| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 7288306 | Textile substrate having low variable twist yarn A textile substrate is made from two or more strands of yarn that are twisted together using a very low variable twist level. The amount of slight twist and variation in the twist are effective to give the finished carpet made from the textile substrate a uniform ap... | 10/30/2007 |
| 6035620 | Twisting spindle, especially two-for-one or direct cabling spindle A twisting spindle has a spindle that is driven in rotation, a protective pot supported on the spindle and secured against rotation, and a rotary disk fixedly connected to the spindle. The rotary disk has a radially extending yarn channel connected to the... | 03/14/2000 |
| 5457950 | Spindle for manufacturing a yarn A spindle for manufacturing a yarn has a spindle body for receiving a fiber supply bobbin from which a fiber is removed radially outwardly to form a fiber balloon and guided to a centering point above the spindle body. A spindle rotor for rotating the spi... | 10/17/1995 |
| 5341631 | Double-twisting device with magnetic device for elevating axial forces A double-twisting device (2) includes two half-shafts (4) and at least one flyer (6). The flyer (6) connects the two half-shafts (4) and causes axial forces Fa which are exerted upon the half shafts (4) during rotation. The double-twisting devi... | 08/30/1994 |
| 5303550 | Apparatus and method for forming elastic corespun yarn A spindle is mounted to a frame for rotation about the spindle axis. A core yarn package of elastic core yarn is held stationary on the spindle. Elastic core yarn is withdrawn from the core yarn package in a direction substantially along the spindle longi... | 04/19/1994 |
| 5303537 | Apparatus for making metallic cord Apparatus for stranding together high tensile steel filaments to produce metallic cords, including a flyer having a forming die with its drawing axis merged with the flyer axis.... | 04/19/1994 |
| 5150566 | Thread processing machine spindle assembly having mechanical adjustment mechanisms for devices within a rotating thread balloon In a cabling assembly of a thread processing machine, such as a cabling or double twisting machine having a rotor mechanism and thread storage disk rotating therewith and defining a axially-extending and radially-extending thread passageway defining a fir... | 09/29/1992 |
| 4640087 | Rope-making machine In a rope-making machine of type having a number of reel-carrying cradles aligned along an axis and oscillating about this axis, and a number of strand guide structures supported about the cradles and coaxially with the axis, the alignment of cradles cons... | 02/03/1987 |
| 4606181 | Method and apparatus for producing spun yarns of various constructions A method and apparatus for producing spun yarns of various constructions which includes separating a potentially highly productive drafting stage from a spinning process and thereafter by the use of an apparatus which can be used to spin and ply two yarns... | 08/19/1986 |
| 4549393 | Machine for cabling yarns and in particular glass yarns The invention relates to a machine for producing a cabled yarn from two strands supplied from different supply sources. The two strands are twisted together over a freely rotatable roller disposed on the same axis as the upper bobbin, and the yarns which ... | 10/29/1985 |
| 4201035 | Winding machine A machine for winding a filament, such as wire, on a normally stationary mandrel, the machine having a single winding element provided with guides for forming a filament loop on one side only of a rotational axis. Non-rotating feeding means supplies the f... | 05/06/1980 |
| 4114361 | Twisting machine process for stranding wires A high-speed twisting machine for stranding wires or the like wherein there are a plurality of rotor units or assemblies, one on each side of a cradled take-off spool, each rotor unit consisting essentially of a rotatably driven hollow bearing tube with i... | 09/19/1978 |
| 4002015 | Twisting machine A high-speed twisting machine for stranding wires or the like wherein there are a plurality of rotor units or assemblies, one on each side of a cradled take-off spool, each rotor unit consisting essentially of a rotatably driven hollow bearing tube with i... | 01/11/1977 |
