alignment with this surface, and the friction of the thread in the balloon is thereby reduced.
  • the lubricated thread as it passes in running contact over the inner mantle surface tends to spread or give off a portion of the absorbed lubricating agent onto this mantle surface, so that during continuous operation the entire inner circumferential surface of the mantle receives a uniform lubricant film capable of further reducing the friction between the twisted thread and the bal Icon-limiting mantle.
  • the lubricating film on the mantle surface constantly renews itself and actually assists in the uniform application of the lubricant to the thread.
  • the supply of lubricant can be controlled to provide an external coating on the twisted thread which is just sufficient to provide a smooth thread surface and prevent the formation of flying dust and fibers.
  • a lubricant for purposes of this invention, it is possible to employ any of the large number of well known lubricating agents or so-called finishing agents in liquid, pasty or solid form, including various known antistatic oils. It is possible to employ pure or mixed oils as the lubricating agent, and the oil can be applied alone or as an aqueous emulsion or dispersion and if desired with the addition of emulsifiers or antistatic agents. The presence of an antistatic agent is especially helpful in reducing the tendency of the fiber ends to project outwardly from the thread surface.
  • lubricating or finishing agents include the various known oils, greases or waxes, e.g., the higher aliphatic and aromatic or araliphatic hydrocarbons as well as related substances.
  • Such lubricating oils may be obtained from natural sources such as tallow and other glyceride oils and fats, olive oil, castor oil, linseed oil, mineral oils such as paraffin oil or white oil, and the like.
  • Finishing agents in the form of aqueous emulsions of a lubricating agent can also be employed and include such materials as emulsified natural oils or fats, sulfonated oils such as tallow sulfonates, wholly or partially saponified oils and fats, fatty alcohol sulfonates, fatty acid sulfonates', fatty acid condensation products, organo-silicones such as alkyl, arylor aralkyl-silicones, and polyoxyalkylatedfatty alcohols, -fatty acids or -fatty amines.

  • Any suitable lubricating agent or composition can be readily selected for the purposes of the present invention, although liquid lubricants are especially useful in the preferred embodiments of this invention.
  • a lubricating agent which can be easily washed from the surface of the twisted thread after it has passed through the balloon pattern. Extensive washing is not required for such removal of the lubricating agent because of the small amount employed, and the process of the invention is therefore readily adapted to the production of an essentially dry twisted thread.
  • apparatus can be constructed according to a number of different embodiments or combinations, all of which can be readily adapted to conventional double twist thread twisting devices which have a hollow bobbin spindle and means for guiding the twisted thread into an outer balloon pattern.
  • the apparatus of this invention essentially requires in combination with said spindle and guide means a continuous supply means for coating the lubricating agent onto the external surface of the twisted thread, this supply means being located adjacent to the path of the twisted thread as it emerges from the hollow spindle and passes into and through the outer balloon pattern.
  • the double twist twisting apparatus of the invention can include a rotating twisting head at the lower end of the hollow spindle as a means for twisting and guiding the thread into the outer balloon pattern, the twisting head being constructed as a 'hollow container capable of holding a supply of the lubricating agent and having one or more passageways leading outwardly to the outer surface of the twisting head which wall.
  • the combination of apparatus may also include a conventional balloonlimiting or balloon-guiding mantle or ring concentric with the spindle axis, this mantle or ring being modified to act as a container capable of holding a supply of the lubricating agent and to have one or more passageways leading inwardly to the surface in contact with the running twisted thread.
  • the double twist twisting device is provided with a conventional balloon limiting mantle constructed in the form of an elongated cylindrical shell surrounding at least the upper portion of the spindle and having an inner circumferential surface which is concentric with the spindle axis and contacts the ballooning twisted thread in order to constrict the balloon pattern.
  • at least one supply vessel or container for the lubricating agent is arranged on the outer circumferential surface of this mantle, there being one or more passageways or overflow outlets for conducting lubricant from the container to the inner surface of the mantle wall.
  • a single pipeline or conduit can be arranged along side the mantles and connected to each lubricant container by means of a branching conduit so that the lubricating agent can be continuously or periodically supplied to each container.
  • This supply line can be adapted to fill each container with liquid lubricating agent to a predetermined level so as to maintain a continuous supply of the lubricant at all times.
  • the passageways or outlets for conducting the lubricating agent to the surfaces in contact with the running twisted thread may be constructed in the form of narrow slits, finely drilled openings or hair gaps or as relatively large openings tapering up to a fine aperture at the thread running surface.
  • the passageways can also be formed by providing a porous wall along at least a portion of the surface in contact with the running thread.
  • the passageways are preferably formcd by a slot or opening in the mantle Wall and a porous or absorbent material in the form of a wick or the like arranged in this opening and adapted to transfer the lubricating agent so as to emerge from the carrier in alignment with the inner surface of the mantle
  • the carrier or wick-like material acts as the conduit or passageway for the lubricating agent from the container onto the thread in contact with the inner surface of the mantle.
  • a liquid or pasty lubricat ing agent including aqueous emulsions of lubricating agents, can be continuously supplied in this manner onto the external surface of the thread so as to smooth down the protruding fiber ends and simultaneously distribute the lubricating agent on the surfaces in contact with the thread balloon.
  • a constant and uniform application of the lubricating agent onto the thread and the thread contacting surfaces of the mantle can be achieved by maintaining a uniform content of lubricating agent in the container and by providing means to regulate the rate at which the lubricating agent flows through the porous carrier material.
  • Suitable carrier materials include fibrous or fabric tows or wicks, felts, natural or synthetic sponges or similar foamed or cellular structures, or even a sintered material such as a sintered ceramic pack inserted into the lubricant container.
  • the container can be completely packed with a fabric, felt or tow of hemp,
  • the wick can be held in the slot or opening with means including a leaf spring or similar structure adapted to apply pressure or compression on the wick and thereby regulate the rate of flow of liquid through the wick.
  • the rate of flow can be regulated by varying the pressure placed upon the wick, e.g., by means of an adjustable screw to change the tension of the leaf spring.
  • the wick in the form of a felt or fabric strip should fit snugly into the slot or opening such that the thread-coating surface of the wick is even and forms a continuous surface with the inner mantle surface.
  • the rate at which the lubricating agent is coated onto the twisted thread can also be influenced by using fine slits or apertures of different sizes and means to supply the lubricating agent alternatively to one or the other of the different sizes of apertures.
  • the size of the aperture can be made adjustable by inserting plugs therein or by pushing a carrier material into a relatively small aperture and adjusting the pressure on the carrier material in a manner similar to the application of pres sure to the above-described wick.
  • lubricating agent will be applied to the twisted thread depending upon the number and size of the passageways leading to the surfaces in contact with the running twisted thread. These factors can be calculated or closely approximated from the amount of lubricating agent which must be applied to the thread over a given period of time, and the exact dosage of the lubricating agent can then be regulated by any suitable means for adjustably decreasing or increasing the size of the opening or adjustably controlling the rate of flow through each passageway. As a practical matter, it is advantageous to increase the rate of flow of the lubricating agent and its application to the twisted thread up to that amount which is just sufficient to give the desired results without spreading an undesirable excess of lubricating agent onto the thread contacting surfaces.
  • the surface of the thread becomes quite smooth and free of protruding fiber ends, thereby passing more freely and with less resistance through the balloon pattern. Since the twisted and lubricated thread redistributes a large proportion of the lubricating agent back onto the thread-guiding or balloon-limiting surfaces, it is possible to simultaneously provide a thin lubricant coating on such surfaces and the friction between the twisted thread and the balloon-limiting mantle or ring is thereby additionally reduced by an appreciable amount. It was quite surprising to discover that this very superficial lubrication of the twisted thread not only reduces friction but also substantially completely eliminates the undesired accumulation of flying fibrous dust. The fiying fibers or dust are not merely captured or trapped by the lubricant on the thread and balloon-limiting surfaces, but instead the formation of the flying dust is itself prevented and the apparatus and also the thread remain entirely clean and free of such dust over very long periods of operation.
  • the process and apparatus of the invention are particularly advantageous where twisting threads composed of synthetic staple fibers or mixtures of staple fibers which are especially characterized by their tendency to form a large number of protruding fiber ends.
