20130049253 | Process and Apparatus for Melt-Spinning, Drawing and Winding Multiple Synthetic Threads - The invention relates to a process for melt-spinning, drawing and winding multiple synthetic threads and to an apparatus for performing the process. The synthetic threads are spun concurrently side by side through extrusion of fine filamentous strands, cooled down and hauled off to be then collectively drawn as a sheet of threads and wound up on bobbins. To obtain ideally identical physical properties in the collective treatment of the threads, the threads are hauled off independently of each other by separate individual godets after extrusion and before collective drawing. This makes it possible to realize for each thread the same conditions during extrusion, cooling and hauling off. The apparatus includes multiple individual godets arranged side by side, which are arranged upstream of the drawing facility and are each associated with one of the threads. To pull off the threads, the individual godets are configured to be individually driveable. | 02-28-2013 |

The changing device has at least one deflecting thread guide and a movable feeding thread guide, which can be positioned in a deflecting position, the thread being guided at a distance from the winding spindle which receives the thread. | 11-07-2013 |
20140068902 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING INTERTWINED KNOTS IN A MULTIFILAMENT THREAD - A method and an apparatus produces intertwining knots in a multifilament thread. In this case, an air-stream pulse is directed through a nozzle opening transversely onto the thread. In order to produce a continuous succession of intertwining knots, the air-stream pulse is produced periodically with an interval between the air-stream pulses. In order to be able to produce an irregular thread structure, the interval between successive air-stream pulses is continuously changed. To this end, the apparatus has a nozzle ring carrying the nozzle opening, the nozzle ring being coupled to a drive. The drive of the nozzle ring is assigned a control device, by way of which a rotary speed of the nozzle ring is controllable for the purpose of changing an interval between the air-stream pulses. | 03-13-2014 |
20140077408 | Method and Device for Producing a Crimped Multifilament Thread - A method and a device for producing a crimped multifilament thread are described. A multiplicity of filaments are extruded by means of a spinning machine, cooled and subsequently treated by a drawing device and a crimping device to form a crimped thread. Before the thread is wound up to form a bobbin, a multiplicity of intertwining knots is produced on the crimped thread by a treatment device. In order to obtain defined patterns of the intertwining knots within the thread, a pulse sequence of compressed air pulses at a predefined frequency is directed at the thread. The treatment device has a controllable blowing means. | 03-20-2014 |
20140090220 | APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING ENTANGLEMENTS ON A MULTIFILAMENT THREAD - An apparatus for producing entanglements on a multifilament thread, has a treatment channel, has a nozzle bore that opens into the treatment channel and has an air supply device. The air supply device interacts with the nozzle bore in order to produce pulse-like compressed-air flows, wherein the compressed air is produced via a pressure chamber and a pressure source. In order in particular to control the pressure pulses produced in the pressure chamber, a volume store is arranged between the pressure chamber and the pressure source, wherein the volume store has a storage volume which is greater than a chamber volume of the pressure chamber. | 04-03-2014 |

At least one nozzle bore opens radially into the guide groove and passes through the nozzle ring. The nozzle ring is guided on a stator that has an encircling sliding surface on its periphery for guiding the nozzle ring and that forms a pressure chamber having a chamber opening that opens into the sliding surface. The sealing surface of the nozzle ring interacts with the sliding surface of the stator in order to provide air sealing. The nozzle ring is formed in a pot-like manner with an end wall having a disc-like end sealing surface which interacts with an end sliding surface formed on an end side of the stator to provide air sealing. | 04-17-2014 |
20140250646 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PRODUCING INTERTWINING KNOTS - Techniques produce intertwining knots in a multifilament thread. In such techniques, an air stream pulse is generated by a nozzle channel opening into a treatment channel periodically with an interval between successive air stream pulses. During an interval, the air stream pulse is directed transversely onto the thread guided in the treatment channel so that a continuous sequence of intertwining knots is produced in the running thread. An auxiliary air stream is generated continuously or discontinuously and the auxiliary air stream and the air stream pulse are blown in together into the treatment channel. | 09-11-2014 |
20140317895 | Method and Device for Crimping a Multifilament Thread - A method and a device for crimping a multifilament thread are described. The thread is blown by means of a transport nozzle through a compressed air stream guided in a thread channel into a gas-permeable compression chamber. Inside the compression chamber, the thread is compressed to form a thread plug, which is then continuously removed through an outlet of the compression chamber. The compression and the removal of the thread plug are monitored by measuring the pressure of the compressed air stream. According to the invention, a plurality of pressures of the compressed air stream in the compression chamber are measured at a plurality of measurement points distributed over the length of the compression chamber for monitoring the thread plug formation in order to perform the compressing and cooling of the thread plug with a uniform filling of the compression chamber. | 10-30-2014 |
20140366348 | Crimping Apparatus - A crimping apparatus for crimping a filament bundle in a melt spinning process includes a conveyor nozzle and a stuffer box which is associated with the conveyor nozzle. For thermal processing, a processing unit, which includes a rotatable processing drum which, for guiding and temperature control of a thread plug, has a rotating drum wall, is disposed downstream of the stuffer box. In order to be able to carry out as gentle a processing of the thread plug as possible, the stuffer box is disposed axially parallel to the processing drum in such a manner that the thread plug can be infed in a straight run from a plug outlet of the stuffer box to the circumference of the drum wall. This allows the naturally acting weight force of the thread plug to be advantageously used for guiding the thread plug. | 12-18-2014 |
