Definitions

  • the process of damping wool yarns serves for two different purposes, first for merely fixing the twist obtained in spinning or twisting in order to avoid crimping in further processing or conditioning. To such end the material is damped directly on the cops or bobbins.
  • vacuum apparatus mostly are used today in which first the air is sucked oil? from the wound packages so that the steam may better and more quickly penetrate.
  • the yarn is damped in skeins so that it will swell or puff up to become more voluminous.
  • the skeins are hung from rods or put on sieve plates so that the skeins will be accessible to the steam on all sides.
  • My present invention therefore, includes a method of dressing or conditioning, for example of damping, yarns being fed continually into a treatment chamber and removed therefrom again.
  • Such method according to the invention is characterized in that the threads to be treated are laid down in ring form on to an endless, air-permeable and continually revolving transport band in order to form thereon a thread-material carpet comprising a plurality of continuous thread loops which overlap each other in the manner of roof tiles, which carpet then is turned over on its fiat side by changing its direction of movement in order to permit to draw the threads oil again from the initial carpet underside without interference.
  • My present invention further comprises means for carrying out the method outlined immediately above which are characterized by comprising a treatment chamber involving at least one endless air-permeable transport band for the thread material to be treated, further a device fed from yarn bobbins for forming thread loops which are deposited in overlapping and staggered relation on to the continually revolving transport band, reversing means for turning over on its fiat side the yarn material carpet formed by said thread loops, and if desired a thread 3,318,013 Patented May 9, 1967 ice winding device for drawing oil the treated threads from the depositing side of said carpet.
  • the staggered depositing of thread loops on the slowly revolving transport band affords a great thread length per unit of the feed length. Thereby is attained a high thread speed of the device for producing the thread loops and a slow feed for the thread material carpet itself so as to require only a short passage through the treatment chamber.
  • the invention also 'has the advantage that the threads arrive in the treatment chamber in the form of a thin thread-material carpet, whereby they may be treated, for example damped, not only more rapidly but also more uniformly than in procedures and methods known so far. Further, thead material of practically unlimited length may be treated by the procedure disclosed by the invention, as in the loop-laying device thread material of any desired length may be laid down in the form of rings or loops on the revolving transport band.
  • FIG. 1 shows in side view and partly in section a first arrangement according to the invention for damping thread material
  • FIG. 2 is a top plan view on a portion of said arrangement
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 show in plan and side view respectively, a carpet formed by thread rings that are staggered or overlapping in the manner of roof-tiles, and
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 depict in a manner similar to FIG. 1, two further damping arrangements.
  • the apparatus shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 destined for damping thread material such as woolen yarn comprises an elongated steam oven 1 through the end-faces of which passes an endless transport band 3 that extends in the longitudinal direction of the steam chamber 2.
  • the band 3 is permeable to air or steam and to such end may consist of a fine wire mesh and runs around two end rolls 4, 5 of which roll 5 is driven to make band 3 revolve.
  • Underneath the upper or pulling portion of band 3 are provided supporting idler rollers 6 that are journalled in the longitudinal sidewalls of oven 1 in parallel relation to the end rolls 4 and 5.
  • the two longitudinal sidewalls of oven 1 also comprise supports for water containers 7 of V-cross-section which are disposed between the two portions of band 3 and provided with heating means 8 operated by electric current or steam-fed for the purpose of evaporating water.
  • a coiler 9 of known construction which comprises six cans 10 that form thread rings or loops, below which passes the upper section of band 3 in contact therewith.
  • the thread material to be treated is wound in the form of cops or bobbins 11 which are arranged on a suitable support 12b.
  • the coiler heads 9 draw thread material 12 from the cops 11 over a roller pair 13 and form thread rings or loops which they lay down on the band 3 that passes underneath same.
  • thread material 12 from the cops 11 over a roller pair 13 and form thread rings or loops which they lay down on the band 3 that passes underneath same.
  • six threadmaterial carpets 12a comprising continuous thread loops that are staggered and overlapping in the manner of rooftiles and that are passed by the upper band portion through the steam chamber 2 in which they are damped.
  • said carpets 12a "3 sf are turned through 180 by changing the direction of movement thereof.
  • the main difference between the apparatus shown in FIG. 5 and the apparatus just described with reference to FIG. 1 resides in the fact that the coiler heads do not lay down the thread loops formed thereby directly on the upper stretch of the endless transport band 3 but on the upper stretch of an endless auxiliary transport band 17 which is disposed above the respective end-portion of band 3 and of which the upper stretch in counter-run to the upper stretch of band 3 runs past the respective loop-laying head in contact with the underside thereof.
  • Said auxiliary transport band 17 runs over two end-rolls 18, 19 of different size of which the larger, i.e., roll 19, is surrounded by a curved guide apron 20.
  • the thread-material carpet at this point undergoes a change of direction and is deposited on the pulling stretch of the lower band 22, whereby said carpet passes a second time through the steam oven, but this time with its other flat side turned upwardly, which is of advantage for the damping effect.
  • the treated threads here too then may be drawn off without interference from the end of the carpet at the delivery end of the lower transport band 22 by the wind-up device 16 to be wound-up via various auxiliary and deflecting rollers.
  • the thread material after having been treated in the treatment chamber does not have to be wound-up in cake form, as in the embodiments described above. It would be possible, for example, to roll the various thread-material carpets after their treatment on to a roll to serve as model or pattern for further treatment of the thread material then may be drawn off without interferterial is wound into balls. Also with such a pattern the thread material they may be drawn off without interference always from the last threaded ring or loop that forms the end of the turned-up thread-material carpet.
  • a method of dampening yarns and filaments such as wool and synthetic yarns which will be damaged if they have sharp bends therein or pressure exerted thereon at localized points when they are heated during the dampening comprising the steps of laying the yarn to be treated on an endless belt while positively guiding the yarn into accurate and substantially identical loops with smoothly curved peripheries while at the same time moving the belt at a speed so that the loops overlap without the overlying loops exerting localized pressure on underlying loops, turning the row of loops upside down and laying it on an endless air permeable belt, and conveying the row of overlapping loops through a treatment chamber and dampening the yarn in the chamber, whereby when the row of loops emerges from the treatment chamber the loops can be drawn off from the top of the row without interference.
  • An apparatus for dampening yarns and filaments such as wool and synthetic yarns which will be damaged if they have sharp bends therein or pressure exerted thereon at localized points when they are heated during the dampening comprising a treatment chamber for applying a dampening agent to the yarns, at least one endless air permeable belt running through the chamber for conveying the yarns through the chamber, driving means coupled to the belt for driving the belt, a yarn coiler at the end of the belt from which the belt moves into the chamber, an auxiliary endless belt beneath said yarn coiler and having the upper run thereof running in the same direction as the upper run of the endless belt and substantially aligned therewith for conveying a row of loops onto the endless belt, the yarn coiler positively guiding yarn to be treated into a row of accurate and substantially identical loops on said auxiliary endless belt, said loops having smoothly curved peripheries and the loops overlapping without the overlying loops exerting localized pressure on the underlying loops.
