Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is a method for vortex action yarn hairiness reduction. This invention reduces yarn hairiness by employing a vortex action of a fluid, such as air or steam. Yarn in a substantially dry condition is passed through a body with a central passageway that is circular in cross-section. A plurality of bores extends from the periphery of the body to intersect the central passageway, being tangentially disposed with respect to it. Fluid under pressure is introduced into the bores, creating a vortex action that twists and lays down protruding hairs that cause yarn hairiness. The bores are preferably disposed at an angle of about 40 to 50 degrees with respect to the central passageway and are spaced along its length. Shortly after the yarn exits the body, hot melt sizing is applied to maintain the protruding hairs in their laid down position.
Another significant patent is for roving blending for making sheath/core spun yarn. This invention produces a ring spun yarn with good core cohesiveness and complete sheath covering. The sheath comprises first fibers, such as cotton, while the core consists of second fibers with distinctly different properties, such as polyester. A sliver of first fibers and a roving of second fibers are fed to a drafting apparatus, ensuring the roving is at the exact center line of the sliver. The roving and sliver are processed together to produce a drafted composite sliver, which is then twisted mechanically to create a roving with a core and sheath. The final core/sheath yarn is produced through further drafting and twisting.
