| 5956828 | Sanding apparatus for air textured yarn and false twist yarn The present invention relates to a sanding apparatus used for the production of air textured yarn and false twist yarn. The apparatus comprises a motor, a housing provided with a guide groove, and a frictional disk connected to the motor and enclosed in t... | 09/28/1999 |
| 5943852 | Method of an apparatus for producing thick/thin and/or color effects yarn A thick/thin and/or color effect composite yarn is produced by depositing a sheath of one or more effect threads on a thick/thin filament yarn in which the thick regions are incompletely stretched, and the resulting assembly is then subjected to stretchin... | 08/31/1999 |
| 5503928 | Fibre reinforced composites In the manufacture of reinforced composites having reinforcing filaments within a matrix, a filament consisting of a staple yarn spun from discontinuous fibers with low twist is subject to controlled stretching to vary the weight per unit length of the ya... | 04/02/1996 |
| 5349729 | Method to control drawing of a plurality of synthetic yarns Method and apparatus to selectively treat adjacent yarns in draw machine to provide different characteristics in the synthetic yarn being drawn and beamed. The yarn running between the feed rolls and draw rolls is selectively blown upwardly away from the ... | 09/27/1994 |
| 5333364 | Method for producing random yarn denier variations on draw warping machines The present invention discloses a method of draw warping a plurality of partially oriented synthetic continuous filaments traveling in parallel side by side relation to produce denier variations randomly along the length of each filament and randomly from... | 08/02/1994 |
| 4684359 | Movable clamp orienter for draw tape A thermoplastic draw tape having thick and wide end portions with a relatively thin and narrow central portion between them is produced by movable clamps which stretch the tape between stationary clamps to produce the stretched, oriented portions of the t... | 08/04/1987 |
| 4389364 | Method of making thick-and-thin fibers Disclosed is a method of making a thick-and-thin fiber or fibers, wherein the fineness thereof changes gradually and periodically along the longitudinal direction thereof. The method comprises (1) a step wherein molten fiber forming polymer is extruded th... | 06/21/1983 |
| 4242862 | Multifilament yarn having novel configuration and a method for producing the same A polyester yarn composed of a plurality of individual fibrous materials such as endless filaments or fibers. Each of these fibrous material is provided with cross-sectional thicker portions, thinner cross sectional portions and intermediate thickness-siz... | 01/06/1981 |
| 4214508 | Method and apparatus for making cigarette filters of filamentary material In the course of continuous transport of filamentary material, mutually spaced portions thereof are selectively stretched, yielding articles having a longitudinal profile varying in filamentary material volume and of essentially constant filament density ... | 07/29/1980 |
