Title: Improvements in or relating to apparatus for and methods of crimping and treating artificial filaments
IPC: D02G1/20
Filed: 1960-03-07
Abstract: 922,988. Finishing yarns. K. TSUTSUMI. March 7, 1960, No. 7992/60. Class 120 (3). Crimped filaments e.g. of nylon, are modified e.g. the crimp frequency and amplitude reduced, by pulling them over a surface of a member formed of electrical insulation material and in frictional engagement therewith so that individual filaments are electrostatically charged and thereby repel one another, and passing them to a heating device which sets the spread filaments. A final heat-setting treatment at a higher temperature and/or for a longer period than the previous treatment may be subsequently applied to the filaments under tension e.g. in wound bobbin or package form. Multifilament twistcrimped, twisted yarn may be loosened and/or completely or partially untwisted and the filaments thereof, and therefore the yarn structure, modified. Two such modified yarns may be plied and the composite yarn subjected to the final heatsetting treatment. Antistatic agents may be applied to the treated yarns. As shown, crimped yarn 2 withdrawn from a bobbin 3 on a rotated spindle 1 is guided so that it rubs on the surface of a block 7 of abrasion-resistant thermoplastic material and is pressed thereagainst by a block 8 of gum and charges the filaments which, in irregularly spaced condition, Fig. 3 (not shown), pass over the convex surface of a plate 9 the temperature of which is maintained by a heater 10 to effect heat-setting, through a guide 11 and is wound under tension on a bobbin 12 by a roller 13 which may be earthed to dissipate the charge.

Abstract: 557,731. Forging-machines. STEVENS, A. H. (Holo-Krome Screw Corporation). June 13, 1942, No. 8106. [Class 83 (iv)] Forging-machines are provided with high frequency induction heating means for the work. The invention is described with reference to making socketed screws from bar stock. Blanks cut from the bar 5 by the cutter 8 are gripped at 40a, Fig. 7, by a transferring-device mounted by spacers 55, 56 on a support 38 moving with the cutter. When opposite the plunger 57 working in a guide in the header the blank is transferred axially into the support 18 where it rests in the first of a series of notches 20 with its end projecting into the induction heater 13. At the same time a heated blank is transferred from the last or ninth notch to the die 9 by a plunger 25. Movement from notch to notch across the support 18, affording time for the blank to heat up, is effected by the shaped upper bar 41, Fig. 8, connected by parallel motion links 43, 44, to a bar 45 sliding in a support 19. The linkage is reciprocated by a connection at 53 to a lever 49a moved in the transferring stroke by a cam 48 and returned in the idle stroke by a spring 54. The plunger 57, Fig. 3, is reciprocated by lugs 58 projecting through a slot 59 to engage a lug 60 linked at 61 to a cam lever 64. Another lever 30 is actuated by the same camshaft 33 similarly to actuate the plunger 25 which is preferably made of insulating material. The heater comtains an elongated coil of hollow conductor 3 embedded in insulation 13 the ends of the conductor being conducted by hollow terminal rods in the H.F. supply. Coolant is circulated through the conductors. The details of the actual forging- mechanism may be as described in Specification 535,074.
