Title: Improvements in or relating to packaging of textile tow
IPC: B65H54/00
Filed: 1958-03-10
Abstract: 852,433. Packaging textile tow for further treatment. ABBOTT MACHINE CO. Inc. March 10, 1958 [March 14, 1957], No. 7591/58. Class 120(3). In order that synthetic textile materials may be heat-stretched before being converted to tow without the effect being nullified by subsequent dyeing, the materials are prepared for dyeing when in the form of tow in batches large enough for economical conversion to and such as to minimise disturbance of the tow. To this end, the tow is wound in a continuous length into a group of packages, the tow being doubled upon itself in at least those packages between the first and last of the group: accordingly the tow can be unwound after dyeing in a continuous length without the insertion of twist, by rotating the packages one at a time. The group may comprise up to eighteen spools each containing two packages of ten lbs. Each such package is prepared by drawing from a container 25, Fig. 2, holding about 300 lbs. of tow, a reserve of 5 lbs. into a container 26. This is done by an empty spool S1 placed above the drawing roll 24 to provide a nip. This reserve is then doubled with an equal amount of tow direct from the container 25, Fig. 3, two such operations proceeding side by side for each spool. The operations are repeated for another and subsequent spools, the length of tow drawn from each container 25 being kept in continuous form, Fig. 12. When a package is unwound for stapling &c, one of the two portions of tow doubled together is drawn into a container 25a Fig. 16 through a folding device 31, while the other portion passes to a reserve container 26a from which it is withdraw in turn. A similar process takes place simultaneously with the other package on the spool. The procedure is repeated for the next and subsequent spools. Specifications 340,837 and 346,895 are referred to.
