Latest Patents
Jack Puckett holds a patent for a "Yarn tape deweaving method and apparatus." This invention discloses a method and apparatus for removing a filler thread from a multiple end yarn tape. The yarn tape containing a filler thread is passed over an elongated framework that defines a filler thread removal region. In this region, the filler thread is removed from the tape and taken up on a Gilbos winder. The yarn ends are separated downstream of the removal region and wound up on separate take-up spools resting on pairs of driven rollers. The take-up spools are frictionally driven by the positively driven rollers. Additionally, means are provided to adjust the speed of the Gilbos winder relative to the yarn tape speed to maintain the removal point of the filler thread from the tape within the defined thread removal region. Further means are provided to shut down the entire apparatus when a break in the filler thread being removed from the yarn tape is detected. This patent showcases his innovative approach to solving complex problems in yarn processing.
