US. Cl. 28-72 11 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A process of stuffer crimping textile strands is disclosed wherein back pressure is applied to an accumulation of strand by fluid contact therewith, as by injecting gas under pressure in the portion of a stufiing chamber downstream from the strand accumulation. Optionally a solid weight may be added, resting on the strand accumulation.
This invention relates to treatment of textile strands, particularly by compressive crimping thereof as in a stulfer crimper.
It is conventional to crimp a textile strand compressively by feeding it by and between a pair of nip rolls into the entrance of a temporarily confining region, the exit of which is closed wholly or partially by suitable means so that the strand accumulates therein under pressure and forces the entering strand to buckle into a three-dimensional sawtooth or zigzag configuration. The construction is such that the crimped strand accumulation eventually moves, or moves by, the closure means so as to escape from the confinement, whereupon it may be wound up. It is also known to dispense with such closure means, as in my US. Pat. 3,279,025 and in my patent application Ser. No. 567,245 filed July 22, 1966, the specification of which is incorporated herein by reference, and to rely upon lateral friction and possibly the weight of the strand accumulation to provide crimping back pressure.
A primary object of the present invention is novel application of back pressure in a stuffer crimper.
Another object is enhanced uniformity of back pressure in a stuffer crimping process.
A further object is advantageous control of the degree of crimp imparted to a strand by stuffer crimping.
Other objects of the present invention, together with means and methods for attaining the various objects, will be apparent from the following description and the accompanying diagrams.
FIG. 1 is a schematic representation of the processing of textile strand according to the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a front elevation of component stufler crimping apparatus;
FIG. 3 is a side elevation of the apparatus of FIG. 2; and
FIG. 4 is a sectional plan, taken at IV-IV on FIG. 3;
FIG. 5 is a fragmentary plan view, on an enlarged scale, taken at VV on FIG. 3;
FIG. 6 is a front sectional elevation, taken at VIVI on FIG. 5;
FIG. 7 is an exploded perspective view of the apparatus of FIGS. 5 and 6; and
FIG. 8 is -a front sectional elevation, on an intermediate scale, of a modification in the apparatus of the preceding views.
In general, the objects of the present invention are accomplished in treatment of a textile strand to crimp it, wherein the strand is stulfed into the entrance of a laterally confining region in which it accumulates temporarily and is crimped and from which it is subsequently withdrawn through an exit thereof, by applying fluid pressure to the strand accumulation to compress it before the crimped strand exits from the confining region.
FIG. 1 shows, schematically, strand 10 unwinding from conical package 11 to pass through guide 12 and successive pairs of nip rolls 13, 13 and 15, 15, with heater 14 for the strand intervening between the pairs of rolls. Pair of nip rolls 17, 17 for feeding the strand into stufling chamber 18, part of whose length is omitted from the view to conserve space, follow after strand-traversing means 16. Cap 21 at the exit end of the chamber has tube 21a joining one side thereof. Crimped strand 10' is withdrawn from the exit of the chamber and is wound onto cylin drical package 20 by grooved traversing drive roll 19.
FIGS. 2, 3, and 4 show stufier-crimping components and associated elements (FIGS. 2 and 3 only) of the same apparatus in front and side elevation and plan, respectively. FIG. 4 is partly in section, and the strand shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 is omitted from FIG. 4 for clarity.
FIGS. 5, 6, and 7 show the downstream or exit end portion of stufiing chamber 18 in plan, front sectional elevation, and in exploded perspective, respectively, including cap 21. The cap has central opening 41 coaxial with the stufiing chamber for the crimped yarn to be withdrawn through and has underlying collar 42 spaced from the surrounding wall of the cap. Between the cap and the end of the stuffing chamber is spacer 45, which has small axial bore 47 to accommodate the strand and also has openings 48 spaced about the bore. Gasket 51 seals the spacer to the end of the stufling chamber. Similar gasket 53 seals the spacer to the surrounding wall of the cap, while smaller gasket 52 seals the spacer to collar 42 of the cap. Annular space 55 defined between the cap and the spacer communicates with the exterior through adjoining tube 21a, which passes through the cap wall, and with the interior of the stuffing chamber through openings 48.
As indicated by arrows in FIG. 6, fluid injected into space 55 from tube 21a passes through openings 48 into the interior of stufling chamber 18, whose lower portion contains accumulation 10a of crimped strand. The force of the fluid is applied, as also indicated by arrows, to the strand accumulation as well as the chamber wall. Such force supplements the wall friction exerted against the strand accumulation and the strand weight (in the illustrated chamber orientation) to compress the strand into its distorted or crimped configuration. Crimped strand Withdrawn from compressed strand accumulation 10a passes through small bore 47 in the spacer and out of the pressurized interior of the chamber. Of course, some fluid leaks out along with the strand, but it is a small quantity. Such leaking fluid also serves to expand the crimped strand as the fluid expand to the atmospheric pressure outside, thereby increasing the apparent bulk of the strand and tending to dephase adjacent bends or crimps as is desirable and also tending to remove any slubs or the like.
Whereas the crimp level, such as frequency and extent, can be controlled by setting the rate at which the crimped strand is withdrawn or wound up, as disclosed in the aforementioned patent application, relative to a fixed infeed rate, a feature of the present invention is controlling the crimp level by appropriate adjustment of the applied fluid pressure. Increasing the fluid pressure increases the frequency or extent (or both) of crimp while decreasing it decreases the crimp level, permitting a fine adjustment therein without necessity for changing windup speed. Valve 38 facilitates such pressure adjustment.
The fluid pressure and flow rates to be used are in large part determined by the characteristics of the strand being crimped and the particular physical dimensions of the apparatus used, as well as the degree of effect desired. When crimping nylon strands of about 1100 denier and about 70 filaments, a pressure on the order of several pounds per square inch above atmospheric will produce a readily detectable change in crimp level. At that fluid pressure, some change in crimp may be detected as the pressure is changed only one p.s.i. or so. The most convenient fluid to use is air, which may be applied at whatever temperature is desired, preferably heated, although if obtained directly from the surrounding atmosphere it may be left at room temperature to aid gradual cooling in the chamber or even be cooled when it is desired to cool the strand more quickly. Its moisture content may be adjusted as desired, and may comprise steam, preferably superheated so as to avoid condensation in the chamber. Additives, such as oils, moisteners, or finishes may be included in vapor or droplet form, as desired.
When the stufling chamber is operated upright with the entrance below the exit, the back pressure applied to the strand accumulation may be supplemented by insertion of a solid weight in the stufling chamber, as illustrated in FIG. 8. In that view of a lower portion of the chamber, weight 58 having axial bore 59 therethrough fits slidably inside the chamber and rests on strand accumulation 10a. As indicated by the arrows the weight presses downward, under gravitational force as well as the applied fluid force, and aids in compression of the strand being crimped. Such a weight may be useful with particularly large or stiff strands and will permit a shortening of the stufling chamber while still permitting unsynchronized constant-speed windup.
While some modifications of the present invention have been suggested above, additional modifications may be made, as by adding, combining, or subdividing parts or steps, or by substituting equivalents, while retaining at least some of the benefits and advantages of the invention, which itself is defined in the following claims.
