Abstract:
Apparatus for the production of a composite yarn created by bringing together lengths of yarn that includes a plurality of identical work stations mounted in a side-by-side orientation upon a common support frame, each work station being arranged to conduct a pair of yarn lengths along independent paths of travel and packages of yarn mounted upon a creel for supplying lengths of yarn into the work stations, each work station further includinga false twist texturing unit having a first pull-off means for delivering lengths of yarn through an oven means and then through a cooler means and onto a twisting spindle means, and a second pull-off means positioned downstream from the twisting spindle means for delivering yarn into an assembling unit,said assembling unit for co-joining lengths of false-twisted yarn, said assembling unit containing commingling nozzle means for co-joining the lengths of false twisted yarn in a first work station with lengths of yarn in a second work station, and a third pull-off means for delivering commingling yarn to a heat treatment means and fourth pull-off means for delivering commingled yarn leaving the heat treatment means to a wind up and storage means,wherein said first and second pull-off means are mounted alternatively on two parallel independently controlled shafts.
