Definitions

  • Another object of the invention is to provide apparatus for producing various kinds of non-woven textile products which may readily be accommodated to the requirements of the non-woven product to be produced.
  • the chambers 41 and 42 at opposite sides of the machine may be constructed identically-Le. both may be like chamber 41. or both like chamber 42.
  • the center zone or section of the machine is disposed between the chutes 22 and 23.
  • Mounted in the upper end of this section in the embodiment of the invention illustrated in FIG. 1 are means for supplying continuous filamentary material.
  • This supply may be from creels 72, only one of which is shown, but which are disposed in spaced relation widthwise of the machine, and each of which holds a plurality of bobbins 73 (only one of which is illustrated), or in the form of a warp beam or beams 74 extending across the width of the machine and mounted to rotate parallel to the condensers 25 and 26, or both creels and warp beams may be employed.
  • a creel is shown at one side of the machine, and a warp beam at the other side.
  • the apparatus illustrated in the center zone of FIG. 5 may also be utilized to produce other types of man-made filaments or fibers such as cellulose acetate fibers or nylon filaments. Heated air may be forced through the forming hood 150 to remove undesirable quantities of volatile dope, which may be present on the fibers or filaments.
