  • the second thread may be a single strand or alternatively it may be formed by individually twisting at least one strand of a further group of strands so that each twisted strand of the further group has repeated along its length successive zones of opposite twist separated by strand twist change-over regions at which there is no twist and then converging the strands of the further group so that they twist around one another such as to form said second thread as a stable assembly having alternating zones of plying twist separated by plying twist change-over regions at which there is no plying twist.
  • the second thread Before the second thread is converged with the first thread, it may be twisted such as to impart alternately opposite twist to successive zones along its length which latter zones are separated by change-over regions of no imparted twist.
  • the invention also provides a yarn comprised of a stable twisted thread assembly formed by the above-defined process.

  • the illustrated apparatus comprises a conventional drafting unit 11 and two pairs of oscillating twisting rollers 12, 13 of the type illustrated in FIGURES 1 to of co-pending US. patent application No. 498,433, now Patent No. 3,377,792.
  • the roller of each pair 12, 13 are rubber covered and arranged so that they are just touching or with a small gap between them. These rollers are driven so that they reciprocate in opposite phase and rotate in opposite directions so that their adjacent surfaces move in the direction in which strands are fed forwardly by the drafting mechanism at substantially the same speed.
  • the two roller assemblies are identical, in each case the rollers being mounted on a pair of shafts 14, 15 which are rotated at constant speed in opposite directions through a gear drive 10 from an input belt drive 14.
  • rollers are keyed to the shafts by feather keys which are free to slide in along keyways so as to allow relative sliding movement between the rollers and the shafts,
  • the rollers of each pair are engaged by a pair of yokes 17, 18 in such a way that relative rotation between the roller and the yoke can occur but no relative translation is permitted.
  • yokes are connected by means of belts, pins, chains or the like 19, 20 to wheels 21, 22.
  • the wheels 21 of the two oscillating roller assemblies are connected to a common drive shaft 16 by means of a pair of cranks 23 and connecting rods 24, shaft 16, which is rotated by a belt drive 25, is split at a position between cranks 23 and the two shaft portions thus formed are releasably coupled by means of a dual-sprocket and duplex-chain coupling in order to allow the positions of the two connecting rods 24 to be adjusted relative to one another.
  • the yokes of the two oscillating roller pair assemblies are thus caused to reciprocate on their guides 26, 27 and thereby to reciprocate the rollers as they are simultaneously rotated by gear drives 10.
  • the coupling of the two roller mechanisms together by shaft 16 causes the oscillatory movements of the two roller pairs to maintain a required phase relationship to each other. This phase relationship will be explained hereinafter.
  • FIGURES 3 to 5 illustrate the manner in which the apparatus may be employed to produce a four-strand yarn which is particularly suitable for weaving.
  • Four spaced strands 31 are passed from drafting unit 11 through the first pair of twisting rollers 12. These rollers impart to each thread 31 alternating zones of opposite twist, which zones are of equal length and are separated by twist change-over regions at which there is no twist.
  • the strands are immediately converged in two pairs by means of a pair of convergence guides 32 to form two intermediate self-twist yarns 33 each consisting of two of the strands 31 plied together with their twist zones in phase.
  • FIGURE 4 The configuration of a self twist yarn produced merely by converging a pair of strands having the twist distribution of strands 31 and with their twist zones in phase is illustrated in FIGURE 4.
  • the mechanism of the self-twisting is fully described in the complete specification of US. Patent No. 3,225,533 and the yarn of FIGURE 4 is identical to the one illustrated in FIGURE 11a of that specification.
  • the symbol 2 is used to indicate regions in the strands in which there is no strand twist and the symbol A -is used to indicate regions in the yarn in which there is no plying twist, regions 2 and A being substantially coincident.
  • rollers 13 The superimposed twist distribution imparted by rollers 13 is similar to the twist distribution given to the strands 31 by the first set of twisting rollers 12 but the two sets of rollers 12, 13 are so spaced from one another and their oscillating motions so phased with respect to one another that the changeover regions of superimregions 22, A.
  • the two yarns having the superimposed further twist are immediately converged by means of a convergence guide 34 and self-twisted together to form a stable four-strand yarn 35 which is wound onto a take-up package 36.
  • the torgue distribution of each of the pair of yarns leaving twisting rollers 13 is that of a strand having the superimposed twist distribution imparted by rollers 13.
  • the superimposition of the further twist on the self-twist yarn 33 causes the actual plying twist in some parts of the yarn to be diminished and in other parts to be reinforced so that the regions A of no plying twist are displaced.
  • the zones 2 of no strand twist are not displaced appreciably by the twist imparted by rollers 13,
  • the oscillatory motion of rollers 13 is so phased with respect to that of rollers 12 that the final yarn 35 has the configuration depicted diagrammatically in FIGURE 5.
  • the individual strands of only one of the intermediate yarns 33 are indicated, the second intermediate yarn being shown in outline only.
  • the two individual strands which are illustrated bear shading lines to indicate their strand twist distributions.
  • the strand twist distributions of all four-strands are identical.
  • the regions of zero plying twist between the intermediate yarns 33 are indicated by the symbol 6 and these regions are displaced from the regions A of zero plying twist within the two yarns 33 which latter regions are also displaced from regions 2. of zero strand twist.
  • the yarn structure illustrated in FIGURE 5 is particularly applicable to warp yarns for weaving.
  • Warp yarns should have relatively high strength and abrasion resistance to withstand the tension and rubbing to which they are subjected during weaving.
  • Simple self-twist yarns have regions of no plying twist which have low abrasion resistance and also constitute zones of weakness in the yarn. The use of such yarns as warp yarns can therefore lead to yarn breakage problems during weaving.
  • a wool yarn of this structure which has adequate strength and abrasion resistance for use as a warp yarn.
  • the free length through which the converged strands 31 travel between convergence guides 32 and the second pair of twisting rollers 13 should be such as to allow an ample distance over which the converged strands can twist around one another as is more fully described in US. patent specification 3,225,533.
  • the free length should be at least the length of a strand twist zone.
  • the distance between the convergence guide 34 and take-up package 36 should preferably be at least the length of one zone of twist imparted by rollers 13.
  • the distance between the two pairs of twisting rollers should preferably be at least one twist cycle length.
  • the distance X is preferably in the range 12 to 40 cm., an optimum value being between 25 to 40 cm., and the stroke of each pair of twisting rollers should be in the range 2 to 7 inches.
  • a satisfactory knitting yarn can be produced by reducing the intensity of twist imparted by the second pair of twisting rollers thereby to reduce the intensity of self-twisting between the two intermediate yarns and altering the path length of one of the intermediate yarns as shown in FIGURE 6 so that when the two are converged the regions of no strand twist 2 and the regions of no plying twist A of one yarn are not coincident with the regions 2 and A of the other yarn.
  • the length of the path followed by one of the intermediate yarns (identified as 33A), as it passes from its convergence guide 32 to the second pair of twisting rollers can be increased simply by providing two further guides 37, 38.
  • the increased path length is such that when the yarn 33A is self-twisted with the other yarn 33B after leaving the second pair of twisting rollers, its regions 2, A are displaced by approximately one half of a cycle length from the regions 2, A in yarn 33B.
  • the stroke of the second pair of twisting rollers is reduced so that it is less than that of the first pair of twisting rollers. It has been found that satisfactory wool knitting yarn can be produced if the stroke'of the first pair of rollers is 2 inches and the stroke of the second pair of twisting rollers is about 1 inch.
  • FIGURE 7 A further modification aimed at reducing the tex. (i.e. weight per unit length) of the resultant yarn is illustrated in FIGURE 7.
  • the yarns produced by the arrangements shown in FIGURES 3 and 6 each have four-strands.
  • the finest wool strand which can conveniently be spun without breaking problems depends on the fineness of the wool fibres.
  • For wool having an average fibre diameter of about 24 microns the finest practicable strand is about 15 tex. so that a four-strand yarn made from such wool must be at least 60 tex. Finer yarns are required for weaving some types of fabric.
  • a finer, yet weaveable, three-strand yarn can be produced by means of the arrangement shown in FIGURE 7 and employing a continuous filament structure (either multi-filarnent or mono-filament) as at least one of the strands.
  • a continuous filament structure either multi-filarnent or mono-filament
  • only two strands 41 are passed through the first set of twisting rollers 12 and then converged to form a self-twist intermediate yarn 43.
  • a third strand 44 in the form of'a synthetic mono-filament is fed through a guide 45 directly to the second set of twisting rollers 13.
  • the second set of twisting rollers impacts alternating twist to mono-filament 44 and the intermediate two-strand yarn 43, and mono-filament 44 and yarn 43 are then converged by a convergence guide 46 'whereupon they self-twist together to form a resultant three-strand twisted yarn 47.
  • Strand 44 may be any synthetic monofil, for example nylon, polyamide, polypropyl ene, alginate or other rayon, an acrylic or polyester monofil.
  • Each of strands 41, 42 may be wool or a synthetic monofil.
  • strand 41 might be a 9 denier nylon monofil, strand 42 a 15 tex. wool strand, and strand 44 a 9 denier nylon monofil. This will give a resultant yarn 47 of 17 tex. which is readily weavable.
  • this yarn will be 88% -wool and it will have many of the physical properties of a pure wool yarn.
  • mono-filaments are not, of course, limited to the arrangement of FIGURE 7.
  • a three-strand structure could be achieved by passing strand 44 directly to convergence guide 46 without twisting it and allowing yarn 43 to twist around it.
  • mono-filament may be used as any of the strands 31.
  • the twist levels and strength of the yarns according to the invention can be altered by treatment with various kinds of additives.
  • various kinds of additives For example, if the strandsused in the preparation of a wool yarn are treated with colloidal silica, their inter-fibre friction is increased and it has been found that this will alter the twist levels in the resultant yarn and will greatly increase its strength. It has been found that wool yarns produced in accordance with this invention are particularly susceptible to such treatment. The effect of such a treatment is illustrated by Example 2 below.
