Title: Innovations in Synthetic Yarn by Alexander Scott
Introduction
Alexander Scott is a notable inventor based in Paisley, GB. He has made significant contributions to the field of synthetic yarn production, holding 2 patents that showcase his innovative methods and apparatus.
Latest Patents
Scott's latest patents include "Synthetic yarn and yarn-like structures and a method for their production." This invention involves treating separate multifilament strands of thermoplastic material, where at least one strand has a higher than normal shrinkage ratio at elevated temperatures. The strands are intermingled in a gas stream, forming loops, and are subjected to a twisting force that imparts a random twist. This process is followed by a heating operation that causes the strands to shrink differentially, resulting in interlocking bud-like projections on the filaments. The apparatus for this method includes yarn drawing means, intermingling means with a jet device, and heating and cooling means to maintain the yarn at a predetermined length during the process.
Another patent by Scott is titled "Method for production of synthetic yarn and yarn-like structures." This method also treats separate strands of thermoplastic material, ensuring that at least one strand has a higher shrinkage ratio. The strands are fed at different rates and intermingled in a gas stream, then heated to shrink differentially while being held to a predetermined length. The apparatus for this method includes similar components as his first patent, ensuring efficient production of yarn with bud-like projections that inhibit relative movement of the filaments.
Career Highlights
Scott is associated with J & P Coats Limited, a company known for its expertise in the textile industry. His work has contributed to advancements in synthetic yarn technology, enhancing the quality and functionality of yarn products.
Conclusion
Alexander Scott's innovative patents in synthetic yarn production demonstrate his commitment to advancing textile technology. His methods and apparatus have the potential to revolutionize the industry, making significant strides in the production of high-quality synthetic yarns.
